I use fine needles and gentle techniques. Usually there is no pain, but certainly there is a sensation de Qi. Patients describe it as tingling, warm, pulsating or a heavy feeling.

Treatments generally range from 45-60 minutes and depend on the condition being treated and the modalities used during the treatment.

A standard course for most conditions will be 1-2 treatments per week for the first month (4-8 treatments) and then we will reassess the frequency of treatment from there based on how you are doing.

Acupuncture does not only work for one disease in particular. The holistic approach is a special feature of Eastern versus Western medicine. So a person is considered as a whole and all diseases are the result of an imbalance.

Depending from thу treatment there could be 4-10 on general acupuncture and more on facial or weight loss acupuncture sessions.

It is often necessary to carry out 3-5 sessions in order to achieve a significant and lasting effect, but the first positive effects of acupuncture may appear immediately after the first session.

In a very rare case, small bruises can appear as we pierce the skin. In addition, there may be drowsiness and relaxation after the procedure. I do not recommend my patients to schedule sessions right before an important event.

I recommend not to plan too much right after the treatment. Give yourself time to relax and enjoy the outcome.

I also do massage, guasha massage, moxa and cupping.

We are all different, and the treatment has been performed individually. Unfortunately, a 100% cure may not come, as in Western medicine, sometimes medications do not help, and sometimes acupuncture does not work. With acupuncture, we create conditions for self-healing and often it takes time. By following my recommendations, the patient prolongs and enhances the effect of acupuncture even if they didn’t feel it right after, and we agree on an additional course of acupuncture. Often, by this time, there are only little remains of the original problem.
