No, acupuncture does not cause you to bleed.
In some cases though, depending on what part of the body was treated, a small speck of blood may appear after the acupuncturist removes the needle, but which is quickly wiped away with a swab of alcohol cloth by the acupuncturist. This usually is a good sign however, meaning that whichever meridian the needle was interacting with was overly stressed and needed to be relived of pressure.
Source: I went in for acupuncture a few times times for relieving a chronic headache I had at the time, and the only place that had a tiny bit of bleeding was the "third eye," the location between your eyes and above your nose, but actually that needle was the best feeling out of all of them for me and by the time I got home my headache was completely gone and I was in a very nice state of relaxation. I slept great that night and the headache never returned after 3 treatments.
In short: don't worry about discomfort of bleeding, because if there is any it will be minor, and just let the practitioner do their thing and try to relax. It will be a great experience and while I have no idea how acupuncture works, I know that it's effective and that's all the counts!

∙ 7y agoHaving a little blood when an acupuncture needle is taken out is normal. There may even be a small bruise but not often. There are many small capillaries in the body that can be hit. It does not hurt though and most people do not even notice.

Is accupuncture dangerous?
Yes. Self acupuncture is dangerous because you don't know how to do it as well as a professional. If you want acupuncture, see a doctor at an acupuncture clinic. They went to university for years so they know what they're doing. If you do it yourself, you might cause nerve damage, infection, bleeding and harm. So my advice is never do it yourself.
