What should I wear to my first acupuncture treatment?

If you are visiting me for the first time it may be difficult to know what to expect and what to wear.

Please dress in comfortable clothes. I also recommend loose fitting clothes. It is ideal if access to both the arms and legs is easy, so anything that can roll above the elbows and knees. I also recommend a loose waistband. I may need to pull your top up to uncover your abdomen, or lower the waistband of your trousers.

If you are unable to wear loose clothes you can always bring something to change into. If you are required or would prefer to remove items of clothing you will have the privacy to do so and blankets and towels will be provided at all times.

During treatments I want you to feel comfortable, relaxed and most importantly safe,

Jewellery and piercings do not need to be removed. During the treatment it is best to remove your watch or any large bracelets.

If you are coming for Facial Acupuncture we recommend not wearing make-up for this treatment, if you are unable to remove makeup before your appointment it will be removed as part of your treatment.

Can you see a theme emerging? I just want you to feel safe and comfortable when I am treating you. Having an acupuncture treatment is a considered choice, and I am very pleased that you have made that decision. Please feel free to get in touch or comment on any other acupuncture treatment conundrums you may have and I will do my best to ponder, answer, update and expand this list. Thank you for reading and here’s to your rejuvenation.

I look forward to meeting you.
