Overview

Chemical peels use controlled exfoliating solutions to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity. Because they involve active acids, proper training, product selection, and safety controls are essential. Incorrect application can cause burns, hyperpigmentation, or long-term damage. By understanding how to assess client suitability, follow manufacturer protocols, and manage aftercare, aestheticians can offer safe, effective peel treatments while meeting UK legal and insurance standards.
