Chemical Peel Training for Estheticians in Ontario

What is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a skincare treatment that removes damaged outer layers of skin. A chemical solution exfoliates the skin, revealing smoother, healthier skin.

Chemical peels are especially effective for treating:

  • Acne scars
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Fine lines
  • Uneven skin tone

They are one of the most trusted treatments in medical esthetics because they rejuvenate the skin and boost confidence.

What Types of Chemical Peels Will You Learn About?

  • Light Peels (Superficial): These use mild acids like alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) to gently exfoliate. Great for dullness and mild staining.
  • Medium Peels: These typically involve chloride acid acid (TCA) to treat moderate sun damage, wrinkles, and pigmentation.
  • Deep Peels: Using stronger agents like phenol, deep peels target severe wrinkles and deep scars. These require more downtime but deliver dramatic results. (please note that deep peels are outside an esthetician’s scope of practice, and have to be applied by a doctor).

Chemical peels are a popular medical esthetics service because they rejuvenate the skin and boost confidence.
