The one-day Natural Face Lift Massage course at London School of Massage provides practical facial massage training for qualified massage therapists and other eligible practitioners.
Also known as facial rejuvenation massage or facial sculpting massage, the treatment uses manual techniques for the face, scalp, neck and surrounding tissues. No machines, needles or injectable products are used.
Students train in facial cleansing, flowing massage, lifting, sculpting, stimulation and gentle drainage techniques. Training also includes facial anatomy, skin types, consultation, contraindications, professional hygiene and a complete treatment routine.
The course is delivered through tutor demonstrations, supervised partner practice and ongoing practical assessment.
Important: Natural Face Lift Massage is a massage-based wellbeing treatment rather than a surgical facelift or beauty facial. Results vary and any change in facial appearance should be presented as temporary rather than guaranteed.
