What is Acu~Staple?
A tiny surgical stainless steel staple that is placed in the middle cartilage of the ear between specific pressure points to target weight loss, stress, tension, smoking cessation and other problems affecting the body.

How Does It Work?
The staple provides a continuous pressure to specific points in the ear. It sends a signal to your brain telling it your stomach is full or can cause a strong distaste for tobacco, depending on what point the staple is placed.
 

How Long Does It Last?
It can last from 6 weeks to 6 months. It varies from one person to the other. My clients average 12 to 16 weeks. Your body will get used to the stimulus on the point after a certain amount of time. It will be removed and put back in the same day in a slightly different spot between the pressure points.

What Is the Average Weight Loss?
For women, 2-5 pounds a week and men 4-11 pounds.

Does It Hurt?
It is similar to having your ears pierced. There is a slight burning/stinging sensation, but it subsides very quickly.

What's The Difference Of Getting One Staple Versus Two?
It is believed that one ear is more effective than the other, but there is no way to know for sure which one. I always suggest two because of equilibrium and your chances of it working are increased.

What If The Staple Isn't Working?
The staple is effective over 90% of the time. I tell all of my clients to give it one full week, if they truly see no results to come in within 10 days of placement and I will reposition the staples at no charge. If it does not work the second time then this most likely is not the plan for them.

What If One Becomes Loose?
If it is no later than 10 days after placement, I will replace the staple at no charge.

What Are The Risks?
Infection is the biggest risk. If you follow your after care instructions and keep the area clean and dry, and do not touch your staples, you will have little chance of the ear becoming infected. Scarring can also occur, but the chances are very slim because the staple I use is very small.
