How huge are those needles? Sewing or sword fighting?

The standard needles used are as thin as a cat's whisker! For those with heightened sensitivity, we offer even smaller needles that are the width of a hair. We only utilize sterile, single-use disposable solid needles, and they are never reused. Does it hurt? Not at all. Most individuals find the treatment enjoyable, comfortable, and relaxing, with many even falling asleep. The sensation of needle insertion may feel like a quick pinch that quickly fades. Some report mild tingling, heaviness, warmth, or a dull ache at the acupuncture point, indicating the flow of Qi. Typically, sessions last around an hour, allowing patients to rest nap. After treatment, you can anticipate feeling less pain, increased energy, and an overall boost in well-being.
