Acupuncture uses very thin, solid, spring-loaded stainless steel needles that are single-use and sterile. Unlike medical injection needles, acupuncture needles do not have a cutting edge and do not inject anything into the body. The skin is gently separated rather than cut, which usually results in minimal discomfort during insertion compared to a shot.
