Ear Piercing
EAR PIERCING
Our ear piercing treatments includes a pair of studded earrings and aftercare lotion. Under 16's MUST be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Earrings must be kept in for a minimum of 6 weeks during the healing process and cleaned twice daily. Before the piercing a thorough consultation is required to make sure all parties are happy and the therapist is happy that the aftercare will be completed.

PRE CARE ADVICE
-
Please note we will only pierce children above the age of 6 and if they are able to keep up to the aftercare themselves and not rely on parents.
-
Have food before the treatment if you feel uneasy.
-
If you are over 18 but lucky enough to look under please bring ID with you.
DURING THE TREATMENT
-
Your therapist will mark on the ears where will be pierced and will double check that everyone is happy with the positioning.
PIERCING AFTERCARE
-
Ear piercing usually heals completely within 8-10 weeks in most people, if aftercare is done properly. However, upper ear cartilage piercing can give rise to many problems. Small lumps and granulomas around the piercing are commonly found.
-
Take care that your hair should not disturb the piercing. It can transmit the hair products, oil, dirt, bacteria and other irritants into the piercing wound.
-
Clean the piercing once a day, preferably in shower. If you clean it more times, it can affect your body's natural defence to heal itself.
-
Rinse the piercing with saline in order to remove the crust, which is developed from accumulated lymph.
