Ear Piercing Techniques
There are various techniques to pierce ears for earrings. Oak Hills Med Spa & Wellness Center uses a method with a piercing device with a spring to push the starter stud through the earlobe. This is done with a disposable cartridge system that operates with an automatic spring, and the stud holder and clasp holder are disposable for safety.
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.
