Lymphatic Drainage Massage
A calming, rhythmic technique focusing on lymphatic flow, detoxification and reducing puffiness. Learners study lymphatic anatomy, pressure control and treatment sequencing. This course is ideal for facial and body therapists wanting to offer gentle, therapeutic treatments with visible results.
Facial Cupping Vacuum and sculpting therapy (New)
A modern facial technique using soft silicone cups to lift, sculpt and stimulate circulation. When the cup is gently squeezed, it creates a soft vacuum that lifts the skin and underlying tissues. This lifting action is the opposite of techniques such as effleurage and kneading, where the skin and deeper structures are rhythmically compressed.
The negative pressure creates a controlled micro‑trauma within the tissues. This stimulates the skin’s natural repair response, encouraging cell renewal and increasing fibroblast activity. As fibroblasts become more active, collagen production is supported, helping to improve tone, elasticity and overall skin vitality.
Learners explore safe cupping methods, contraindications, and integration with existing facial treatments. A popular add‑on for Level 2 and Level 3 student therapists and professional therapists.
