Most lasers used in acupuncture are known as low-level lasers or "cold lasers" (because they do not produce heat). These are not the same as lasers used for laser surgery, in which "hot lasers" are used like a scalpel to burn or cut. Studies show that low-level lasers can help regenerate cells, decrease pain, reduce inflammation, improve circulation and stimulate hair growth, to name a few.
Recent studies of laser acupuncture have included advanced brain imaging, as well as several other modern protocols for measuring various physiological effects on the body. These studies show that laser acupuncture has physiological effects, not only locally, but also in the brain, like needle acupuncture. Laser on the urinary bladder 67, for example, shows measurable effects in the brain. These effects were only detected when the laser was turned on. When the laser was off, no effect was detected.
Multiple published studies have shown the good effects of laser acupuncture for the following conditions: hiccups, enuresis, weight loss, postoperative nausea and vomiting, pain control, surgical anesthesia, dental anesthesia, canal syndrome carpal pain, dry eye and stroke-related paralysis. It is obvious that as more studies are carried out, new information will be discovered.

In my clinic, the most important rule is that acupuncture should never produce uncomfortable sensations. Everything must be within my patients’ comfortable zone.
Absolutely, the highest quality needles used. As soon as I remove them, they go into special containers for biomedical waste.
Yes, I have been a member of the Order of Acupuncturists of Quebec since 2008.
Quite difficult to answer this question. The best answer was given by one of my teachers: “As little as possible, as much as necessary”. In practice this can range from 4 to 50 needles per treatment.
Again, this will depend on my clinical impression and the treatment protocol chosen.
My ultimate goal is to have a positive result after the first treatment. In 70 to 80% of my treatments, this is the case. However, there are some situations where I have to try different approaches to find the right key
I always ask my patients to give me 4-5 treatments to see if positive results will be produced. If after 4 to 5 treatments my patients feel better, we might opt for 2 to 3 additional treatments, depending on the severity of the symptoms.
