Most patients feel little to no pain. The needles used are incredibly fine about the width of a human hair. You may feel a brief pinch or dull sensation upon insertion, followed by a deep sense of relaxation. Many patients fall asleep during treatment.

It depends on your condition and goals. Acute issues often resolve in 3–6 visits. Chronic conditions may require a series of 8–12 sessions for lasting improvement. Your practitioner will create a personalized plan during your first visit.

Most major health insurance plans cover acupuncture when performed by a licensed practitioner. We are in-network with several carriers and can verify your benefits before your first appointment. We also bill motor vehicle (PIP) and workers' compensation claims.

Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Eat a light meal 1–2 hours before your session. Avoid alcohol or strenuous exercise immediately before treatment. Bring your insurance card and any relevant medical records. Arrive 10 minutes early to complete intake forms. We'll take care of the rest.

Absolutely. Many patients begin with medical acupuncture for pain or stress relief, then add cosmetic acupuncture for skin rejuvenation. Your practitioner can discuss how to layer treatments for maximum benefit.
