Acupuncture entails the placing of very thin needles into the body and face. A session lasts 20 to 30 minutes normally. The treatments take place twice a week for a duration of three to 6 weeks, depending on the severity of each case. Acupuncture has a cumulative effect and therefore the results are usually evaluated after 4 to 6 sessions.
Auricular acupuncture can also be applied to bring about impressive results. In recent years auricular acupuncture has received international recognition and is taught in many countries. The World Health Organization recognizes it as a therapeutic system with a wide range of applications, good results, safety and ease of implementation.
