Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning. Inserting needles and applying heat or electrical stimulation at very precise acupuncture points does this. The acupuncture needles unblock the obstructions at the dams, and reestablish the regular flow through the meridians. Acupuncture treatments can therefore help the body's internal organs to correct imbalances in their digestion, absorption, and energy production activities. Acupuncture is a system that can influence three areas of health care promotion of health and well-being, prevention of illness, and treatment of various medical conditions. Treatment times vary according to the nature of the condition and the chronicity.

• How many treatments will I need? The protocol starts with 2 treatments a week for 2 weeks, then 1 time a week for 4 weeks. The number of treatments after varies according to the condition of the skin and collagen on the face and the general overall condition and health and diet of the patient.
• Are there any "dos and don'ts" for me on the day of a treatment? Yes. To enhance the value of a treatment, the following guidelines are important:
  • Do not eat an unusually large meal immediately before or after your treatment.
  • Do not consume alcoholic beverages within 6 hours before or after the treatment.
  • Plan your activities so that after the treatment you can get some rest, or at least not have to be working at top performance. This is especially important for the first few visits.
