EAR PIERCING
We offer a very safe, quick and as pain-free as possible piercing service. It includes 24ct gold/silver plated studs and a wonderful home care solution to help with healing.
With our system, we can pierce ears gently and professionally with gorgeous, individually sealed, sterile, hypoallergenic studs.
Virtually silent and therefore also ideal for children. It offers the optimum in hygiene: The studs and earring backs are contained within a single-use cartridge, which is inserted directly into the instrument. We use industry-leading technology which ensures a gentle setting of the ear piercing. For this reason it is also ideal for use on the flat cartilage area of the upper ear.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO LOOK AFTER MY EAR PIERCING?
Wash hands thoroughly before touching the jewellery or ear. Cleanse the front and back of the ear 2 to 3 times a day with your chosen Studex Aftercare solution. Moving the jewellery carefully is important for safe healing. Keep hairspray, soap, shampoo, and other preparations away from the ear. After shampooing, the ear should be rinsed with clear water and then cleansed with your Studex aftercare product. Do not remove earrings or handle unnecessarily. Do not push the butterfly along the post towards the ear. The butterfly must always be positioned at the tip of the post, exactly where it is straight after the piercing. Feel the position each time you clean the ear – it must feel smooth. This ensures that the earring remains loose during the healing period and reduces the risk of swelling or discomfort post piercing, allowing air to circulate.
CAN I GO SWIMMING AND DO EXERCISE WITH MY NEW PIERCING?
Due to the nature of ear piercing, exposure of newly pierced areas to certain environments such as swimming, and participation in certain athletic events (exercising) may increase the likelihood of infection. We would advise against swimming, saunas, hot tubs for the first 48 hours. If you do, for example, go swimming sooner, ensure you clean the piercing thoroughly. The piercing area should be cleansed with Studex Aftercare product then kept dry, especially after bathing, swimming, or exercise.
HOW LONG DO I NEED TO KEEP MY PIERCING JEWELLERY IN FOR?
If using the Studex ADVANCED Piercing Aftercare clean for 3 weeks for the ear lobe and 8 weeks for the upper flat cartilage carefully before removing jewellery. If using the Studex After Piercing Lotion; 6 weeks continuously for the ear lobe, 12 weeks for the upper flat cartilage. Remember once you have removed the jewellery, you will need to clean the site thoroughly and continue to wear hypoallergenic jewellery continuously to prevent the piercing from closing. We recommend using straight post (not curved) earrings continuously for the first 6 months from piercing.
