Professional Chemical Peel Training for Qualified Beauty & Skin Practitioners
Advance your professional skincare skills with our AIT Certificate in Chemical Peels at Beautorium Training Academy.
Designed for qualified beauty, skincare and aesthetic practitioners, this practical course provides the knowledge and hands-on skills required to safely introduce professional chemical peeling treatments into your treatment portfolio.
Chemical peels are an extremely versatile addition to an advanced skincare menu and can be incorporated into treatment programmes addressing concerns such as ageing, uneven skin texture, superficial pigmentation, congestion and blemish-prone skin.
Our focus is not simply on teaching you how to apply a peel.
You will learn how to assess the skin, select an appropriate peel, recognise contraindications, understand peel ingredients and strengths, manage the treatment safely and provide appropriate pre- and post-treatment care.

Previous professional skincare/facial training is required.
If you are a complete beginner with no previous skincare qualification, our Access to Aesthetic Therapies or Advanced Skin Practitioner Pathway may be a more appropriate starting point.
