Cosmetic Chemical Skin Peels Course

This is a fast and safe treatment procedure offering great results as well as a high profit margin.

A cosmetic chemical skin peel treatment acts as a chemical exfoliant, removing the upper layers of skin and dead skin cells to reveal the fresh and new skin underneath. It is suitable for all skin types but is particularly suitable for pigmentation, photo-damage, uneven skin tone, acne and texture and anti-ageing.

It is one of the most popular non-invasive skin treatments available. A chemical peel uses a solution made up of different types of acids (principally glycolic acid) to rejuvenate and renew the skin through increased cell turnover. Glycolic acid is a type of Alpha Hydroxy Acid derived from sugar cane (it can also be made synthetically).

Due to its smaller molecular size, glycolic acid is more effective than other alpha hydroxyacids and when used correctly, improves the look and feel of the skin quickly, safely and effective with no downtime. There are a number of different skin peels available containing different combinations and quantities of acids.

We will cover a range of peels up to 50% strength which are safe and easy to use with no downtime.
