Hi Sinkor,
My Hubby's uncle is doing accupuncture for me... Actually, I wanted to go slimming center but my health conditions dun permit. The theory is the same, whether accupuncture or slimming center, all they can do is to boost your body metabolism rate faster so you will be able to burn off the excessive fats in your body. For accupuncture, they poke needle into your body to increase blood circulation and increase your metabolism rate.
For slimming center, if you notice, they are using machines and hot wraps, suana etc ( every item also heat ) on your body... this allows your blood circulation to move faster and breaks down fats in your body.
Conculsion : slimming center and accupuncture is the same = boost the rate of your metabolism in your body.
