What is Slimming Acupoint Therapy and why try it?
At Lian Acupoint Therapy in Somerset West, Cape Town, our Slimming Acupoint Therapy focuses on rebalancing the body’s energy flow and improving circulation to support natural detox and healthy weight management. Using needle-free acupoint therapy and ultrasonic stimulation, Lian works along the body’s meridian network to activate metabolism, reduce water retention, and promote lymphatic flow.
This gentle yet effective detox acupoint therapy helps stimulate lymph drainage for cellulite, assisting the body in releasing toxins and improving skin tone and texture. Each session is personalised to your body’s needs, combining ultrasonic therapy, meridian balancing, and fascia release to restore harmony, encourage detoxification, and leave you feeling lighter, more energised, and balanced from within.
Slimming Acupoint Therapy
How Does Slimming Acupoint Therapy Work?
Lian assesses the meridian patterns, digestive function and tissue restrictions that can make weight management harder. Treatment typically includes:
-
Targeted acupoint stimulation to help balance organ-related energy patterns (digestion, spleen/liver function),
-
Ultrasonic acupoint device to improve local circulation and reduce tissue congestion when indicated, and
-
Practical nutrition advice and simple lifestyle steps to reduce chronic inflammation and support metabolism.
Together these elements aim to improve digestion, reduce bloating and fluid stagnation, and make other healthy changes more effective.
What a session feels like?
During your session, Lian places a ultrasonic device directly on selected acupoints, using a gentle conductive gel or cream. You might feel a soft warmth or a light vibration as the ultrasonic waves work through the tissue. The treatment is point-specific, precise and comfortable.
The therapy is completely non-invasive, and the settings are always adjusted to suit your comfort.
What can I expect during a session?
A first appointment is a relaxed consultation and treatment. Lian will:
-
Review medical history and your main concerns.
-
Check posture, movement and meridian patterns (pulse/tongue where helpful).
-
Provide hands-on treatment: acupoint work, manual therapy and ultrasound if indicated.
Sessions are safe, non-invasive and tailored to each client. Many people feel immediate relief and steady improvement over a short course.

What is Ultrasonic Acupoint Therapy
Gentle, Deep, Non-Needle Acupoint Therapy
Your therapist, Lian, uses a conductive gel and a specialised ultrasonic device to deliver comfortable waves that soften tight muscles, boost local circulation and support natural clearing and recovery. It’s perfect if you prefer a non-needle approach or need targeted depth without discomfort — and every setting is adjusted to your comfort and needs.
Meridian Body System Explained
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, meridians are the body’s energy pathways linking organs, tissues and acupoints. When they’re blocked, you may feel pain, heaviness, poor sleep or sluggish digestion. By stimulating specific acupoints, we help restore energy flow, release local tension and support the body’s own healing rhythm.
