Bloomingdale Acupuncture frequently asked questions
They're not very big. The typical Chinese fine needle measures .25 to .30 millimeters in diameter, and 30-50 millimeters in length. The diameter is similar to your own hair. Acupuncture needles, unlike hypodermic needles, are neither hollow nor rigid, and the tip is shaped to increase the patient's comfort during insertion.

Do the Needles Hurt?

Frequently Asked Questions
The needles are usually made of stainless steel, not much thicker that a human hair. Usually nothing is felt as the needle penetrates the skin but there will be some sensation as the needle reaches the subcutaneous acupuncture point. This can be a feeling of numbness, or an ache, or an "alive" sensation, or a sort of sharpness. It is certainly a lot less painful than the sensation of being accidentally punctured by a needle or a pin. Some people seem to feel hardly anything at all.
