Tiny steel needles are inserted on the ear's skin surface and remain there until they come out spontaneously.
To increase their effectiveness, the permanent needles must be stimulated with a magnet several times a day. With these needles, the acupuncture points to be treated are stimulated much longer and more intensively than during a traditional needle acupuncture.
Acupuncture using permanent needles may not be confused with implant acupuncture .
