OUR TREATMENTS
Acuregen treatments are a blend of constitutional (health) acupuncture and facial work. A difference is drawn between the two aspects of a treatment, as well as how this is performed. As a patient’s expectation is to receive a ‘beauty treatment’, this has been built into the training (and treatment) experience, hence the development of our cosmetic range and very special, quite unique treatment style. Correct use of cosmetic products is a focus, enabling practitioners to harness beautician skills and also experience working with the face. Our training includes adherence to the Acuregen Code of Conduct for this work, ensuring safe and professional practice near the face.
NEW STUDENTS
Introduces professional acupuncturists (51 hour CPD Signature Course) and new students (with the 200 hour Certificate Course) to aesthetic facial needling using techniques that enable them to learn more about facial tissue and how to manage most skin concerns. A newly expanded, certified course offering strategies for beauty concerns, dermatology, the ‘treat’ element in facial treatments, reducing discomfort and enhancing relaxation combined with a balancing constitutional approach. Can be combined with other facial rejuvenation systems to add to existing skills. Theory is comprehensive, covering concepts on how the system works explained scientifically yet uniquely blended with TCM. Also, Treatment methods, materials and case study examples.
Our courses allow you membership of the Acupuncture Society and you can carry the letters MAcS CA.
A Balens Acuregen Group Policy is available to all graduates.
