Safety First: How Rejuvenate Spa Protects You
Safety isn’t an afterthought. It’s the foundation of every service we offer.
Licensed Professionals & Rigorous Training
All of our acupuncturists at Rejuvenate Spa hold:
- NCCAOM certification (National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine)
- State licensure in Maryland
- Ongoing education in the latest acupuncture protocols
That training ensures they know not just where to place needles, but why and how they work with your anatomy.
Sterile, Single-Use Needles
The risk of infection is practically zero when you use disposable, pre-sterilized needles. We open each needle packet in front of you and dispose of used needles in hospital-grade sharps containers.
Clean, Calming Environment
Our spa isn’t just a pretty face. We adhere to strict sanitation protocols:
- Disinfected treatment rooms between appointments
- Fresh linens for every client
- Air purification systems to maintain crisp, clean air
Potential Risks & Side Effects
Let’s get real: no treatment is 100% risk-free. But with proper care, side effects are minor and short-lived.
Common Minor Effects
- Slight soreness at needle sites
- Minor bruising or pinpoint bleeding
- Mild lightheadedness in sensitive individuals
These symptoms typically resolve within 24 hours.
Who Should Take Extra Caution?
Most people can safely enjoy our Holistic Acupuncture Services, but certain conditions warrant a chat with your GP first:
- Bleeding disorders (e.g., hemophilia) or blood-thinning medication
- Pregnancy (we offer special prenatal acupuncture plans, but only after medical clearance)
- Pacemakers (avoid electroacupuncture, which we do not use at Rejuvenate)
Your acupuncturist will review your health history during the initial consultation to tailor the session to your needs.
What to Expect During Your Session
1. Pre-Treatment Consultation
We start with a 10–15 minute discussion:
- Your medical history
- Current concerns (e.g., back pain, migraines, general stress)
- Lifestyle and diet habits
This helps us design a truly holistic plan.
2. Needle Insertion & Relaxation
You’ll lie comfortably on our heated table while your practitioner places 8–20 needles into key points. Most clients feel:
- A slight pinch during insertion
- A gentle tingling or warmth as needles settle
Then you relax for 20–30 minutes in a serene, softly lit room with soothing music.
3. Post-Treatment Guidance
After we remove the needles, your practitioner will:
- Offer hydration tips
- Suggest gentle stretches or exercises
- Advise on diet and sleep habits to boost results
These simple steps help your body integrate the treatment’s benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does acupuncture hurt?
Most clients say they feel little to no discomfort. The needles are paper-thin. At worst, you might feel a tiny pinch or a brief tingle.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends. Acute pain may ease after 2–4 sessions; chronic issues often benefit from a 6–8 week plan. We recommend an initial block of treatments, then reassess.
Can I combine acupuncture with other spa services?
Absolutely. Many clients book acupuncture plus massage or a rejuvenating facial on the same day. Ask about our Wellness Trio package.
Is acupuncture safe for children?
Yes. We offer gentle pediatric acupuncture techniques for kids over age 7, always with a guardian present.
