Protocols
Free clinical reference
A free, comprehensive clinical reference on chemical peels for dermatologists and aesthetic physicians — skin-of-color-first.
Foundations of Chemical PeelingWhat peels are, how depth works, reading endpoints, and the pre-peel consult.
The Acids — Ingredient ScienceThe chemistry of each peeling agent — AHAs, BHAs, TCA, Jessner's, retinoids, depigmenting actives, and why concentration and pH govern results.
Patient Selection & Skin of Color (Fitzpatrick IV–VI)Selecting, priming, and peeling Fitzpatrick IV–VI skin safely, with the PIH risk equation at the core.
Pigmentation & MelasmaUnderstanding melasma pathophysiology and building multi-pathway, relapse-aware protocols that distinguish it from PIH.
Acne & Post-AcnePeeling active acne, sequencing scar treatments, and managing post-acne PIH in skin of color.
Technique, Protocols & ComplicationsThe mechanics of application, neutralisation, sequencing, recovery, and recognising complications early.
Building a Peel Service Line (Practice Economics)Turning peels into a profitable, well-communicated service line — pricing, menu design, consent, and throughput.Yes — it is fully open and free to read. There is no signup, paywall, or login. Every published lesson is available to anyone, on any device.
Practising dermatologists and aesthetic physicians. It is written as a clinician-grade reference — concentrations, indications, and protocols are stated plainly rather than simplified for a consumer audience.
Not currently. This is an open clinical reference rather than an accredited CME course, so there is no certificate or exam. Use it as a working reference at the point of care.
Yes. Skin-of-color safety is woven throughout — priming, acid selection, depth control, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation risk for Fitzpatrick IV–VI are addressed within the relevant lessons, not bolted on as an afterthought.
It expands module by module as new lessons are published, and existing lessons are reviewed and revised as evidence and practice change. The outline shows what is live now and what is still coming.
