Cosmetic Acupuncture: A TCM Approach to Cosmetic & Dermatological Problems SYDNEY – Radha Thambirajah

Beauty derives from our interior, but can be reinforced by external methods. Acupuncture can help the body as well as the spirit, and makes possible, if supported by correct diet, rest and exercise, the preservation of internal health and an external youthful appearance for a long period of time.

This seminar covers the theory and practice of balancing the physical and spiritual energetic conditions, treatment of skin problems, connective tissue problems – the tissue that holds the skin to the muscles -, muscle sagging issues, and postural problems associated with age. Some of the most important topics of the seminar are: plenty of needle practice under supervision, display of techniques on patients, face lifting techniques, as well as techniques with gua sha, moxa and plum-blossom hammer. Our aim is to give you knowledge and the practical confidence to start practising these methods immediately.

Please note: Participants should be registered and practising Acupuncturists or final year students. A complete handout is given with the course.
