Q&A
- Should I bring my gown to the clinic to change my clothes?
- No. We provide clean, safe, and comfortable treatment wear for you here at our clinic.
- How many times should I visit the clinic a week?
- It depends on your specific condition, symptoms, and individual situation. We typically recommend receiving treatment once or twice a week for the initial three to four weeks, which often brings noticeable relief. After this period, from the fifth week onwards, you can gradually reduce the frequency.
※If it's difficult for you to visit due to time constraints or travel challenges, we can guide you on how to perform self-care at home.
- What kind of needles do you use?
- We use sterile, disposable needles with a diameter of 0.18mm. This ensures there is absolutely no risk of infection. Our needles are incredibly fine, comparable to the thickness of a human hair or just slightly thicker. Unlike injection needles, acupuncture needles are designed to be virtually painless upon insertion. To maintain the highest standards of hygiene, all treatment-related equipment in our clinic is thoroughly disinfected with alcohol.
- Do you do needleless acupuncture treatment?
- Yes, we offer needleless acupuncture options. Even just gently placing the tip of a special tool on the skin's surface at an acupuncture point can be effective. Many of our patients prefer this style. Please let us know if you are afraid of needles or are very sensitive to pain, and we'd be happy to discuss this option with you..
- Could I be allergic to acupuncture treatment?
- Acupuncture treatment itself does not typically cause allergic reactions. We carefully adjust the stimulation to suit your specific condition, skin sensitivity, and symptoms, so please don't worry. Our experienced acupuncturists will thoroughly assess your needs to provide the most appropriate and effective stimulation. You will likely notice a positive therapeutic effect after your treatment, regardless of the treatable symptoms you may have. For those who are nervous, highly sensitive to pain, or very young, our clinic also offers Teishin (needleless acupuncture) treatments to address any concerns about the process.
- Is Moxibustion treatment very hot?
- While moxibustion produces warmth, the heat will be carefully maintained at an appropriate and comfortable temperature by your acupuncturist. They will continually assess your skin sensitivity and symptoms throughout the treatment. As there are different types of moxibustion, we will select the most suitable method for you based on your specific condition and symptoms.
