Does Acupuncture Hurt?
No. A very gentle needling technique is used. The sensation experienced from an acupuncture needle is nothing like that of a hypodermic needle. In fact, acupuncture needles are 1/10 the thickness of a hypodermic needle. These tiny instruments are individually packaged at the manufactures and, of course, completely sterile. Used only once, they are discarded after each treatment.
How Long Is A Treatment?
An acupuncture treatment will last between 45-60 minutes, depending on the type of treatment.
Cosmetic and Cellulite Acupuncture treatments are 60 minutes per session.
How Many Treatments Are Required?
Traditional Acupuncture:
Individual treatment plans are set up at the initial visit. Depending on the complaint, the recommended course of treatment will usually range anywhere from three to ten weeks, with sessions to be completed at least once a week.
Cosmetic and Cellulite Acupuncture:
Treatments follow an initial course of treatment anywhere from six to twelve weeks, and these sessions are to be completed at least once a week.
