Laser Acupoint Therapy is a 45-minute, needle-free session in which a low-level laser is applied to specific points on the body while you rest. At Flourish TCM Clinic in Yaletown, Vancouver, it costs $170 and is performed by Amir Norouzi, DDS bio-current and TuiNa therapist.
Adults who want a quiet, point-based wellness session for areas that feel tight, stiff or tired, such as the lower back, neck, shoulders or knees, and anyone who'd like a TCM-inspired session without needles. It's a comfort and relaxation service and works alongside, not instead of, the care you get from your doctor or physiotherapist.
TCM describes specific points along the meridians (the body's energy channels) as places where the flow of Qi and blood can be influenced.
Traditionally these points are pressed or massaged. In this session, low-level laser light is used on the points instead.
Low-level laser, also called cold laser or photobiomodulation, uses low-intensity red and near-infrared light that doesn't heat, cut or mark the skin.
Research on photobiomodulation is ongoing and results vary from use to use, so we offer it as a comfort and relaxation session, not as a medical treatment.
Nothing special. Drink water and carry on with your day; there's no downtime.
Many people book a short weekly series and then decide with Amir whether to continue. You're never committed to a fixed number upfront.
Prices are in CAD. A series is paid upfront and used session by session.

Acupoints are specific points on the body, mostly along the meridians, that are stimulated with needles, finger pressure or low-level laser.
Low-level laser therapy (photobiomodulation) uses low-intensity light that doesn't heat or cut tissue, including on acupoints.
Low-level laser, also called photobiomodulation, uses low-intensity light that doesn't heat or cut the skin. In TCM practice it's used to stimulate acupoints without needles.

Most people describe feeling little or nothing, sometimes a mild warmth where the laser rests. Tell Amir if anything feels uncomfortable.
No. Light is held on the skin's surface; nothing pierces the skin.
The light must never be directed into the eyes, so you wear protective eyewear for the whole session.
TuiNa is a hands-on massage with bio-current. This session uses low-level laser on points while you rest. The DDS + Laser Acupoint Therapy session combines both.
