What are medical piercings?
Medical ear and nose piercing is a minor surgery that has some risks, such as infection, scarring, or allergy. It is a form of piercing that is done by a registered nurse or doctor in a medical setting. Unlike conventional piercing methods that use a gun or a needle, medical piercing uses a aseptic disposable cartridge system that pierces the skin with a sharp, hollow instrument. This reduces the risk of infection, bleeding, and tissue damage. Medical piercing also uses hypoallergenic jewelry that is made of titanium or medical-grade plastic, which minimizes the chances of allergic reactions or irritation. Medical-grade plastic is the perfect alternative for those who have nickel allergies.
What are the benefits of medical piercings?
Medical ear and nose piercing has many benefits over traditional piercing methods, such as:
- It is safer and more hygienic, as it prevents the transmission of diseases and bacteria.
- It is less painful and more comfortable, as it creates a clean and precise hole without tearing the skin.
- It is faster and easier, as it takes only a few seconds to complete the procedure.
- It is more durable and reliable, as it ensures proper healing and prevents rejection or migration of the jewelry.
- It is more aesthetic and versatile, as it allows you to choose from a variety of styles and sizes of jewelry.
What can I expect during and after the procedure?
During your initial consultation, our experienced medical professionals will assess your unique needs and discuss your goals. We’ll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your desired outcome.
During your consultation, we will:
- Discuss your cosmetic goals
- Review your medical history
- Perform any needed tests or screenings
- Examine areas of concern
- Mark the desired piercing location and align as needed
Before the procedure, the doctor will examine your ear or nose and mark the desired location of the piercing. You will also be asked to sign a consent form and provide your medical history. The doctor will then clean the area with an antiseptic solution and apply a topical anesthetic cream to numb the skin. To make the holes symmetric, we measure and mark the lobes and ask for your approval before piercing both sides at once.
The doctor will then insert the cartridge into the piercing device and press it against your ear or nose. You will feel a slight pinch as the instrument pierces the skin and inserts the jewelry. The doctor will then remove the cartridge and dispose of it safely. The whole process will take less than a minute per piercing.
After the procedure, the doctor will give you some aftercare instructions and tips to follow. You will need to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid touching or twisting the jewelry. You will also need to apply a saline solution or an antibiotic ointment to the piercing site twice a day for the first week. You will be able to change the jewelry after three months for ear piercings and six months for nose piercings, depending on the healing process. You will also need to avoid swimming, wearing headphones, or applying makeup or perfume to the area until it is fully healed.
After the procedure:
- Avoid swimming, over-the-head headphones, makeup and/or perfume on the area
- Wait 6 weeks before changing earrings and keep an earring in place until 6 months to prevent the hole from closing
- Follow post-procedure care directions
- Schedule a follow-up appointment to track your progress
- If the ear becomes red, swollen, or pus-filled, call us immediately. We may be able to treat it with cleaning and ointment, or we may have to remove the earring and prescribe antibiotics. You can re-pierce the ear after 6 to 12 months.
