What to Expect
Your journey begins with a comprehensive TCM consultation where our practitioners assess your constitution, medical history, and weight loss goals. We examine your tongue, check your pulse, and discuss your lifestyle patterns to create a personalized treatment plan. During your first acupuncture session, we place hair-thin needles at specific points to begin regulating your metabolism and appetite. Each treatment lasts 45-60 minutes and includes relaxation time for optimal therapeutic effect. We typically recommend twice-weekly sessions for the first month, then weekly maintenance treatments. Between sessions, you'll receive herbal supplements and dietary guidance based on TCM principles. Progress is monitored through regular weigh-ins and symptom assessments, with treatment plans adjusted as needed to ensure continued success.

Insurance & Pricing

First-Time Patient Tips
Prepare for your first visit by avoiding large meals 2 hours before treatment and wearing loose, comfortable clothing. Bring a list of current medications and supplements, as some may interact with Chinese herbs. Plan to arrive 15 minutes early for paperwork and consultation. During treatment, you'll lie comfortably while needles remain in place for 20-30 minutes. Most patients find acupuncture deeply relaxing, and some fall asleep during sessions. After treatment, drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol for 24 hours. You may feel energized or slightly tired following your first few sessions as your body adjusts. Keep a food and mood diary to track changes in appetite and cravings. Follow any dietary recommendations provided, and take herbal supplements as directed. Contact us immediately if you experience any concerning symptoms.
