FAQ's- Acupuncture

What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a holistic treatment based on traditional Chinese medicine that involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body. It helps balance the body’s energy (Qi) and promotes natural healing by improving circulation and stimulating the nervous system.

What conditions can acupuncture treat?
Our acupuncturist specializes in:
Aesthetics: Enhancing skin tone, elasticity, and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Pain Management: Treating chronic pain, migraines, joint discomfort, and tension.
Mental Health: Reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, and improving overall emotional balance.
Acupuncture is also effective for insomnia, digestive issues, and boosting overall wellness.

Does acupuncture hurt?
Most people find acupuncture to be a relaxing and comfortable experience. The needles are very fine, and any sensation is typically mild, such as a slight pinch or a tingling feeling. Many clients even fall asleep during treatment!

How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your specific concerns and goals. Many clients see noticeable results after 5-6 treatments, but for lasting benefits, a series of sessions or ongoing maintenance may be recommended.
