Today we want to tell you more about this method and help you find the perfect intradermal needles. What is intradermal acupuncture? Traditional acupuncture is based on the fundamentals of stagnation, Zang-fu, ying and yang, excess-deficiency, among others and its puncture is vertical, short-lived and quite intense. Its results are quick but, in certain patients, short-lasting. When we talk about intradermal acupuncture, we are talking about a very superficial, long-lasting puncture, which is placed tangentially to the patient's skin surface and which achieves slower and more prolonged results. With this method, the patient does not feel the stimulation of currents or “qi”, rather, this technique seeks to stimulate the energy function or the ashi points, which are recognized as painful points. As we already mentioned, these needles are much shorter than traditional ones and generally measure less than 1cm in length. In addition, they are particularly fine needles, with a thickness of approximately 0.16 mm. To facilitate handling, the head of these needles is rounded, resembling a ring. Treatment with intradermal needles is prolonged, in fact, it can last up to 1 week. However, due to the shallow depth of the puncture, patients will not notice its presence. It is important that the treatment is not performed in areas where the patient has freckles or scars, since the skin surface of these regions is affected and the treatment may not work the same.
