What is acupuncture?

The art and science of acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of medicine in the world, dating back more than five thousand years. Although its recorded use has been predominantly limited to Asian countries, during the last century acupuncture has gained enormous acceptance in every corner of the globe. Through the insertion of extremely fine needles into the skin, acupuncture gently encourages the restoration of health and well-being. Not only is acupuncture virtually painless, it is also relaxing, enjoyable, safe, and effective in treating practically every ailment.

How can inserting needles into the skin improve health?

During embryonic development, primary cells divide to form three distinct layers--the ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm--that differentiate to form the entire body. The ectoderm differentiates to form the nervous system and superficial layers of the body, the endoderm the organs, and the mesoderm the circulatory and musculoskeletal systems. Because the entire body originates from the division of these primary cells, there is an intimate relationship between the skin and internal organs.

How does implant acupuncture work?

We use special instruments to implant the dissolvable protein suture threads into the certain body acupuncture points. The dissolvable protein suture threads will stimulate the acupuncture points 24 hours a day 7 days a week. After 2-4 weeks, they will be absorbed in the human body naturally. During this process, the body can remove the toxins and build up energy at the same time. It has a remarkable result.

Are implant acupuncture needles safe?

Yes they are. Virtually all acupuncturists in developed parts of the world use single-use, disposable acupuncture needles. Each stainless steel needle is individually packaged and sealed by the manufacturer using sterile conditions and is only opened by the practitioner just prior to use. The risk of needle contamination and subsequent infection is essentially nonexistent.

Does implant acupuncture hurt?

You may be surprised to learn that acupuncture is virtually painless. The needles are extremely fine and tapered at the tip, allowing them to slide smoothly into the skin. Depending on the gauge, as many as six acupuncture needles can fit inside the hollowed shaft of a hypodermic needle. There are several possible needle sensations--radiation, numbness, heaviness, distension, pulsation and warmth--that people experience during a treatment, indicating the movement of energy.
