Facial Acupuncture Courses
Become qualified and insured in as little as 2 months with this 3-day training.
​​
My goal is to equip anyone who wants to practice Facial acupuncture with the skills to become fully qualified and insured to practice professionally with confidence and results. We have students from all walks of life- from acupuncturists looking to specialise in facials, to cosmetic professionals and beauticians looking for a more holistic alternative treatment plan for their clients.
​
A very popular course, this practical 3-day facial acupuncture workshop guides beginners and advanced acupuncturists alike to be qualified and insured in facial acupuncture.
​
Pre-requisites include a good level of determination, a can-do attitude, open-mindedness, attention to detail and a care for others' well-being.
​
Students also have the option to add on a 1-day massage workshop taught by John Tindall for an even more holistic and relaxing approach. ​​
What are the benefits?
​
Cosmetic Care & Rejuvenation
​
Facial acupuncture is known to be highly effective for cosmetic work, toning and lifting, promoting localised collagen production and micro-circulation. This in turn gives a clear and bright complexion to what can become a dull tired face, reduce fine lines and create a more sculpted look.
Acupuncture is a great natural alternative to Botox and fillers, and acts as a treatment of the whole body- a win-win for your body, mind and spirit.
​
Holistic Balancing for Body, Mind & Spirit
​
We cover different systems of facial acupuncture to support various aspects of health; including musculoskeletal pain, internal organ balancing, mental and emotional wellbeing, as well as treating facial pathologies, such as facial paralysis and Bells Palsy.
​
Be prepared to help make the face look and feel rejuvenated, and experience deeper releases in body, mind and emotionally.
​
As the face is a representation of the whole body, treating areas of the face supports the treatment of areas of the body.
It is also useful for emotional release, stress management, facial trauma and effective pain relief. ​
​
Who can attend?
​
This course is open to beauty therapists (and therapists of all kinds), medical doctors, nurses, healthcare workers and people
with an interest in learning acupuncture and making themselves and other people feel fabulous in their bodies minds and spirits.
What if I have no prior experience with acupuncture?
​
If participants have no prior experience with acupuncture, we offer a prerequisite workshop prior to the training which covers health and safety, client handling, and all basics that give students the confidence to practice on each others' faces throughout the next three days.
The best option is to start with my NADA ear acupuncture workshop or John Tindall's Auricular Masterclass to learn the technique, health and safety and client handling first. Ear points are a great addition to Facial Acupuncture, and the most comfortable place to start practicing needling techniques including flying needle, threading and bleeding.
Alternatively, a 2-hour workshop will be held prior to the course to equip beginners with the skills and confidence to practice facial acupuncture from day 1. Email me at young_alice@hotmail.com, or yuantmc@btconnect.com to find out more about arrangements.

Students will learn a perfect blend of ancient practices and modern theory in the application of both acupuncture and, if elected, massage applicable to the face. The techniques taught in this workshop are simple, safe, effective and efficient and can be easily applied to your client base.
​
Students will learn needling techniques from day one. Particular emphasis is placed on health and safety to effectively carry out facial/cosmetic acupuncture. We pride ourselves in giving guidance to refine the needling technique to perfection; for a non-invasive, gentle yet powerful treatment.
​
The acupuncture workshop also covers:
-
Traditional facial acupuncture system

Cosmetic facial acupuncture

Emotional release work

What do I get upon completion of the course?
​
Students who pass the course assessment and complete their case histories can go on to receive a certification with the Yuan College which enables them to practice professionally with insurance. They will also gain access to materials and resources to help them refine their work and begin with consultations. They can also take the course again as many times as they wish, just for half price.

How do I obtain a certificate and insurance?
​
Following the training, to obtain your certificate to practice Facial Acupuncture with insurance, you will need to document 10 consecutive treatments with 3 volunteer clients (friends/family). The records should include photographs of the treatment and the integration of your learning from the course in treating the client, as well as your learning outcomes from one session to the next.
Once this is submitted and approved, you can come in and do an assessment where we ensure you have a solid understanding of health and safety protocols, appropriate client handling, a good knowledge of point location on all the points covered during the course, and excellent needling technique.
On the back of this we will certify you as an Facial microsystems Acupuncturist. With this certificate you can apply for insurance.
