Ear piercing is a procedure done mainly for cosmetic reasons. There are no health reasons to get your ears pierced and most people get their ears pierced due to personal or cultural preferences.

We pierce safely at any age, including newborns. There is no vaccine requirement due to our sterile tools, professional staff and medical-grade earrings.

Yes, ear piercing is safe for babies and young children when done by licensed nurses in a clean, professional setting. We use medical-grade tools and follow strict hygiene protocols to ensure a safe and gentle experience.

If you have a keloid concern or suffering from diabetes, we highly advise you to consult with your doctor first and have their clearance to get an ear piercing for your own health and safety.

Infection – Anytime the skin is broken there is the risk of infection. We use sterile techniques to prevent this. Our patient education material provides detailed instruction on after-care for the ear lobes. Our technique is bloodless and our single-use sterile cartridges eliminate cross-contamination.

Pain – The procedure causes minimal pain. However, since we are physician owned and supervised, we are able to perform your ear piercing with topical anesthesia if you so prefer.

Allergic reactions – Allergies to nickel and other components of earrings can occur. At Medical Ear Piercing Clinics, we use medical grade materials and earrings to prevent allergies.

Keloids – Keloids are excessive scar tissue that forms around a wound. Keloids may occur after ear piercing, and are 80% more likely to occur if ears are pierced after age 11. Other risk factors for keloids include dark skin, previous keloid formation, and nickel containing earrings.

Feed and rest your child beforehand. Bring a pacifier, toy, or comfort item.

Our mission is to provide safe, gentle, and centered ear lobe piercings by exceptionally trained medical professionals who are nurses. Ears in general are different in appearance and shape and may not be symmetrical for some occasions. We place the piercing markings and have the parent/client approve them to ensure prior satisfaction before we proceed with the ear-piercing.

We pierce one earlobe at a time. This way we can assure symmetry of earring placements.

We use a piercing device with a sterile, single-use cassette that houses the earrings inside. In this way, we do not use needles instead, we pierce the earlobe directly with the earring studs to ensure no cross-contamination in between patients.

About 15–20 minutes total. The actual piercing takes seconds.

We give full aftercare instructions. Most babies calm quickly and can resume normal activity.

Healing takes 6 weeks. Earrings should remain in and be cleaned daily.

Clean both the front and back of the piercing twice daily for 5 days with aftercare provided. No twisting needed.

We advise them to wait until the 6 weeks healing period before they resume swimming so as to avoid the ears getting infected.

When it wears off there will be some tenderness in the area if touched but most children do fine.

Yes, we do re-piercing provided that the infection has been resolved. The new piercing will be done away from the scar, (if any).

If this occurs within the first 48 hours of piercing, re-piercing can occur in 1 week. If it occurs later than 48 hours, a period of 3 + weeks may be required for the hole to close.

We can only provide medical advice and services to those who had their piercing done by our staff.

Use a clean eraser as a backing until you can get a replacement from us. If it’s the earring that fell out, try to reinsert the same or different earring right away to preserve the piercing hole.
