FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What is the face treatment covered in this course?

The main purpose of the face treat is to provide comfort and relaxation to your client, as you allow time for the body wrap agent to work. It is not a facial. Massage therapists cannot legally perform facials. You must go to esthetician training to do facials. What we do on the face is a simple face treatment that includes cleansing, mask, and moisturizer. No extractions, no chemicals, etc. It is possible that even this violates the massage regulations in your state. If that is the case, you will substitute a face massage to fill the time allowed in the session. It is always recommended that before starting any new specialty, you verify the laws in your state. That is especially important in a course of this nature, where you are learning to apply products to your clients' bodies that some states may prohibit for anyone other than a licensed esthetician.

Do you report our course completions to the NCBTMB, ABMP, AMTA, or any other agencies?

None of these agencies have a method for us to report to them on your behalf. They prefer that you provide the evidence of CEs that their renewal process details.
