Third, in combination with other therapies : acupuncture laser irradiation in combination with other therapies , there may be adverse reactions merger. Such as the application of helium – neon laser irradiation treated with psoralen tincture combination appears applicator area of skin redness, slight swelling , blisters , itching and other phototoxic reactions.
Microwave acupuncture acupuncture may stimulate volume and the amount of microwave radiation , the patients physical and psychological factors.

[ Approach ]
Laser acupuncture needling reaction and microwave reactions , mostly reversible , transient response.
