Chemical Peels are a foundational treatment in the facialists toolkit, treating a broad range of skin conditions and used in the fight against premature ageing. BHA/AHA Facial Peels can work in combination with Skin Needling and IPL therapy. Like all advanced treatments, they are not without risk and thus correct training is important for providing the best outcome for clients.

While many brands exist we concentrate on the active ingredients Beta hydroxy acids (BHA) and (AHA) or alpha hydroxy Acids. Teaching the science behind the products allows learners to understand better the products they are using and aids in brand selection.
