What is special in longer size acupuncture needles?

What is special in longer size acupuncture needles?

Acupuncture doesn't work, so in that respect it makes no difference.

Perhaps there is a greater placebo effect when using larger needles.

I think you are asking if there is anything special about longer acupuncture needles.

The answer is that there is not anything special about them. Acupuncturists use varied sizes of needles because the depth of needle insertion depends on the area being needled, the method of needling, and the patients' body size.
