  • Yes, acupuncture needles are different from hypodermic needles used for injections or drawing blood. Acupuncture needles are much thinner, finer, and more flexible than hypodermic (standard medical) needles. In fact, acupuncture needles are so fine that they are often described as being as thin as a human hair. Unlike hypodermic needles, acupuncture needles are also typically not hollow and do not inject or withdraw fluids from the body. Acupuncture needles are specifically designed to be inserted through the skin and into the underlying tissues without causing significant discomfort or tissue damage.
