Ear Piercing

We now offer all lobe and cartilage piercings using Studex, they provide allergy-free fashion earrings for consumers of all ages (all hypoallergenic). Earring styles range from gold plated & stainless steel, 9ct gold & titanium.

Things to Consider – Before, During and After Treatment

Before:

If you would like to have your ears pierced but have sensitivities to certain metals, please talk to one of our beauty therapists before booking a treatment session. We can then ensure that we have studs that will meet your needs.

During:

Our beauty therapist will guide you through each step of the process and ensure that you feel comfortable. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask; we are only too happy to help.

  • We will ask you about your ear-piercing expectations and let you choose a pair of stud
    earrings from our Caflon range
  • We will cleanse your ear lobes and mark the placement of the earrings
  • Once you are happy with your earring choice and placement, we will go ahead and
    pierce your ears
  • Afterwards, we will talk to you about the aftercare of your new piercings

 

After:
Cleansing

  • Wash hands thoroughly before touching studs or ear.
  • Cleanse the front and back of the ear twice a day with an aftercare solution without removing studs. Then rotate studs two or three times, 90º left and 90º right, i.e. a quarter turn only, thus avoiding hair wrapping around the post at the back of the lobe. In between cleansing, the ear should be kept dry.
  • Keep hair spray, soap, shampoo and other preparations away from the ear.
  • After shampooing, the ear should be rinsed with clean water and then cleansed with an aftercare solution.
  • The piercing area should be cleansed with aftercare solution, then kept dry, especially
    after bathing, swimming or exercising.

 

Do

  • Leave studs in the ears for 6 weeks continuously.
  • After 6 weeks, the stud can be removed, and other post-type earrings may be worn continuously.
  • Use only post-style earrings continuously for the first 6 months from piercing.
  • The post should be surgical stainless steel or other hypoallergenic material.
  • Minor pain/redness may occur immediately – this is normal but will settle within 48
    hours provided proper aftercare is carried out. If excessive pain/swelling/redness occurs, seek medical advice before removing the ear-piercing stud.

 

Don’t

  • Remove studs or handle your ears and/or studs unnecessarily.
  • Push the butterfly towards the earlobe – the butterfly must always be at the end of the post. Feel the position each time you clean the ear – it must feel smooth. This ensures that the earring remains loose during the healing period. An earring that is too tight may lead to inflammation.
