I started acupuncture earlier this yar for the first time. A chinese woman did it. She went through my medical history , just like the first time you first a doctor. She took my blood pressure and pulse. Then when it was time for the actual treatment I did have to take of some of my clothes. It depends on where the treatment region is and what they are treating. Somethimes she did my uppreion so I had to take my shirt of fbut I was covered by a sheet. Sometimes she treated points in my legs and feet or back and I had to be fully nude but again covered by a sheet. Once the needles are in they leave you alone for awhile 20-30 minutes and then come back in take them out and that's it. And they may prescirbe chinese medicine for you to take.

No I have had several sessions of acupuncture and you don't need to take any clothes off.
