The industry’s commitment to continuing education has never looked more structured or more accessible. From immersive in-person trainings to self-paced online certifications, the paths into deeper knowledge have multiplied. Two programs leading the conversation right now: one rooted in the science of the skin itself, the other in the emerging frontier of peptide therapy.

ABACT: AMERICAN BOARD OF AESTHETIC CERTIFICATION & TRAINING

The American Board of Aesthetic Certification & Training approaches peptide education from a clinical direction—and makes that clinical foundation available to professionals without a medical license.

Peptide Certification Course

The organization’s Peptide Certification Course was designed to work equally for estheticians, wellness coaches, and health entrepreneurs as it does for nurses and physicians, with the same curriculum throughout.

The course runs approximately four hours, is entirely self-paced, and is structured across five core modules:

Introduction to peptide therapy and its evolution in medicine
Mechanisms of action, including receptor binding and pharmacokinetics
Peptides for skin rejuvenation and anti-aging (covering GHK-Cu, Matrixyl, BPC-157, and TB-500 among others)
Peptides for hair regeneration and combination protocols with PRP and exosomes
Safety, contraindications, and clinical monitoring

Included Resources

Peptide therapy glossary
Fitzpatrick skin type reference chart
Clinical protocol walkthroughs

Instructor

The course is taught by Dr. Mohsen Talani, MD, a neuroscience researcher and anatomy educator with 18 years of experience training practitioners across North America.

Completion requires passing a multiple-choice assessment; the ABACT certification is recognized internationally.
