Weekday Clinic:
Initial Consultation (consultation only – no treatment) for acupuncture is the process of assessing a patient’s health status and determining whether acupuncture is an appropriate treatment option for their condition.
The consultation is performed by a licensed acupuncturist and includes a comprehensive review of the patient’s medical history and a discussion of the patient’s symptoms and concerns.
Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body known as acupuncture points. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, these points lie along energy channels or meridians through which our vital energy or “Qi” flows. By stimulating these points with needles, acupuncture can help redirect the flow of energy, alleviate pain, and promote healing.
An initial acupuncture treatment usually begins with an evaluation of the patient’s health history and a physical examination. The acupuncturist will then identify specific acupuncture points on the patient’s body to address their individual needs.

In contrast to an inital treatment, a general acupuncture treatment typically involves the actual application of the treatment plan that was established during the initial session. The acupuncturist inserts the needles into the specific points identified in the treatment plan, and the focus is on regulating the flow of energy throughout the body to alleviate pain, improve organ function, and promote overall health and wellbeing.

Acupuncture with cupping is a combination therapy that involves the use of both acupuncture and cupping techniques. Cupping is a form of therapy that involves placing glass or plastic cups on the skin and creating a vacuum to suction the skin and underlying tissue into the cup. This technique is used to relieve tension, improve circulation, and promote healing. The suction created by cupping can result in temporary discoloration or bruising on the skin, which is a normal and expected response. Patients may feel a sensation of pressure or pulling during the treatment, but it is generally not painful.

Weekend Clinic:
The painless and non-surgical procedure known as Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, or Cosmetic Acupuncture, effectively diminishes signs of aging by inserting hair-thin acupuncture needles in specific locations on the face, ears, neck, hands, and feet according to Traditional Eastern Medicine principles. These disposable needles are strategically placed in energy channels, or meridians, that either begin or end on the face or work to alter the body’s energy flow. A practitioner certified in Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is equipped to address both the outward signs of aging on the face and the underlying factors that contribute to the aging process.

Facial acupuncture MTS (Micro-needle Therapy System) is a cosmetic treatment that involves the use of tiny needles stimulate the skin of the face. The needles used in MTS are much smaller than those used in traditional acupuncture, and they are inserted at a shallower depth, typically just below the surface of the skin which is dermis area.
The purpose of facial acupuncture MTS is to stimulate collagen production in the skin, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture and tone, and promote overall skin health. The needles used in facial acupuncture MTS are typically made of high-quality, sterile stainless steel and are designed to be painless and non-invasive.
Facial acupuncture MTS is generally considered safe and effective, and many patients report noticeable improvements in their skin tone, texture, and overall appearance after just a few sessions. However, as with any cosmetic treatment, results may vary, and patients should consult with a licensed acupuncturist to determine whether facial acupuncture MTS is an appropriate treatment option for their individual needs and concerns.

For thousands of years, acupuncture has been a well-established therapy in the Far East. The underlying principle is that energy lines or meridians run throughout the body, carrying our energy flow or “Qi.” When there is an impairment in the Qi flow, it can lead to imbalance and illness. By inserting thin needles into specific points along the meridians, the energy can be redirected to restore the body’s balance and resolve the illness.
In the Western perspective, acupuncture is believed to function by stimulating the release of neurotransmitters and hormones from the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). These chemicals help to relieve pain, boost the immune system, and regulate various body functions.

Advanced acupuncture refers to the use of specialized techniques and approaches in acupuncture treatments beyond the basic principles and standard methods of traditional acupuncture. It may involve combining acupuncture with other modalities such as electro-acupuncture to achieve better results.
Advanced acupuncture techniques can be used to address complex and chronic health conditions, such as autoimmune disorders, infertility, chronic pain, and mental health conditions. Practitioners of advanced acupuncture may use specialized tools, such as electro-stimulator, cupping, massage gun to target specific areas of the body or acupuncture points.

[This treatment is only cupping without acupuncture]
Cupping is a therapy that involves placing cups made of glass, bamboo, or silicone on the skin, creating a vacuum to stimulate blood flow and promote healing. The cups are typically left in place for several minutes, and then removed.
During the therapy, a practitioner uses a flame to create suction inside the cups, which are then placed on the skin. The vacuum created by the cups draws blood to the surface of the skin, stimulating the circulatory and lymphatic systems, which can help to alleviate pain and inflammation, boost immune function, and promote relaxation.
Cupping is often used to treat a wide range of conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, respiratory problems, digestive disorders, and stress-related conditions. It is generally considered safe and is often used in combination with other TCM therapies, such as acupuncture and herbal medicine. However, cupping is not recommended for individuals with certain medical conditions or during pregnancy, and should only be performed by a qualified practitioner.

An initial consultation for natural herbal medicine typically involves an in-depth discussion between the patient and the practitioner to understand the patient’s health concerns, medical history, lifestyle, and any current medications or supplements they may be taking. The consultation may take up to an hour or more to allow the practitioner to gather sufficient information and develop a comprehensive treatment plan.
Chinese traditional herbal medicine granular type refers to a type of herbal medicine that is made by extracting active compounds from herbs and then drying and processing them into a fine granular form. This type of herbal medicine is often used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is favored by many patients due to its convenience and ease of use.
The granules are typically made by extracting the active ingredients from raw herbs using a combination of water and alcohol, and then processing the resulting liquid to create a concentrated extract. This extract is then dried and processed into a granular form that can be easily dissolved in water or other liquids.
