Details

Complementary Satori treatments are designed as a precise extension of classical acupuncture and target different layers of regeneration. The heat of moxibustion, derived from burning artemisia, penetrates the meridians, dispels the “coldness” in the joints, revives circulation and strongly supports immunity. Cupping, on the other hand, creates a gentle vacuum that releases fascia, accelerates detoxification and releases muscle tension after stress or demanding training, restoring the body to ease of movement.

Microneedling or microfrequency, as appropriate, uses sterile micro-needles or almost imperceptible low-voltage currents to stimulate natural collagen production, harmonize the nervous system, reduce inflammation and promote deep tissue renewal, restoring a firm, fresh glow to the face without long-term recovery. LED therapy rounds out the approach with specific wavelengths of light that activate mitochondria, alleviate acne and redness, and accelerate the healing of the surface layers of the skin – all without heat or discomfort. Sound therapy with gentle vibrations of selected tones further relaxes the nervous system and deepens the overall effect of the treatment.

Depending on the goal, treatments can be combined within one acupuncture session or can be provided individually, depending on your needs.

COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES

MOXIBUSTION

The warmth of mugwort penetrates the meridians, disperses “cold” from the joints, boosts circulation, and strengthens immunity.

CUPPING

A gentle vacuum releases the fascia, accelerates detoxification, and eases muscle tension, restoring freedom of movement.

MICRONEEDLING / MICROCURRENT

Depending on treatment goals, we use either micro-needles or delicate micro-currents; both methods stimulate collagen, reduce inflammation, and speed deep-tissue regeneration.

LED THERAPY

Specific wavelengths of cool light activate mitochondria, calm acne and redness, and accelerate skin healing—without heat or discomfort.

SOUND THERAPY

Therapeutic vibrations at carefully chosen frequencies relax the nervous system, lower stress levels, and deepen the overall treatment effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wondering how moxibustion, cupping, microneedling, micro-current, or LED therapy could help you? Below you’ll find brief answers to the questions we hear most often—covering session length, what the treatments feel like, and the results you can expect. If you need any further clarification, we’re here to help.

WHICH TREATMENT IS BEST FOR MY ISSUE (PAIN, STRESS, SKIN)?

We start with a brief consultation. Pain and stiffness are usually addressed with cupping and micro-current, stress with moxibustion and LED, while skin concerns respond well to microneedling combined with LED. Your therapist will tailor the plan to your goals.

DO Moxibustion, Cupping, or Microneedling HURT, AND WILL THEY LEAVE SCARS?

Moxibustion and microneedling create only warmth or a light prickling sensation, with no permanent scarring. Cupping often leaves circular red-purple marks—temporary bruises that aren’t painful and typically fade within 3–7 days, depending on vacuum strength and circulation. If you prefer minimal marks, we can adjust the technique or use a gentler “gliding” cupping method.

HOW LONG IS A SESSION, AND HOW MANY VISITS WILL I NEED TO SEE RESULTS?

Session length averages 20–60 minutes, and the number of visits is set jointly with your therapist, based on your goals, health status, and any combination with acupuncture. Some improvement is felt after the very first appointment; for longer-lasting results, we create a personalized protocol spanning several sessions.

Do I need to prepare in any special way or watch for anything after the treatment?

Wear comfortable clothing and avoid a heavy meal immediately beforehand. After the session we usually recommend drinking extra water; for microneedling and LED therapy, temporarily avoid intense workouts and direct sun exposure. Your therapist will give you detailed, treatment-specific guidelines tailored to your session or combination of sessions.

Can I combine several therapies in the same visit, and how much does it cost?

Yes—most often we combine up to two techniques within one session. Pricing follows our official price list and is agreed upon before the therapy begins.

How much time should pass between two treatments?

Intervals are set individually: most specialist therapies can be done once or twice a week, but this depends on your goals, overall load, and how your body responds after the first visit. Your therapist will suggest an optimal rhythm so tissues have enough time to regenerate and results last longer.

I’m not sure which treatment to choose—how is the decision made?

Before your first session, we schedule a consultation to discuss symptoms, goals, and any contraindications. The therapist then decides which technique—or combination—best suits your health status, recovery pace, and personal preferences. If your needs change during the process, the plan is adjusted from visit to visit, ensuring you always receive the optimal treatment for you.
