About this course

Practical training in chemical peels and microdermabrasion, two of the most widely used non-surgical treatments for acne, ageing skin, sun damage, scarring and pigmentation. The course covers skin anatomy, skin typing and skin health management as the basis for deciding which treatment suits which patient.

Not every product on the market performs the same way. A substantial part of the course is learning to tell them apart, so you can select and justify the right resurfacing approach rather than following a supplier's recommendation.

What you will be able to do

Students practise on patients under the supervision of a certified instructor.

• Carry out skin analysis and assessment.
• Select and use microdermabrasion products and procedures.
• Identify chemical resurfacing ingredients and what each one does.
• Follow treatment protocols and anticipate the reactions each produces.
• Work with lactic, glycolic, salicylic, Jessner, TCA, enzyme and combination peels.
• Apply safe-use standards throughout treatment.
• Manage patients before and after treatment.
• Recognise and manage adverse effects and complications.
