My experience tells me that it will probably take between 4-8 weeks if you have 2-3 sessions per week. Then in the third month, the weight loss will slow down requiring some diet corrections to continue losing weight.
Good morning,
1. Received. Thank you.
2. Acupuncture does work for weight control. In Chinese medicine weight control has 8 differentiations. Usually, it takes from 2-6 weeks. Depends on the diagnoses.
3. You can talk to your acupuncturist or you can call me at (562) 698-3008.

It will be a mistake to think that acupuncture alone can help to lose weight. There is a need for a diet plan and the fortitude of the patient to move forward with the treatment plan.
Weight loss is complex and usually you need to have some lifestyle changes and nutritional counseling. I suggest adding acupuncture to this for 6 months to a year depending on your goals and expectations

I don't know anything about you, even your age. How could i reasonably answer this accurately? Sorry.
Weight loss will be a journey unless you only have a few pounds to lose. Acupuncture works the best in conjunction with an exercise routine and dietary changes. It will improve the organ function and circulation, and help the body detox which will make your efforts more effective.
Acupuncture itself is not the best treatment for weight loss, however, acupuncture is great as a secondary treatment. Don't forget, that most important to understand the cause of obesity. It could be simple overeating, eating disorders, or some kind of general diseases that may cause overweight, such as hypothyroidism, adrenal disbalance, etc. Depending on the cause of the problem customized treatment plan can be created and may include acupuncture, homeopathic remedies, hypnotherapy, etc. You can read more here: https://philaweightlossclinic.com/
There is no defined gold standard since all people are different and their needs as well, but from the first 15 days, you will begin to see results. If not, you will have to comment it to your doctor to assess the situation.
All the acupuncture will do is help you control how much you eat. You will lose weight accordingly. A pound or two a week is a healthy way to shed those extra pounds.
For me, it take two sessions to see results for weight loss, I don't know about other clinic does it take to how many acupuncture sessions to see results for weight loss. It might take 3-4 sessions.
Weight loss can be a tricky thing to work with. There are few treatments available which are going to over-ride poor food choices. To put it another way - most weight loss happens in the kitchen, rather than a treatment room.
If your diet is in a good place, then I'd expect to see something in the range of 1-2 lbs of weight loss per week (on average, you'll probably experience more loss up front with a gradual level-off).
