How long the marks last depends on the depth of their color after the therapy. If the marks are a darker color, they may take one week to ten days to fade. Most cupping marks fade within a week.

Your initial session can take 55-75 minutes. All follow ups are 40-55 minutes and may include acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, electro-acupuncture, and suggestions for herbal or natural remedies.

It is important to listen to your body after a treatment. Some days people leave energized, and other days, people leave feeling like they need to rest. It is important to avoid anything too rigorous or over stimulating to the nervous system so that the changes can set in without interruption.

We do not bill insurance directly. If your insurance does cover acupuncture, we can provide a coded receipt that you can submit to your insurance provider.
