I'm not sure which kind of ear needles you are asking about. If they are temporary just during your visit, I simply pull them out using the handle on the needle. If you are speaking of the needles that are left in for a few days or weeks, then we use tweezers to remove them.

The effects should last longer with each treatment. Everyone is different, but for example, you may get one day of relief (or several days) with the first treatment, and it should last longer with each treatment.

I recommend treatment at least twice weekly to start and suggest you give it at least 6 treatments before you decide if it's working for you.
