Where do you start

Yakov Gershkovich teaching at a Sculptural Face Lifting seminar
For professionals

Learn the method from its author

Level 1 puts the base protocol into your hands in four days. Level 2 comes later, when the method is already your daily work. Both are taught by Yakov himself, in groups of no more than sixteen.

Self Rejuvenation is the method filmed for your own hands: the same protocol, shown from several angles, at your pace and with lifetime access. No seminar, no travel, no waiting for a date.

What it looks like from the inside

Four days in one room: the base protocol on the outer muscles and from inside the mouth, every pair of hands corrected by Yakov.

In the room
The method

Hands only. Nothing else.

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.

How it works

Yakov works on a client's face
The part that cannot be copied

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.

Where this is going

Not a travelling seminar. A system.

For years the method travelled with one pair of hands. The next years are about something else: a professional network, spaces that carry the name, and a small circle of teachers trained by Yakov himself, so that Sculptural Face Lifting keeps growing where he is not.

  1. 01

    SFL Alliance

    An international network of specialists we keep developing after the seminar: extra sessions, mentoring, a card in the catalogue and local promotion in their own city.

  2. 02

    Spaces under the name

    A room, a studio or a clinic built to one standard, where Sculptural Face Lifting is the main treatment and the client recognises the name before she walks in.

  3. 03

    Accredited educators

    Seven or eight teachers in the world, no more. People Yakov trains personally and trusts with the culture of the method, not only with its technique.

  4. 04

    SFL Express

    A short, standardised treatment in a network of small salons, where the result is visible and felt in the same visit. The first flagship comes before the second.

This is the plan Yakov is building towards, step by step. Alliance is the step that is open now.

The community

Specialists who work with the method

Every certified specialist gets a card in the public catalogue, so a client in her city can find her by name, country and level.

In their own words

Verified reviews from students around the world
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.

About Yakov

Not a technique he learned. A method he built.

Manual therapy, reflexology and osteopathic work first, then aesthetics and the luxury spas he ran from 2001. Sculptural Face Lifting grew out of all of it, and Yakov has taught it himself ever since, all over the world.
