The method

No needles. Only hands.

Sculptural Face Lifting works with the mimic and chewing muscles from the outside and from inside the mouth. It restores muscle tone and returns the face its own shape.

Therapeutic Emotional Release

The therapist learns to recognise the state, to hold it, and to bring the client into it. This is why the seminars are taught in person and never only on video.

I had the opportunity to take Yakov's seminar in Berlin. Over the years I have completed several facial massage and sculpting trainings, and this method changed how I work with every client. It is the gold standard in facial sculpting education.
Regina QueirozFacialist, Los Angeles, United States
I am absolutely thrilled with the seminar and the training as a whole. It is a powerful, profound and deeply energising experience. You learn to work with clients in a completely different way.
Aljona DombrovskaUnited Kingdom
The video lessons are exceptionally clear and the results are transformative. Completing the videocourse with Yakov has been a wonderful experience.
AggelikiGreece
I first became an online student in 2023, then attended the first ever SFL seminar in Thailand in 2024 to become a licensed practitioner. It is more than just techniques.
Kamonrath Kh.Bangkok, Thailand
Four days that truly transformed me. In four days I grew not only as a professional but as a person, and my hands learned a language they did not have before.
Maryna BebawyUnited States
I completed both Level 1 and Level 2. After Level 1 I knew immediately that I had to continue, because of the atmosphere, the depth and the way everything is explained.
Juljetta AslanovaGermany
I was amazed how thorough the videos were, showing every move from different angles so you can actually understand them. The online course is great.
