Soliman Auricular Acupuncture Treatment technique is a revolutionary treatment for allergy relief. Combining the practice of Traditional Eastern Medicine and auricular microsystem mapping, Dr. Nadar Soliman developed the SAAT technique. It is done by inserting a tiny (about 3mm) thin, stainless steel acupuncture needle in the ear that remains attached for a couple of weeks to reprogram the immune system. This treatment aims to provide relief and reduce the symptoms related to the specific allergy. You may benefit from SAAT if you have food, animal, or environmental sensitivity. Dr. Ting Wu of NYC Acupuncture + Wellness is certified and trained in SAAT technique and has treated patients with difficult allergies such as Alpha-gal syndrome and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.

Cold laser therapy is an application of low-intensity laser to the surface of the body with a wavelength range that does not burn or cut. Cold laser therapy promotes cellular regeneration and enhances the body's natural healing processes. The treatment is painless and drug-free, making it a comfortable option for patients with complex medical conditions and those who want to avoid the side effects of pharmacologic therapy. Cold laser is an alternative for those who would like to get acupuncture treatments but are apprehensive about needles.

A form of phototherapy, red light therapy travels deep into the skin to trigger positive cell function and repair. Repeated exposure to red light therapy at the recommended dose can increase blood flow bringing more nutrients in the area of exposure to speed up tissue repair and shorten the inflammation period. Red light therapy is indicated for those with dermatitis, alopecia, and scars, or even for those who wish to minimize wrinkles and fine lines brought on by aging. Red light therapy is also recommended for post-op wounds and some musculoskeletal aches.

The difference between infrared light and red light is its wavelength. Infrared's wavelength is between 800nm to 1mm while red light is at 630nm-700nm. Infrared heat therapy has pain relief effects and can be used to detox the body. Infrared penetrates deeper than red light, making it the choice of treatment for deeper structures like muscles and joints. Infrared therapy is ideal for those with chronic pain, arthritis, neuropathic pain, and other conditions that need help in cell and protein repair.
