Facial Acupressure

Facial acupressure is a manual therapeutic technique based on applying controlled pressure to points of increased bioelectrical activity located along the body’s energy meridians. Stimulation of these points supports blood circulation, lymphatic drainage, and energetic balance, positively influencing skin condition and overall well-being.

The technique combines relaxation and therapeutic elements, aiming to activate natural regenerative processes, reduce facial tension, and harmonize tissue function. This lesson introduces the fundamentals of working with meridians, accurate localization of acupressure points, and safe, conscious pressure techniques used in professional practice.

The learning process includes theoretical content, instructional video materials, step-by-step guidance, and a completion certificate, preparing participants to independently perform facial acupressure in a professional treatment-room setting.
