Acupuncture and Weight Loss

During the procedure a trained practitioner will use thin stainless steel needles under sterile conditions. The needles are sometimes combined with lasers or electrical stimulation.  Other times the practitioner will manipulate the needles manually to produce the desired results.  The needles are then left in place for up to 30 minutes while the client relaxes in the practitioner’s office.

Clients often report feeling heat, tingling and perhaps some numbness in the area where the needles are inserted. Other common side effects are dizziness, headaches and nausea.  These side effects are minimal compared to the potential side effects of using other drug related diet supplements to help with appetite suppression and boost metabolism.
