One day professional training course in Chemical Skin Peeling.
The chemical skin peel training includes teaching using re-surfacing peels at 30% and 50% glycolic/lactic & salicylic peel.
The combination of glycolic acid, lactic acid and salicylic acid within a superficial chemical peel provides a skin exfoliant to chemically remove keratinised structures of the epidermis, restoring a radiant complexion. Safe and easy to use with no downtime.
Open to experienced therapists only please see entry requirements below.

One day insurable accredited course - maximum of 6 in a class, keeping it small ensuring individual attention.
This is an insurable course allowing you to use this therapy with the general public and charge for it.
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 hydroxy acids and when used correctly can improve the look and feel of the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and age spots.
Glycolic acid works in a number of ways, primarily through its exfoliation properties. On application the glycolic acid penetrates the upper layer of the epidermis, weakening the binding properties of the lipids that hold dead skin cells together. This action allows the layer of dead skin cells to dissolve revealing the underlying skin.
We use a 40% active glycolic from DCL and a Bio C peel from innoaesthetics which is a combination of Vitamin C, glycolic, lactic and mandelic.
The course teaches about all the different peels, acids, buffering, pH and percentages as they all alter the peel strength and suitability for skin type. These are time dependant superficial peels taught on the foundation course.
The advanced course we run then teaches layer dependant peels at a deeper level. The peels on the foundation course do not induce peeling, the peels on the advanced course do induce a degree of peeling.

Why is our course so popular?
This is because the certification we give you allows a student to work with which ever particular brand they choose to purchase later and use with their clients.
Importantly as we teach effective and safe methods with products our tutors love to use but do not insist on the students who attend to have to continue with any one given brand afterwards to gain insurance and use what they have learned with us professionally.
This then allows students to make their own choice of brand and also means that they are not tied by any particular brand when it comes to their insurance, so should they ever have a problem and if a claim is made and they have changed brand, they would still be covered (please check this with your insurance provider) giving you a lot more flexibility.
This also means you are not tied into buying brands from us which is very restrictive which only makes the school you are buying them from money but does not benefit you. This means the certificate you gain with us gives you the freedom to use what ever brand you wish, the tutors can guide you to good products but ultimately it is your choice!
Every year we train thousands of therapists, from Champneys Health Resort, large professional salons like Dior, leading hotels like the Mandarin Oriental Spa at the Knightsbridge 5 star hotel, the Sanctuary, John Lewis Spa, Bobbi Brown, Channel 4 as well as training therapists and complete beginners who come to us at one of our many venues.

I liked Martine. I found her to be approachable, enthusiastic, very knowledgeable in the subject, confident and unhesitating in answering questions and her delivery of the theory was very absorbing. She also invited discussion which made the theory very interesting. The practicals were easy to follow with ample guidance and encouragement.
