Not usually. All patients are treated in a private curtained space. Most of the time, the main needle-insertion points are on the back, stomach, legs and arms, so wearing loose-fitting clothing is fine. So similar to medical doctors, we may ask you to disrobe (keeping underwear on) to treat you. In this case you will be covered with towels.
