#Safety

Q Are scalpel acupuncture or bee venom acupuncture treatments safe for the knee? I am worried about side effects.

A Scalpel needle acupuncture is highly safe as it uses sterile, disposable instruments and is administered to the precise site using ultrasound guidance. For bee venom acupuncture, allergies to bee venom must be checked in advance, and treatment proceeds only after starting with a very small dose to confirm tolerance. When performed by a professional Korean medicine doctor, the incidence of serious side effects is very low.

Detailed Answer

Temporary bruising and swelling may occur after scalpel acupuncture (Miniscalpel-needle) treatment, but they usually disappear within a few days. Bee venom acupuncture minimizes the risk of anaphylaxis through prior skin reaction tests. Fire acupuncture may cause temporary redness at the treatment site, and it should be applied cautiously to patients with slow wound healing, such as those with diabetes. Thread lifting uses bioabsorbable threads, so there is almost no foreign body reaction.

Perspective of a Korean Medicine Clinic

The safety of Korean medical procedures depends on the selection of indications based on symptoms and constitution, as well as the proficiency of the practitioner. At Dongjedang, we perform procedures while verifying anatomical structures in real-time using ultrasound guidance, and we prevent the risk of side effects in advance by thoroughly checking allergies, underlying diseases, and medications during the initial consultation. We strictly conduct a thorough explanation and consent process before the procedure.
