The length of the time that acupressure is applied will depend on individual sensitivity and the degree of health or imbalance. Generally, application for 1–3 minutes is sufficient, and little and often is more effective than a longer period at irregular intervals. In the case of an acute condition, or profound discomfort or pain, acupressure should be repeated regularly throughout the day at hourly or 2–hourly intervals, then gradually decreased to 3 times a day as the condition improves and finally 2–3 times a week to maintain improvement and prevent recurrence. For long-standing conditions, regular acupressure 2–3 times a week over several weeks or months should lead to improvement. The Acupressure Health Workout and the Facial Workout are effective when used 2–3 times a week.
