iThe TCM view
Points associated with fluid movement and the Spleen system are treated with needles and laser.
Cupping then moves stagnation in the tissues.

Two ways to see it
How it works
iiThe modern view
This combines acupuncture's effects on circulation and tissue with cupping's local suction.
Research on this combination for swelling is limited, so it's offered as TCM care, not as a medical lymphoedema treatment.

Low-Level Laser
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. At Flourish TCM Clinic we use the BioFlex system in Laser Acupoint Therapy, the Anti-Wrinkle Laser Facial and the Lymphatic Anti-Wrinkle Facial.

Still unsure? Call 778-654-6693 or message us on WhatsApp. We reply the same day during opening hours.
Is this the same as the lymphatic drainage massage?
No. This uses acupuncture and cupping; the massage is hands-on with the DDS bio-current system, with no cupping or laser, and is currently bookable.
Is it a treatment for lymphoedema?
No. Lymphoedema needs medical care. Talk to your doctor.
Will I have cupping marks?
Usually yes, for a few days.
Why is it on a waitlist?
It's performed by a registered acupuncturist, and we're waiting for a new one to join our team. We're not booking this treatment right now. Join the waitlist and we'll contact you as soon as appointments open.
