Chemical Peel Certification Course

Advanced Chemical Peel Training for Estheticians & Skincare Professionals

If you’re ready to take your esthetics career to the next level, chemical peel training is one of the smartest places to start. At the Institute of Modern Beauty, our Chemical Peel Certification Course was built in partnership with PCA Skin®—a brand that skincare professionals have trusted for years—and it delivers the education, hands-on practice, and real confidence you need to perform these treatments safely and well.

The program runs 3 days and 24 hours total. By the time you’re done, you’ll walk away with a State-Recognized Chemical Peel Certification, a PCA Skin® Chemical Peel Certification, and the practical skills to back both of them up.

This course is a strong fit for licensed estheticians looking to grow their service menu, and for advanced skincare professionals who want to add a recognized credential to their name.

Why Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels have stayed at the top of the advanced treatment request list for a reason — they address a wide range of skin concerns and consistently deliver results clients can actually see.

Peels can meaningfully improve acne and acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, uneven skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles, rough skin texture, and dull or aging skin. As demand for corrective skincare continues to grow, adding this certification to your name carries real professional weight.

What You’ll Learn

This program gives you a thorough grounding in chemical exfoliation—the science behind it, the practical application of it, and the judgment required to use it well.

Topics covered include the principles of chemical peeling, skin assessment and treatment selection, peel types and their appropriate applications, pre- and post-treatment care, hands-on application techniques, and client safety and contraindications. You’ll leave knowing not just how to perform a peel, but how to choose the right one for each client and keep every treatment safe.

Hands-On Chemical Peel Training

Reading about a technique and actually performing it are two very different things. At Institute of Modern Beauty, the training is built around doing the work—not just observing it.

Students participate in live demonstrations, hands-on practice sessions, treatment planning exercises, skin analysis workshops, and instructor-guided clinical scenarios. Throughout the course, instructors provide direct, personalized feedback so you leave with both competence and confidence.

Course Objectives

By the end of this program, you’ll be able to do chemical peel treatments in a professional and safe way, picking and tailoring peels for different skin types and concerns, plus run a thorough client discussion. You will also be capable of building personalized treatment plans, and walking clients through the right after-care steps. You’ll also know how to address acne, pigmentation, aging, and texture and how to integrate peels into a broader skincare practice.

Graduates leave prepared to offer chemical peel treatments independently or as part of a full-service client protocol.

PCA Skin® Partnership

Institute of Modern Beauty ‘s partnership with PCA Skin® sets this program apart. PCA Skin® is one of the most respected names in professional skincare and chemical peel education, and their involvement means your training stays aligned with current industry standards and evidence-based best practices.

Students benefit from PCA Skin® educational resources, certification, industry-leading treatment protocols, and advanced product knowledge all integrated directly into the course.
