Currently Scalp Acupuncture ofYamamoto is also very popular. Yamamoto Scalp Acupuncture or YNSA is a complete system of acupuncture diagnosis and treatment developed by the Japanese doctor Toshikatsu Yamamoto.
For the practice of craniopuncture, the most recommended needles are those of 0.25x40mm since greater thickness can cause more pain. The recommended length is because many times the puncture is quite flat and we need to have a certain length margin.

Relaxes and restores balance to the Central Nervous System.
Relieves headaches and migraines.
Reduces pain in the neck, shoulders and arms.
Helps with anxiety and depression disorders.
