FAQ

To get the most out of your treatment, arrive well-hydrated and have a light meal or snack beforehand—acupuncture is best received when the body is nourished. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing if possible, and allow yourself time to relax before and after your session. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and intense physical activity immediately before your appointment. Most importantly, come with an open mind and a willingness to tune in—you’re giving your body the space it needs to heal.

Acupuncture is a gentle and deeply relaxing experience. You may feel a slight sensation as the ultra-fine needles are inserted, followed by sensations such as warmth, tingling, heaviness, or a gentle pulsing—you may feel nothing at all. Most patients find the treatment calming and often drift into a meditative or restful state during the session. Every body is different, and your experience will be uniquely your own.

The number of treatments depends on your condition, overall health, and wellness goals. While some patients notice changes early on, lasting relief typically develops over a series of consistent treatments. Acupuncture works cumulatively—each session builds on the last—making regular care especially important for chronic or complex conditions. During your initial visit, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan to support your healing journey.

Cosmetic acupuncture offers a natural, gradual approach to facial rejuvenation. Most patients begin with a series of 10 treatments, typically scheduled 1–2 times per week. Depending on your skin and goals, additional sessions may be recommended. Once desired results are achieved, monthly maintenance treatments help sustain your glow and support long-term results. Because this method works with the body’s natural healing processes, improvements in tone, texture, and radiance are subtle, cumulative, and lasting. Each session also supports internal balance to enhance both outer beauty and overall well-being.

Microneedling stimulates collagen production and skin renewal by creating precise microchannels in the skin. Most patients notice a brighter, smoother complexion within the first week. A series of 6 to 12 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart, is typically recommended for optimal results, depending on your skin goals. Mild redness or sensitivity is normal for 24–72 hours. To support healing, avoid sweating for 24 hours and direct sun exposure for at least 4 days. Sun protection is essential during this time. As your skin rebuilds naturally, you'll see continued improvement in texture, tone, and radiance.

Nanoneedling is a gentle, non-invasive facial treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to stimulate skin renewal without breaking the skin’s surface. Because there is no puncturing, there is no downtime—making it ideal for frequent treatments, up to three times per week. Most patients notice improved skin texture, hydration, and radiance after just a few sessions. Results build gradually with consistent treatments, helping to smooth fine lines, enhance glow, and support overall skin health.
