Medical-grade chemical peels are still considered the gold standard among dermatologists due to their effective and controlled results. These peels are an effective treatment for skin conditions such as solar lentigos, age spots, and other pigmentation on the face, décolleté, and hands. Our Facial Aesthetic Training will teach you various protocols associated with different types of acids, as well as instruction in performing microdermabrasion (micropeel) and micro-needling. Physicians will also learn about the importance of integrating retail products into their aesthetic practice, benefiting your patients while providing an additional monthly revenue stream.
