Dien Chan is the original facial reflexology method created by Professor Bùi Quốc Châu in Vietnam in the 1980s. It is based on the stimulation of reflex points and zones on the face to restore energetic balance, relieve pain and promote natural wellbeing.
Unlike other reflexologies, Dien Chan is multidimensional, with several reflex diagrams that overlap and complement each other.
To become a certified Dien Chan practitioner, it is recommended to undertake a complete training programme at the International School of Multireflexology - Dien Chan (ISMDC).
Our certification programme covers all the subtleties of the method: reflex diagrams, bqc·points, the use of multireflex tools and the creation of personalised protocols.
Training is available in French, Spanish and English.
The complete Dien Chan training comprises several progressive modules:
• DienChan❜reflex
• DienChan❜pro
• DienChan❜clinic
• DienChan❜master
• and optionally the natural aesthetics and holistic wellbeing module: Chan❜beauté
The full curriculum provides the skills needed to become an independent practitioner capable of creating your own treatment protocols.
Consult our training calendar at training.Multireflexology.com for specific dates and durations.
Dien Chan is internationally recognised as a method of wellbeing and complementary natural therapy.
The International School of Multireflexology - Dien Chan (ISMDC) has been the official school of the original method since 2002, in collaboration with the Việt Y Đạo Center in Saigon.
Our certification is recognised by practitioners and natural therapy institutions in Europe and across the Americas.

It is possible to take your first steps in Dien Chan using our educational resources (booklets, applications, videos and blog articles), but a structured training course is strongly recommended to master the method.
We offer both in-person and online training to suit your needs.
Our booklets and the Faceasit application, winner of the reflexology innovation award in 2018, guide you in building personalised protocols.
Dien Chan is a holistic approach that aims to restore the dynamic balance of the body. It can help with many imbalances: pain relief, stress and anxiety management, improvement of circulation, strengthening of the immune system, digestive disorders, muscular tension, and so on.
This method addresses the person as a whole and does not replace medical advice.
Chan❜beauté is a technique derived from Dien Chan, developed since 2006 by the ISMDC research department, specifically for natural aesthetics and holistic wellbeing.
It addresses skin imperfections (blemishes, scars, wrinkles) by reaching the origin of the internal imbalance that manifests on the skin, combining the principles of Dien Chan with aesthetic yin and yang gestures.
Yes, Faceasit❜clinic is the preferred version of ISMDC students and professional therapists.
It allows them to manage client records, build bqc·point treatment formulas, develop reflex zone treatments and share personalised care plans — including with the practitioner's logo.
A tool that concretely extends and adds value to the training received at school.

Often reduced to facial reflexology, Dien Chan is in reality a far more sophisticated technique.
While plantar reflexology uses a single reflex diagram, Dien Chan uses more than a dozen of them.
It also incorporates its own map of bqc·points — distinct from that of traditional Chinese medicine — as well as precise multireflex tools that are respectful of the skin.
This richness makes it possible to develop holistic, in-depth and personalised treatment plans for each individual.

At the end of the programme, you will be able to project the reflex diagrams onto any face, correctly use the multireflex tools and their effects, master the bqc·point map and associated formulas, and develop tailored treatment plans for each individual.

The training calendarFor a beginner, the Faceasit❜reflex version is ideal.
It offers solutions in facial reflex zones — those green areas that bring together the bqc·points of Dien Chan combined with the reflex diagrams.
It also recommends the two multireflex tools suited to the treatment. It is the ideal starting point for understanding what Dien Chan is.
The three versions hereFaceasit❜pro delivers results in both reflex zones AND fixed bqc·points. It allows you to study the reflex diagrams, access the detailed file of each bqc·point to understand the «why» behind each choice, and create your first independent treatment protocols.
This is the version for those who want to start practising on themselves.
The three versions hereFaceasit❜clinic offers all the features of the previous versions, plus the ability to fully personalise treatments: modify bqc·point formulas according to the patient's sensitivity, automatically exclude contraindicated bqc·points (pregnancy, blood pressure, etc.), keep a record of each treatment session, share the treatment chart with the patient, and add private notes.
It is the reference tool for professional Dien Chan practice.
The three versions hereThe ISMDC chose iPad to guarantee a reliable and consistent experience for all users. Unlike the Android market — fragmented across many manufacturers who cannot guarantee long-term compatibility with system updates — Apple offers solid cohesion between the tablet and its operating system.
Every application in the AppStore is reviewed by human teams. Faceasit is a serious educational and therapeutic tool: it required a professional platform of the highest standard.
The three versions hereThe simplest iPad model is more than enough to enjoy all the features of Faceasit. It is available for under £500 on the Apple website.
Even the iPadmini (which is more expensive) is compatible with all versions of the application.
A worthwhile investment that will serve you well beyond Dien Chan practice alone.
The three versions hereNo, the Chan❜beauté application is not distributed via the AppStore.
To offer you the best price without a distributor's commission, it is available directly on the school's website.
It also works on iPad.
Numerous presentation videos are available at videos.Faceasit.com.
You can also read the article «How to draw up a Dien Chan treatment plan» on the Dien Chan experts blog and access all three versions of the application directly from your iPad by searching for «multireflex».
Faceasit videos in actionThe Chan❜beauté interactive magazine (ChanBeauté digital) is far more than a simple application: it is a compendium of protocols, practical sheets and articles designed for natural beauty therapists and holistic practitioners.
It covers concrete situations such as wrinkles, scars, pigmentation, rosacea and neoplasms. It allows you to create personalised record sheets and follow precise treatments step by step — a tool for continuous training as much as daily inspiration.
More info on this Chan❜beauté appFaceasit is a powerful educational tool that allows you to study the reflex diagrams, consult the complete files of the 257 bqc·points on the Dien Chan map, and understand the concept of multireflexology.

Dien Chan uses handcrafted multireflex tools made from noble materials such as natural horn, mimosa wood, superior-quality brass and stainless steel.
These tools, with their yin and yang effects, stimulate blood and lymphatic microcirculation to revitalise the energy flow and restore the dynamic balance of the living body.
We reject plastic for both therapeutic and ecological reasons.
Yes. Students of the International School of Multireflexology - Dien Chan benefit from preferential conditions on multireflex tools during their training and for as long as their access to the Dien Chan International Club is active.

Full catalogue of Dien Chan toolsMultireflex tools are at the heart of Dien Chan and Chan❜beauté practice.
Acquiring them from the start of training allows you to become familiar with them alongside your studies and to consolidate your learning through practice.
In addition, students benefit from preferential conditions throughout the duration of their training, which reduces the cost.
Multireflex tools are precise instruments designed to adapt rigorously to the surfaces being treated — both face and body.
Made from mimosa wood or natural horn from traditional farming, they are respectful of the skin and the environment.
Their action falls into two complementary categories: yin stimulations (dispersing, cooling, hydrating) and yang stimulations (warming, concentrating, energising).
It is this precision that makes it possible to achieve relevant and in-depth results.
All authentic tools are in this catalogueMultireflex tools produce two types of complementary effects.
Yin stimulations are dispersing, cooling and hydrating: they are suited to states of agitation, heat or inflammation.
Yang stimulations warm, concentrate and energise: they are suited to states of fatigue, cold or lack of tone.
During training, you will learn to identify which effect to use according to each individual's sensations, for a truly personalised treatment.
Multireflex tools adapt to all surfaces being treated.
In Dien Chan practice, one generally begins by treating the affected body part directly with a multireflex tool of appropriate size, to identify the most relevant effect.
One then moves to the facial phase with a smaller multireflex tool, to stimulate the corresponding reflex zones.
This dual approach — bodily and facial — is one of the great strengths of the method.
