Back to: Acupuncture with intradermal needles
Acupuncture with intradermal needles is a specialized technique within traditional Chinese medicine that combines precision and long-term action. Instead of classic acupuncture needles that are placed deeper into the tissue, this method uses extremely thin and short needles that are placed just below the surface of the skin. Their purpose is to provide continuous stimulation of acupuncture points over a long period of time, which achieves a gradual but lasting therapeutic effect.

This method works on the principle of stimulating energy channels, known as meridians, through which vital energy flows - chi. When that flow is blocked, pain, tension or emotional imbalance can occur. By placing intradermal needles on the appropriate points, the energy is reactivated and balanced, thus improving the general condition of the organism. The treatment is almost painless, because the needles are as thin as a strand of hair, and their placement causes a minimal sensation of pressure or heat. Over the course of several hours or days, while the needles are in place, the body gradually returns to a state of harmony.
Acupuncture with intradermal needles is used in the therapy of various conditions - from chronic muscle and joint pain, through headaches and neck tension, to sleep disorders, anxiety and fatigue. It is also used to support immunity and to improve circulation. Due to its prolonged effect, this technique is particularly effective for people who want milder but constant stimulation without frequent visits for treatment.
The advantage of this method is its long-lasting effect and gentleness. The treatment does not cause pain, does not damage the skin and does not require recovery. The needles are inserted using sterile applicators and secured with a plaster, so the patient can continue his daily activities. Acupuncture with intradermal needles represents an ideal combination of traditional wisdom and modern precision, giving the body the opportunity to regenerate itself through a gentle but effective energy balancing process.
