It especially focus on the treatment of pain, stiffness, stress, lumps/cysts (yin accumulation) with Master Tung Acupuncture through series of training and courses. We will share with you the understanding of these disorders by Master Tung acupuncturists and also the pain relief methods and skills.

Building on the foundation from Part 1, Master Tung Acupuncture Part II will focus on the clinical application of the points you have learned in Part I.

We will guide you through case-based discussions and treatment strategies, and how Master Tung addresses various conditions.

Each day includes a lecture first in the morning and lots of practice in the afternoon. We will cover not only rejuvenation but also approaches that help different skin conditions such as Acne, Rosacea and we will discuss body acupuncture strategies as well as face/scalp needling that can help treat these conditions. We will also cover some basics of making your own skin care products for different skin types should you be interested in pursuing that further. We will discuss the business/marketing aspect as well as reasons why we may want to incorporate Cosmetic Acupuncture into your Acupuncture practice to increase your earning potential and diversify your practice.

After the weekend you can expect to be more comfortable with Face Acupuncture points that you may not regularly use in practice, so in fact, whether you end up offering a Cosmetic aspect or not, you will advance your needling technique for the face which is quite a sensitive area. Contraindications, and safety will be covered. You will learn to use a variety of needle types for the face, with special techniques.
