Weight Loss Management Program
Acupuncture Associates of Long Island Developed a weight loss system consisting of TWO options to fit your own personal needs, lifestyle, and budget. Whether it is 10, 20, or 50 plus pounds, we will work with you to help you meet your optimal goals!
Option One: Private Full Body Acupuncture
The beauty of Acupuncture is that each treatment is catered to the needs of the individual patient. Acupuncture points on the body will be chosen for the overall well-being with the objection of increasing circulation of the blood and Qi (stimulating the metabolism) and calming the nervous system.
These treatments can include a combination of Auricular (ear) and body acupuncture, Cupping (to help release toxic build up and increase metabolism), electro-stimulation (to increase endorphin release and increase metabolism), abdominal massage, and ear seeds to leave on between treatments. Generally, treatments are scheduled once or twice a week for 8 to 12 weeks or until the goal of weight-loss has been reached.
Herbal, supplements, breathing exercises, food and lifestyle recommendations are included. An intensive intake and detailed evaluation is required for the first time. Initial treatment usually lasts approximately 1-½ hours with consecutive treatments lasting 1 hour.
Monday-Saturday: By appointment.
Option Two: Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture Abdominal Protocol
The Mei Zen abdominal protocol is a full body acupuncture treatment aimed at tightening and toning the abdominal muscles while balancing the body to benefit digestion, and increase metabolism. Acupuncture points are carefully chosen for balancing the body according to the patient’s constitution. Then, tiny needles are placed under the skins surface, in a precise configuration on specific acupuncture points on the abdomen. Weakened collagen allows the skin to stretch, and sag. These tiny needles promote collagen and elastin production providing structure to the skin and to the deeper supportive connective tissue below the skin; therefore creating smoother skin, firmer and toner abdominal muscles. The result is improved digestion, more energy, loss of weight and inches around the waist.
This is a 12-week program. For the 1st 6 weeks, you will receive two treatments each week lasting 60-90 minutes. Over the next 6 weeks, you will receive one treatment each week lasting 60-90 minutes.
Herbal, supplements, breathing exercises, food and lifestyle recommendations are included. An intensive intake and detailed evaluation is required for the first time. Initial treatment usually lasts approximately 1-½ hours with consecutive treatments lasting 1 hour.
We recommend to first start with a body balancing treatment and then proceed with the Mei Zen protocol for the next consecutive 12 weeks. A one-month follow up treatment is recommended. Herbal, supplements, breathing exercises, food and lifestyle recommendations are included.
Monday- Saturday: By appointment.
