About the Training & My Experience
Chemical peels are one of the most effective treatments in professional skincare. When used correctly, they can help improve texture, brighten dull skin, reduce congestion, support exfoliation and visibly refine the complexion, without causing unnecessary irritation. This treatment is built on understanding skin physiology, choosing the correct type of acid and selecting the right strength for each client.
My work with professional peels began through advanced skincare education, where I discovered how powerful acids can be when used thoughtfully and safely. Over time, I trained across different levels of peels, from gentle superficial exfoliation to advanced layered approaches. Through this experience, I developed a clear and structured way of working with acids that respects the skin barrier and promotes visible improvement.
At YA Studio, I teach a method that focuses on skin understanding first, acids second, so you learn why and when to choose specific formulations, not just how to apply them.

Who Is This Training For?
This course is suitable for practitioners with a foundation in facial treatments, such as Skin Care & Facial Therapy, Level 2 Beauty, or equivalent. Some insurance providers may require a basic facial qualification when offering chemical peel treatments, therefore it is recommended to check your cover requirements with your insurer before booking.
This training is ideal if you:
Want to learn how to select acids based on skin needs, not trends
Want to safely introduce chemical peels into your treatment menu
Prefer thoughtful, barrier respecting skin care instead of aggressive exfoliation
Value visible results with minimal downtime
If you are new to facials, it is recommended to start with a basic skin care qualification before progressing to Chemical Peels.
