An internationally accredited credential and a founder-led intensive - the proof your future clients look for, and the skill that sets your practice apart. This November, SFL comes to Budapest - join the Hungary cohort.
Over four days under Yakov’s direct supervision, you’ll learn the full sculptural and intraoral sequence on real people. By Day 1 you’ll perform the protocol with correct pressure and pacing; by Day 4 you’ll be able to run the complete 32-step method confidently - with the posture, ergonomics and breath-led rhythm that make it repeatable on every client.
You’ll leave with an internationally recognized SFL™ certificate, accredited by The CPD Group and recognized worldwide. The 32 CPD credits go straight into your professional portfolio - so you can present a verifiable credential that positions you as a specialist in natural facial rejuvenation.
You’ll leave able to deliver a premium lift your clients can see and feel - and to position it as a signature service in your menu. Graduates report higher perceived value, premium clientele with waitlists, and fee growth of 1.5× to 7×.
If you recognize yourself below, SFL™ slots into your practice as a signature, premium service your clients will return for.
Scaling your service menu with a flagship, high-margin treatment.
Adding an advanced, high-value modality clients can see and feel.

Learn the original method directly from its author, Yakov Gershkovich, in a small group with personal, hands-on correction throughout all four days - not from a recording, but face to face.
Master sculptural and buccal (intraoral) techniques - the deep work that produces the visible lifting and relaxing effect clients notice immediately, and that very few practitioners can offer.
Turn a precise protocol into a premium, repeatable service that raises your perceived value and helps you attract a loyal, higher-paying clientele who book months ahead.
A glimpse from past intensives - the depth of hands-on immersion you step into over the four days - now in Budapest, Hungary.
Real words from graduates across Europe, the USA and beyond - on the method, the energy in the room, and the results their clients see.

The Gold Standard in Facial Sculpting Education
I’m a facialist based in Los Angeles, and I had the opportunity to take Yakov’s seminar in Berlin in 2024. Over the years, I’ve completed several facial massage and sculpting trainings, but Yakov’s method stands out above all the others. It has become the foundation of my practice and is the technique I use with virtually all of my clients. I work with high-profile clientele in Los Angeles and internationally, and I consistently see remarkable results after just one hour of treatment.
True Master, Relaxing Holiday & Deep Education!
I deeply appreciate the fact that Yakov accepts no more than 20 students so that his full attention and presence is given to each and every one of us. We were paired up with our personal, dedicated massage tables to practice with one another from Day 1 to the end. Theory was interwoven consistently with hands-on peer practice. Yakov takes full time to demonstrate each step and movement concisely and clearly on every single student, so we all got to receive and feel the hands of the original creator himself.
More than just techniques
When I first learned SFL™, I thought I was learning how to lift, sculpt and release facial muscles. But the more I practiced, the more I began to understand that the real depth of this method lies in something far beyond the visible result. You learn to listen through your hands. To feel where the face is holding tension. […] Some teachers teach you what to do. The rare ones change the way you see. For me, Yakov is one of those teachers.
An experience that deeply marked my professional journey
More than learning the SFL (Sculptural Face Lifting) technique, I experienced days filled with knowledge, connection, and exchange. I came to understand that the true difference of the technique lies in its integrative approach, in the care for the human being, and in its potential to awaken processes of healing and well-being. My clients are very happy with the results of the technique - such a success.
Four days that truly transformed me
This training was so much more than just learning massage techniques - it was a deep, powerful experience. In just four days, I felt myself grow, not only as a professional, but as a person. There was something incredibly special about every touch, every movement. I now feel more confident in my hands, more present in my work, and more aligned with what I do.
No filters, no injectables - just the SFL™ protocol. These are the visible, natural results you’ll be trained to reproduce for your own clients.
The mind and hands behind SFL™ - first, original, authentic. It all started with Yakov: he created the method, and you learn it directly from its source.
