While planning this treatment method, 14 meridians in the body are used. These meridians and even each acupuncture point in the meridians have different functional areas and states. The depth of these points may vary according to the parts of the body (2mm-4cm). The application is performed by inserting special needles into the points determined according to the planned treatment and to the appropriate depth at these points. Sterile, disposable and very fine needles are used during the treatment. After a while after the needle is inserted, there may be a slight feeling of warmth in the treated areas. Special stimulation techniques are used to see certain effects and get the best results. In this case, the needles used can be heated a little more, stimulated with current or moved up and down. Needles stay in the body for 20-30 minutes.
