Acupuncture needles are hair thin, sterile and disposable. Each needle is used one time only and then discarded appropriately.  

Approximately fifteen acupuncture needles can fit into a hollow hypodermic needle used for injections and giving blood. Acupuncture needles vary in length depending on the location of the body and a person’s physique.

Kaitlin’s personal preference is to use Pyonex and Seirin Japanese acupuncture needles. These have a worldwide reputation for quality and consistency of painless insertion.
