What to Expect
After making an in-depth assessment of your condition, very fine, single-use, sterile needles are inserted through the skin at specific points on the body. Sensations vary from person to person, some reporting a tiny pinch while others feel virtually nothing at all.
Repeat treatments may or may not be necessary and depend on the response of the individual. Typically, a course of 5 to 10 treatments administered once weekly can achieve the energy balance necessary to feel the benefits. Some conditions need only 1 or 2 sessions.
