QUESTIONS & ANSWERS 
 

Question - "How do I become a GW Facial Therapy Member and can I then call myself a GW Facial Therapist?"

Answer - To ensure the quality, authenticity and integrity of GW Facial Therapy® treatments, we have established the following policy for the benefit of all our GW Facial Therapists. In order to be recognised as a GW Facial Therapist and practice GW techniques, individuals must successfully complete an in-person GW course with an authorized GW State Trainer and attend at least one course annually for learning, refreshing, or fine-tuning purposes. Discounts are available. Additionally, they must maintain a subscription to the online GW Resource Library for reference. An updated GW Facial Therapy Annual Certificate, issued by your State Trainer, should be displayed on your clinic wall. Payments for the $33 monthly membership subscription and training may be tax-deductible for your business. You can cancel your membership subscription anytime.

​

Question - "Is there a restriction on what I can charge clients for a GW Facial Therapy treatment?"
Answer - No restrictions. You can charge what you like. We have proven $110 an hour is very acceptable, and some GW Facial Therapists do charge more. 

Question - "I noticed a mention of Annual Training Requirements but I can't find any further detail.  What is required in terms of annual training?"

Answer -  For GW Members ongoing training will be provided in-person by their GW Authorised State Trainer. To retain GW Membership and the right to call yourself a GW Facial Therapist, any course, one day or two day,  can be chosen for your annual training course. For fine-tuning purposes you can also attend a training course you have completed before. GW Member Discounts will apply to all courses. 
 

Question - "As a member of another association,  will I need to join IICT as well?   I already have insurance and haven't been able to check if they will insure GW Facial Therapy or not?"

Answer -  No you don't need to belong to the IICT to be a GW Facial Therapist. In regard to IICT Therapist Insurance - this benefit is really for start-ups/new businesses/people who don’t already have insurance for a similar treatment which would cover these additional techniques.  If you do need therapist insurance, as an IICT member you can apply through the IICT.  IICT have a relationship with an insurance company. If needed insurance may be available to an individual by applying through IICT, if they have completed and hold the Gorgeous Woman Japanese Facial Rejuvenation Certificate. This is possible because GW Facial Therapy is recognised as a training provider and modality by the IICT. 

Existing Therapist insurance - Because the GW Facial Therapy techniques are natural facial techniques, although we can’t guarantee it as insurance companies can be tricky, you would expect that existing insurance for facial massage  treatments may cover the therapist.
