The Osteopathy & Facial Esthetics program is designed to introduce licensed estheticians, spa professionals and massage therapists to the principles of osteopathic manual medicine and its therapeutic application in spa and clinical settings.

As an internationally recognized professional development program, this certificate enables skin care professionals to integrate specific osteopathic modalities such as craniofacial technique, manual lymphatic drainage and myofascial release into anti-aging and post surgical treatments.

With a growing demand for non surgical anti-aging treatments, osteopathic esthetics has proven effective in the treatment of age related skin changes such as premature wrinkles, broken capillaries, periorbital puffiness, dark circles and post surgical scarring.

The origins of this gentle manual therapy lie in the principles of osteopathic medicine and its holistic approach to health and disease. A session with an osteopathic esthetician may include lymphatic and venous massage, myofascial release and elements of craniosacral therapy.
