“Well, modern day acupuncture uses lasers, they are pain-free and it cuts the procedure time in half," says Dr. Susana Mendez.

She says the laser triggers the body's own healing response and restores its natural balance

Dr. Susana Mendez, Acupuncturist says, "By stimulating this point, the patients feel more calm more relaxed and in tune with themselves."
