go on a real diet, you lazy fattie!
Its not really painful at all. Mostly you don't feel the needles at all. Sometimes like mosquito bite. SOmetimes a bit more painful. Usually you barely feel them at all. I don't know if it helps with weigt loss. Probably.
experience, opinion
Acupuncture is really not painful. There might be some discomfort in the placement of some needles, but it usually goes away. As a practicing acupuncturist, I can tell you that acupuncture is definitely useful in treating a wide variety of medical conditions including weight loss.
I like it. I go once a week for about 30 minutes. It doesnt hurt really. There are few times when they need to put the little needle a little deeper into your skin but nothing that is a great deal of pain. For the most part you cant feel anything. Maybe just a little pinch. Then they turn out the light and you lay there for 20 minutes under a warm lamp. Its very relaxing. I go for tention headaches Ive been getting and next they are going to work on my weight. I heard it works...how? I have no idea but Im crossing my fingers!
