This invention relates to an injection needle with a multi-surface penetration end which stretches soft tissue with minimal cutting upon insertion. This stretching reduces patient discomfort, the force required for urging needle into the soft tissue, and soft tissue coring. The structure of the multi-surface needle decreases the penetration footprint of the needle into the soft tissue around the needle penetration site, reducing tissue inflammation and increasing healing time. The needle also contains dual injection openings on opposing sides, behind the penetration end to discharge injected fluid over a wider area with lower pressure.
