Peeling with fruit acids, also known as chemical peeling, is a cosmetic treatment that uses acids such as glycolic acid, mandelic acid or salicylic acid to remove the top layer of the skin. This results in smoother, more even and younger looking skin as dead skin cells are removed and collagen production is stimulated. Here are some typical teaching contents for a training in the field of peeling with fruit acids:
1. Anatomy and physiology of the skin: An understanding of the different layers of the skin, their functions and how peeling with fruit acids affects the skin.
2. Chemistry of fruit acids: Knowledge about the different types of fruit acids, their molecular structures, pH values and how they affect the skin.
3. Skin types and conditions: Identification of different skin types and conditions and their reactions to fruit acid peels. This is important to create individual treatment plans and minimize potential risks.
4. Indications and contraindications: Learn when a fruit acid peel can and is not recommended based on skin condition, medical history, and other factors such as sun exposure or current skin care products.
5. Peeling techniques and protocols: Different peeling methods, such as superficial, medium and deep peels, as well as corresponding treatment protocols and safety precautions.
6. Products and equipment: Knowledge of the selection and application of fruit acid products and the use of equipment such as peeling acids, neutralizers and sunscreens.
7. Aftercare and care: Advising clients on proper aftercare and skin care following a fruit acid peel, including the use of moisturizers, sunscreens and other products to support skin regeneration.
8. Risks and side effects: Identification of possible risks and side effects of fruit acid peels as well as measures to prevent and treat complications such as redness, swelling or hyperpigmentation.
9. Legal and ethical aspects: Compliance with legal regulations and ethical guidelines related to the performance of fruit acid peels, including obtaining informed consent, data protection regulations and professional ethics.
10. Practical exercises and case studies: Opportunity to apply the knowledge acquired through practical exercises on models and the analysis of case studies to develop diagnostic and treatment strategies.
These teaching contents should cover comprehensive training in the field of peeling with fruit acids and enable students to perform this cosmetic treatment safely and effectively.
