About the Chemical Peel Course

Chemical peels are valuable for treating a range of skin conditions, from fine lines to hyperpigmentation. This course addresses the need for precise understanding of skin anatomy, Fitzpatrick skin typing, and the pharmacology of superficial and medium‑depth agents such as glycolic, salicylic, TCA, and Jessner. Participants learn how to select appropriate patients, anticipate complications, and integrate peels into broader skincare programs, ensuring safe and effective outcomes. By mastering these concepts, clinicians can offer patients clearer, more rejuvenated skin while minimizing risk.

Training is delivered in two phases. First, participants complete interactive online modules that review anatomy, skin typing, and each peel agent’s mechanism of action. The second phase is a hands‑on workshop where learners practice live patient applications under direct supervision, followed by instruction on endpoint identification, post‑peel care, and management of adverse events. Additional sessions demonstrate how to combine peels with microdermabrasion and personalized skincare regimens. Completion award includes a certificate and comprehensive course materials for future reference.

The program is designed for licensed clinicians such as physicians, osteopathic physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered nurses, and dentists who wish to expand their aesthetic toolbox. Participants value evidence‑based instruction that balances theory with practical experience, allowing them to confidently add chemical peels to their service offerings. By completing the course, they enhance their ability to address patient concerns, differentiate their practice, and meet growing demand for minimally invasive skin rejuvenation.

Curriculum: What the Chemical Peel Course Covers

MODULE 1Skin Anatomy & Fitzpatrick Typing

Review the structure of the epidermis and dermis, explore how Fitzpatrick skin types influence peel depth, and discuss appropriate assessment techniques for safe treatment planning.

MODULE 2Peel Agents Overview

Examine glycolic, salicylic, trichloroacetic (TCA), and Jessner solutions, focusing on their concentrations, mechanisms of action, and ideal clinical scenarios for superficial and medium‑depth peels in practice.

MODULE 3Patient Selection & Pre‑Treatment

Identify criteria for suitable candidates, discuss contraindications, and outline pre‑procedural preparation steps to optimize safety and efficacy before chemical peel application, including skin cleansing, medication review, and informed consent documentation.

MODULE 4Application Technique & Endpoints

Demonstrate step‑by‑step peel layering, monitor real‑time skin response, and recognize endpoint indicators that signal safe completion of superficial and medium‑depth procedures while maintaining patient comfort and adhering to protocol guidelines.

MODULE 5Post‑Peel Care & Complications

Outline immediate and delayed after‑care protocols, educate patients on recovery expectations, and teach strategies for recognizing and managing common adverse reactions, including moisturization, sun protection, and when to seek medical attention.

MODULE 6Combination Strategies & Practice

Explore integrating chemical peels with microdermabrasion and tailored skincare programs, then apply learned techniques on live patients under supervision to consolidate skills, while receiving real‑time feedback on performance and safety considerations.

Chemical Peel Certification for Nurses & Nurse Practitioners

Registered nurses, nurse practitioners and physician assistants make up a large share of every Chemical Peel course. The curriculum is the same for every clinician: online didactic modules first, then a hands-on day where you treat live patients in a small group under direct physician supervision, and a certificate of completion with CME credits at the end.

What you can do with the training afterwards depends on your license and your state. In many states RNs perform aesthetic injections under a physician or nurse practitioner's delegation and supervision, while NP and PA scope varies by state and practice agreement. Before you enroll, confirm the rules with your state board of nursing or medicine; our admissions team can also walk you through what other nurses in your state have done.

  • Same hands-on protocol and live-patient practice for RN, NP, PA, MD, DO and DDS attendees
  • Documentation you can show an employer or supervising physician: certificate, CME credits and course syllabus
  • Post-course support from the clinical team for questions that come up in your first cases

Chemical Peel Training: Frequently Asked Questions

Licensed clinicians—including physicians (MD or DO), nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered nurses, and dentists—may enroll, provided their current license permits aesthetic procedures. Eligibility varies by state; participants should verify with their state board or contact our admissions team for confirmation.
The program begins with self‑paced online modules covering theory and safety. This is followed by an in‑person, hands‑on workshop where participants treat live patients under supervision. Upon completion, attendees receive a certificate of completion and a full set of course materials for future reference.
Participants must hold an active, unrestricted clinical license in their field and have basic familiarity with dermatologic assessment. No prior experience with chemical peels is required, but a foundation in skin anatomy and patient evaluation will enhance learning.
Graduates can incorporate supervised superficial and medium‑depth chemical peels into their practice, offering patients options for skin resurfacing, pigmentation reduction, and texture improvement. The specific procedures you may perform depend on your license, state regulations, and any required privileges; confirm with your state board or admissions team.
To secure a spot, please contact our admissions office by phone or use the live chat feature on our website to discuss available dates. You may also submit an information request, and a representative will follow up to complete your enrollment.

After the Course

After completing the training, you will receive an official certificate of completion along with all presentation slides, handouts, and reference guides for ongoing use. Ongoing support is available through our post‑course liaison who can answer procedural questions. Remember, the ability to perform chemical peels is governed by your individual license and state regulations; always verify compliance with your licensing board before offering these services.

Cancellation Policy

All cancellations must be received in writing. A refund, less a $200 processing fee, is given for cancellations received at least 14 days before the workshop; later cancellations can be applied to a future workshop with administrative approval.
