In this reaction segment, the speaker critiques a video showing the use of long, thick acupuncture needles near the eyes. They explain that in many Asian cosmetic acupuncture practices, there is a cultural desire for lifted, open eyes, which drives the use of longer needles. The speaker outlines two main reasons for the long needles: (1) mechanical stimulation of collagen fibers—long, thick needles resist bending and can apply stronger pressure, especially when used with a guiding tube; (2) practical training considerations—students are taught to use 1.5‑inch needles at points such as Bladder 2 and Gallbladder 14 so that the longer handle allows safe application of moxibustion without burning the skin. The commentary blends technical observation with cultural context, offering a nuanced view of safety and efficacy in cosmetic acupuncture.

trying to tap it into the skin. Look, there's a big resistance there. So you'd think, you know, pull the skin to let the needle in, but this is— you see, in, in Asia they want to have nice lifted eyes, they want their eyes opened. This is why he's doing it. There's two arguments for these long needles. Anybody got any ideas why he's using long needles like this? I would say in terms of, um, impact on the mechanical stimulation of collagen fibers, uh, you're definitely doing that. Because these are very thick needles, hence they don't bend when he's pushing at them, albeit he's using a tube. That's— thank God. My only comment about using long needles like this, and I think I did a comment on this post, we were taught to use 1.5-inch needles on Bladder 2, Gallbladder 14, in order that the handle was longer and the needle was longer and we could use moxa and not burn the skin.
