In this instructional video, Amanda Shayle demonstrates a systematic setup for cosmetic acupuncture treatments. She walks through her tray layout, showing how backup needles are stored in an open bin for quick access, and how emergency wrappers are positioned underneath. She details the range of needle lengths she uses—3 mm, 4 mm scalp needles (red‑handled for visibility in hair), 6 mm, and 30 mm (1 inch) intradermal needles—explaining the purpose of each size. Safety accessories are highlighted, including a silver spoon for bruising, a magnetic pickup tool for retrieving lost needles, and a wide‑handed tweezer that must stay away from the magnet. The sharps dish is described as a square tray that separates clean from dirty items. She prepares swabs with a light spray of lavender water, ensuring they are damp but not wet. Additional tools such as an auricular probe, Heskia cups, sturdy rollers (with a larger, longer‑lasting head) and a Q‑tip pot (with flat and pointy ends from Boots) are presented, with tips on how each aids needle placement, bleeding control, and point coverage. Throughout, she offers practical tips for maintaining organization, preventing fatigue, and ensuring safety during cosmetic acupuncture sessions.

Chapters

This is the tray set that we have, and you'll notice I've got some needles here which I am actually going to turn over. These are my backup needles when I'm doing a treatment, and because I don't want to have all of these wrappers in my way, I have an open bin that they're going to go in, and everything is unpacked. And what I do, I've got the emergency wrappers underneath and I can actually access everything quite neatly here. So we've got 3mm needles which are the shortest, we've got the 6mm here with the longer— I'm piggybacking the tray so you've got The one inch or thirty millimeter longer needles with the longest intradermal, and we have the four millimeter with the scalp needles. Notice they have a red handle so that I can see them in the hair. Don't forget your. Silver spoon in case you bruise them. Don't forget a magnetic pickup which will be used to capture any lost needles, and we stimulate the needles with this as well. Keep the head away from your tweezer because it will magnetize it. Here's my tweezer, wide-handled, easy to use and comfortable on the hand. Stop your fingers from getting tired. The square tray is the sharps dish. It's a different shape. Nothing clean goes in here, nothing dirty goes in here. A bowl of prepared swabs which have a little spray of lavender water on them, and I've dipped them into water so they're not too wet. If you're doing auricular, a probe. I also have my Heskia, my cups, and I'm just going to quickly talk about my roller. This one I'm afraid dropped, but notice the big chunky head that we have. This stays colder for longer, and these— this type of frame breaks really quickly. These are the ones that I prefer, they're very, very sturdy. And this is what they look like brand new, and I tend to use 2 in a treatment. The other missing item is my Q-tip pot so that I can actually cover points when I'm taking the needles out, stretch the point when I put— when I Put the needle in, and I have a flat end. I really like these ones, they're from Boots the Chemist in the UK, or a pointy end so you can get into nooks and crannies on the ear and you can stem the bleeding quite nicely, or just cover a point when you're taking it out.
