From the reviews

Dr. Lee is an outstanding acupuncturist. He is very knowledgeable and professional along with having a kind and considerate manner. He draws upon extensive experience in treating patients using herbs and cupping as well. In my experience, he achieved results that no other acupuncturist has.

★★★★★ — S., Sep 2024

Went for unresolved pain after having shingles. I had to take so much pain medicine and it was causing side effects, so I decided to get an accupuncture. The doctor was very friendly and thorough with the examination.

★★★★★ — Jtan885, Oct 2025

I had the pleasure of visiting Vita Acupuncture & Herbs nearly every week from April until September, after a hamstring tear avulsion repair surgery. I can’t recommend Dr. Se Yong Lee highly enough! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism.

★★★★★ — Tatsiana, Sep 2024

I feel so lucky to have found Dr Lee at Vita Acupuncture. Not only is he extremely skilled and knowledgeable, I’m so impressed with the amount of time and care he takes with each appointment - He is very thorough! Each week he asks a lot of questions and he tests various physical points before beginning treatment.

What to expect from your first cupping session

New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.

Cupping isn't for everyone — if you're on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a skin condition or bleeding disorder, check with your doctor first, and always tell your practitioner about health concerns before a session. This page is directory information, not medical advice.
