I know this is off topic, but to calm your worries...
The needles are very fine, you likely won't feel them at all, until it begins stimulating the area. Most places now use disposable needles, so they are one time use, no cleaning or re-using necessary. The disposable ones have a plastic tube around them, so you feel the pressure of the tube against your skin, then the needle pokes in, so you are distracted by the pressure and don't even feel the poke. Then they slide the tube off, and voila!
