What to Expect from Ear Piercings
At Oasis Medical Center of Georgia, our practitioners use medical ear piercing supplies by Blomdahl. First, our practitioner marks the part of the earlobe where the earring will be inserted. Next, the lobe is cleaned with an alcohol swab. Our hand clasp device uses sterile disposable cartridges to reduce allergic reactions and allows us to manually push the earring stud through the earlobe one at a time or through both earlobes simultaneously.
The earring chosen for the initial piercing typically should be hypoallergenic, preferably made of titanium, 14-karat gold, or surgical-grade steel. An earlobe piercing takes 4 – 6 weeks to heal. Follow these aftercare instructions carefully to avoid infection:
- Always wash your hands before touching your ears or earrings
- Apply the ear care solutions as directed
- Gently rotate the earring stud after applying the ear care solution
