You’ll experience targeted needle placement based on prior treatments, a brief health check-in, 20 to 40 minutes of needle retention, and guidance on self-care. Many feel relaxation or mild sensations as the practitioner fine-tunes points.

Wear loose, comfortable clothing and eat a light meal beforehand. Bring notes about symptoms or changes since your last visit. Avoid alcohol, intense exercise, or heavy stimulants before your appointment for best results.
