Please be advised that while the acupuncture needles are extremely small and normally do not elicit much, if any, bleeding that occasional bruising is a normal, although infrequent occurrence with acupuncture treatments. Please don't be alarmed if bruising does occur; however, you are welcome to notify your practitioner at any time if you have concerns. The body's tendency to bleed may be affected by taking blood thinners, baby aspirin, other medications, or by individual deficiencies.
