Facial Hijama® Course

The Facial Hijama® Course is the world's first structured, accredited Facial Hijama training programme — created by Nasima Nahar in 2009 and taught exclusively at Nasima Nahar Cupping Academy in London. Nasima Nahar is the originator of Facial Hijama: she invented, named, and developed the technique, and this is the only accredited Facial Hijama course available anywhere in the UK or internationally. This is not a body Hijama course adapted for the face. It is a discipline built from the ground up around the specific anatomy of facial tissue — the thinner skin, the more superficial vasculature, the lymphatic drainage pathways of the face and neck, the musculature of facial expression, and the contraindications that are specific to facial treatment. The course covers 12 detailed theory modules with end-of-unit theory tests, completed before the practical day. On the practical day — taught with hands-on supervision — you will watch a live demonstration by Nasima Nahar and then practise the full NN Facial Hijama® technique on real clients under her direct supervision. You will study facial anatomy and physiology in the depth required to make safe, informed treatment decisions: bone structure, musculature, skin layers, lymphatic drainage pathways, vascular anatomy, and contraindications specific to the face. You will learn professional client consultation for facial treatments, including printable consultation forms, body maps, and treatment plan templates — all included. You will complete 25 supervised case studies with detailed written feedback from Nasima Nahar on every submission, supported by 3–5 months of personal one-to-one mentorship. Business setup support is included: marketing, Instagram, TikTok, website design, booking systems, leaflets, and Canva support. CMA & IPHM accredited. Highly recommended by doctors.

What you'll learn

  • Online self-paced theory units with knowledge tests — 12 detailed theory modules covering all aspects of Facial Hijama from foundations to advanced clinical application, completed at your own pace before the practical day; each unit ends with a knowledge test to confirm your understanding

  • Facial anatomy & physiology in depth — bone structure of the face and skull, facial musculature (muscles of expression and mastication), skin layers (epidermis, dermis, hypodermis) with specific attention to the variation in skin thickness across facial zones, superficial vascular anatomy of the face, lymphatic drainage pathways of the face and neck, and the anatomical basis for each treatment point

  • Skin anatomy and skin conditions — skin types, skin conditions relevant to Facial Hijama (acne, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, sensitivity, ageing), how each condition affects treatment decisions, and which conditions are contraindications

  • Health and safety, infection control, and sterilisation protocols — single-use equipment requirements, PPE, sharps disposal, clinical waste management, pre-treatment skin preparation, and the specific infection control considerations for facial treatment

  • The NN Facial Hijama® method — the complete original technique developed by Nasima Nahar: cup selection and sizing for different facial zones, suction calibration appropriate for facial skin, the superficial technique adapted for facial anatomy (not body blades), treatment sequence and point protocols specific to facial lymphatic drainage and skin health

  • Live practical demonstration by Nasima Nahar — watch the complete technique performed on a real client before you practise

  • Full hands-on practical workshop — supervised application of the complete NN Facial Hijama® technique on real clients, with direct feedback from Nasima Nahar on every aspect of your technique

  • Professional client consultation for facial treatments — taking a facial health history, skin assessment, contraindication screening, informed consent, and aftercare planning

  • Step-by-step how to perform Facial Hijama® — the complete NN facial protocol from client arrival to aftercare: room set-up, equipment preparation, skin assessment, cup sizing for each facial zone, suction calibration, treatment sequence, lymphatic drainage technique, wound care, and post-treatment documentation

  • Salon set-up step by step — how to set up a compliant, professional facial treatment space: room layout, couch and equipment positioning, clinical hygiene standards, waste disposal, and what you need before your first client

  • Business plan — how to launch and grow your Facial Hijama practice: pricing your treatments, finding clients, marketing on Instagram and TikTok, booking systems, and building a sustainable business from day one

  • Medical history form templates — professional, print-ready client consultation and medical history forms provided; ready to use from your very first client

  • Consultation forms, body maps, and treatment plan templates — all printable, professional documents included for use in your own practice from day one

  • Aftercare guidance — what to advise clients after Facial Hijama, how to manage the healing response of facial skin, what to watch for, and when to refer

  • 25 supervised case studies — each submitted with full consultation notes, treatment records, and client response documentation; individually reviewed with detailed written feedback from Nasima Nahar on every submission

  • 3–5 months personal one-to-one mentorship — ongoing support from Nasima Nahar as you complete your case studies and build your practice; she reviews your work, answers your clinical questions, and supports your development throughout

  • Free starter kit — 20 cups, pump, blades, and antiseptic wipes included; everything you need to begin practising immediately after your course

  • Business setup support — marketing strategy, Instagram content, TikTok content, website setup guidance, booking system recommendations, leaflet design, and Canva support to help you launch and grow your Facial Hijama practice
