A hooked needle causes?

A hooked needle causes?

• A. Decreased bleeding
• B. Increased pigment uptake
• C. Faster healing
• D. Increased bleeding

Answer: (D)

Hooked needle geometry increases tissue trauma during insertion. The curved or barbed tip catches and tears tissue rather than cleanly penetrating, which disrupts blood vessels and leads to more bleeding. That added trauma makes increased bleeding the most accurate choice. Decreased bleeding isn’t consistent with the extra tissue disruption a hooked design causes. Increased pigment uptake isn’t guaranteed—greater trauma can scatter pigment or cause uneven deposition, not simply more uptake. Faster healing is unlikely because more tissue damage typically slows healing rather than speeds it.
