Advanced Chemical Peel Training Course on a laptop

If you're looking for an online chemical peel certification course that goes beyond basic protocols, you are in the right place.

This training is designed for estheticians, aesthetic nurses, medical aesthetics professionals, and other skincare professionals who want a deeper understanding of peel acids, treatment planning, client safety, and choosing the right peel for the right client.

Ideal for beginners with no experience, as well as
a refresher course for those with some prior knowledge.

With this self-paced online course, you can learn at your own pace and on your own schedule while gaining a clearer understanding of chemical peel safety, peel selection, application methods, pre- and post-treatment care, and protocols specific to treating darker skin tones.

My goal is for you to leave this course with a deeper understanding of chemical peels, so you feel more confident choosing treatments, prioritizing client safety, and understanding the “why” behind what you’re doing.

Chemical Peels in Your
Aesthetic Business

A woman getting a chemical peel treatment on her face.

Chemical peels can provide significant results by helping address concerns such as uneven tone, texture, acne-prone skin, hyperpigmentation, and visible signs of aging when they are selected and performed appropriately.

Chemical peels have consistently ranked among the top minimally invasive cosmetic procedures in the U.S., according to statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Not only are they an affordable treatment for many clients, but they can also be one of the more profitable treatments to offer because product costs are often low compared with the treatment price.

With a one-time investment, you can easily recoup the money spent on the course in just 1 to 2 treatments.

In this course, you will learn comprehensive information about proper procedures and protocols for different chemical peels, for both aesthetic and medical-grade peels, including:

AHAs: glycolic acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid
BHAs: salicylic acid
Jessner’s Peel
Modified Jessner’s Peel
TCA Peel: trichloroacetic acid
Vitamin A Peels (retinoids)
Phenol Peel

By the end of this training,
you will:

Feel confident when

choosing the correct peel,
for the correct skin concern,
on the correct client,

to achieve real results

while avoiding adverse reactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Course Details FAQs

Who is this chemical peel course for?

This course is designed for skincare professionals, estheticians, aesthetic nurses, nurse estheticians, medical aestheticians, and students who want to build a deeper understanding of chemical peels.

Whether you are brand new to chemical peels, need a refresher, or want to strengthen what you already know, this course was created to help you better understand peel science, safety, and treatment decision-making.

Before performing chemical peels professionally, skincare professionals should verify their state’s scope of practice, licensing rules, employer requirements, and insurance requirements.

Is this chemical peel course for estheticians?

Yes. This course is designed for estheticians who want to better understand chemical peel science, treatment safety, skin analysis, contraindications, pre-care, post-care, and how different acids may be selected for different skin concerns. Because chemical peel rules vary by state, estheticians should always verify their scope of practice before performing chemical peels professionally.

Is this chemical peel course for nurses?

Yes. This course is perfect for aesthetic nurses, nurse estheticians, and other medical professionals who want to better understand chemical peel science, peel depth, acid selection, contraindications, pre-care, post-care, and treatment safety. It also discusses more advanced and medical-grade chemical peels that may only be performed by licensed medical professionals, depending on state law and practice setting.

Nurses and other licensed medical professionals should always verify their state rules, employer policies, medical director requirements, and malpractice insurance requirements before performing chemical peels professionally.

What will I learn in this chemical peel course?

In this chemical peel course, you’ll learn how different chemical peel acids work, including AHAs, BHAs, Jessner’s, Modified Jessner’s, TCA, Vitamin A peels, and phenol. You’ll also learn about skin anatomy, peel depth, concentration and pH, Fitzpatrick skin typing, client selection, contraindications, pre-care, post-care, potential complications, darker skin tone considerations, and how to think more critically when choosing chemical peel treatments.

Is this course based on a specific chemical peel line?

No. This course is brand-neutral, meaning it is not based on one specific chemical peel company or product line.

It is focused on education, not selling or requiring one specific peel line. This helps you understand different peel acids, how the skin responds to them, contraindications, treatment planning, side effect prevention, and client safety, so you can apply the information to any professional skincare line you choose to work with.

Are chemical peel supplies or kits included?

No. Chemical peel supplies, products, and kits are not included with the course. However, the course includes a comprehensive list of 65 professional chemical peel brands so you can research different options and choose the line that makes the most sense for your business, license, scope of practice, and treatment setting.

If you are new to chemical peels and need peels to practice with while going through the course, I also provide a resource for inexpensive sample-size peels so you can try different acids before committing to full sizes.

Is this course online and self-paced?

Yes. This is a self-paced online chemical peel course. You can start anytime, complete the lessons on your own schedule, and since you will have lifetime access to the course, you can return to the course material whenever you need to review it.

Is this course beginner-friendly?

Yes. This course is beginner-friendly and designed for students or professionals with no prior chemical peel experience, while still being detailed enough for experienced skincare professionals who want a refresher or a more in-depth understanding.

Certificates, Licensing & CE Credits FAQs

Will I receive a certificate after completing the course?

Yes. Upon completion of the course, you will receive a Certificate of Completion that you can include on your resume, add to your professional portfolio, or showcase to your clients and display in your practice.

This certificate confirms course completion, but it does not authorize you to perform chemical peels or replace any licensing, scope-of-practice, employer, insurance, or local governing requirements.

Should I verify my state’s scope of practice before enrolling?

Yes. Before enrolling, you should verify your state’s scope of practice, licensing rules, employer requirements, and insurance requirements to confirm whether this course aligns with your professional goals and whether you are allowed to perform chemical peels in your state or jurisdiction.

Chemical peel rules can vary widely depending on your location, license type, treatment setting, and the type or depth of peel being performed. This course provides education and a Certificate of Completion, but it does not replace state licensing requirements or authorize you to perform chemical peels outside your legal scope of practice.

Because these requirements vary, it is your responsibility to confirm this information before purchasing. Refunds are not available if you later determine that chemical peels are not allowed within your scope of practice, employer requirements, insurance requirements, or state/jurisdiction regulations.

What qualifications do I need to perform chemical peels?

The qualifications needed to perform chemical peels depend on your state or jurisdiction, license type, treatment setting, employer requirements, insurance requirements, and the type or depth of peel being performed.

In many areas, chemical peels may be performed by licensed estheticians, nurses, or other licensed medical professionals, but the rules can vary widely. Some states may allow licensed estheticians to perform certain superficial peels, while deeper or more advanced chemical peels may require medical licensure, physician supervision, or a medical setting.

It is your responsibility to verify your own state board rules, local laws and regulations, employer requirements, and insurance requirements before performing chemical peels professionally.

Does this course count toward CE credits or state chemical peel training requirements?

This course is not currently approved by individual state boards for CE credits or chemical peel training requirements. Some states, employers, or insurance providers may accept proof of additional chemical peel training, but requirements vary.

Before purchasing, please verify with your state board, employer, or insurance provider whether this course satisfies any CE, training, or documentation requirements for your specific situation. Refunds are not available if you later determine that the course does not meet your individual state, employer, insurance, or CE requirements.

If you specifically need continuing education credits, please review the separate NCEA COA-approved chemical peel CE course and verify with your state board whether NCEA COA-approved credits apply to your renewal requirements.

What is the difference between this course and the CE-approved chemical peel course?

This course contains the same educational content as the CE-approved course. However, to receive the NCEA COA-approved 10 CE credits, the course must be purchased and completed through the CE-approved chemical peel course page.
