Why Train With Me?
I am an award-winning clinical skin specialist and educator with over 20 years of industry experience and skin peels are a core part of my daily clinic practice.
I specialise in acne, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, ageing and barrier repair. These are complex, real skin concerns that require more than a product and a timer. They require clinical judgment and that is exactly what I teach.
You are not learning from someone who only teaches treatments. You are learning from someone who performs advanced corrective skin work every single day
What you’ll achieve with me:
- I will teach you how to safely perform professional clinical skin peel treatments.
- You will understand peel chemistry, acid science and how different peeling agents interact with the skin physiologically.
- You will practise on live models under my direct supervision.
- You will leave with a CPD-accredited certificate and the skills to treat immediately.
- You will receive a starter kit to support your first treatments in clinic.

A Barrier-First Approach to Skin Peels
This Is Not Just Applying Acids
Modern clinical skin peels are advanced corrective treatments designed to improve skin function, encourage controlled exfoliation and support healthier epidermal renewal.
Many clients now present with sensitised, barrier-impaired skin as a result of over-exfoliation, aggressive treatments or poorly planned protocols. This is one of the most avoidable outcomes in advanced skin therapy.
Within this course, you will learn to identify barrier impairment, chronic inflammation and inflammatory triggers, and to adapt your treatment decisions accordingly.
This critical thinking is what separates advanced skin specialists from standard treatment providers.
- Acne and congestion
- Hyperpigmentation
- Melasma
- Sun damage
- Uneven texture
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Dull skin
- Enlarged pores
- Post-inflammatory pigmentation
- Overall skin rejuvenation
Within this training you will learn how to safely customise treatments based on:
- Skin type and Fitzpatrick classification
- Barrier function and TEWL
- Sensitivity and inflammation levels
- Active skin conditions and contraindications
- Pigmentation pathways and PIH risk
