So for anyone who has tried it and normally has that reaction to needles, was it an issue?

They don't look or feel like needles to me. It's more like tiny wires, and I barely feel them when she puts them in much less while they're in. My acupuncturist asked me about reaction to needles before we started the first session, and it sounds like she has some methods to use for people who struggle with needles.
Scarlet, no scars. They really are teeny tiny. Like stopdog, sometimes I will have a bitty bruise or a red dot in a few places but mostly I can't even see where the needles were afterward.
