Course Description
Michelle Gellis is a renowned acupuncturist who not only performs the ancient art of facial acupuncture, she also teaches acupuncture facial rejuvenation classes to acupuncturists across the nation.
Discover the transformative power of Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, an ancient practice that offers a gentle, effective, and safe approach to combat the signs of aging and rejuvenate your face naturally. This course delves into the benefits of acupuncture for revitalizing the skin, building collagen, toning muscles, improving circulation, and stimulating blood flow. Unlike surgical procedures or injections, Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture carries no risks of scars, infections, rashes, or chemical buildup.
Beyond its cosmetic effects, Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture works holistically by shifting the energy flow within the body, initiating a process of constitutional rejuvenation. Chinese medicine teaches us that health radiates from the inside out, and this holistic approach not only erases frown lines but also improves overall well-being, sleep quality, energy levels, and digestion. As we age, the muscles in our face lose tone and mass, leading to sagging, deep wrinkles, and a tired appearance. Through acupuncture, muscle function is stimulated, allowing the face to lift itself naturally via targeted acupuncture points. This results in a healthier, revitalized, and more youthful appearance.
In this course, you will learn specific techniques employed by Michelle, an expert practitioner, who has achieved incredible results, as demonstrated in the accompanying photos below. The course covers the placement of acupuncture needles on the face, including specific points which are noted to have the highest efficacy and wrinkle areas. The micro trauma caused by needles in the wrinkles stimulates collagen production, further enhancing the rejuvenating effects.
Unlock the secrets of Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture and acquire the skills to help your clients achieve remarkable results. Embrace the holistic approach to anti-aging and experience the natural transformation that extends beyond the surface of the skin.
