Heads up about that online 'master class' for advanced chemical peels

I just dropped $450 on a digital course that promised to teach the latest techniques for medium-depth peels, you know, the kind you need extra training for. The sales page made it sound like you'd get hours of real client footage and step-by-step mixing guides. What I actually got was basically a rehash of the basic safety info from esthetics school, plus a slideshow of stock photos. The 'expert' instructor never even showed their face or gave their real name, which feels shady now. I spent a whole evening going through it hoping to find something new, but it was a total bust. Honestly, I could have learned more from a free webinar or just asking my old teacher. Has anyone found a legit, hands-on training for this stuff that's actually worth the cash?

That's the worst feeling, dropping serious cash on a course that's just repackaged basics. It sounds like they're banking on the fact that this stuff requires extra certification, so people are desperate for training and will pay anything. You're right to be suspicious about the no-name instructor, that's a huge red flag they're hiding behind a brand. Honestly, a lot of these digital courses are just fancy PDFs with zero real world value. Maybe look for trainings run by actual product companies or at big conventions, where you can see the person teaching and ask questions. At least then you know they have skin in the game.
