PREVENTION

Acupuncture is not only a curative treatment but can also be used to prevent various ailments. It regulates physiological functions and is particularly beneficial during great stress, seasonal changes, or when the body shows signs of fragility. Acupuncture can prevent mood swings, flu, colds, sleep disturbances, repeated infections, headaches, lower back pain, and other related conditions. It is important to note that the treatment is most effective when the condition is relatively recent.

STRENGTHENING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM AND LONG-TERM ACTION

You can schedule regular acupuncture visits to prevent illness by identifying imbalances, strengthening the immune system, and correcting them before they become serious.

Acu-lifting - Aesthetic acupuncture for facial treatments

Did you know that acupuncture can help slow the signs of aging?

The treatment helps to tone the facial muscles, tighten the epidermis and reduce wrinkles. The techniques used are gentle and minimally invasive. Fine needles are placed on the face to stimulate tissue regeneration and natural collagen production, drain toxins, and invigorate facial muscles.

A single treatment typically lasts 60 minutes, but the number of sessions required depends on the individual's overall health and facial condition. In general, you can expect improvement from the very first treatment.
