Am I A Candidate for Ear Piercing?
At Oak Hills Med Spa & Wellness Center in Tyler, TX, ear piercing is a safe and professional procedure suitable for most individuals. Ideal candidates are those in good health, without active skin conditions or sensitivities to piercing materials. The spa's licensed professionals use sterile, medical-grade equipment and a precise spring-loaded device to ensure a comfortable experience and promote proper healing.

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.
What To Expect After Ear Piercing
After getting your ears pierced at Oak Hills Med Spa & Wellness Center, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness for a few days—this is completely normal and part of the healing process. To ensure proper healing, avoid removing your earrings for at least 4–6 weeks and refrain from touching the piercing unnecessarily. Additionally, you should avoid swimming in pools, hot tubs, or natural bodies of water during the initial healing period, as these environments may introduce bacteria. If you notice any signs of infection, such as increased swelling, redness, or discharge, contact our team immediately for professional advice. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and hygienic experience for all clients.

I booked an appointment for a lash lift and tint and an aesthetic consultation. My conversation with Valeria was comprehensive and left me feeling better about the state of my skin. The lash lift/tint was incredible! Valeria spoke to me through every step leaving which was helpful. I felt no anxiety throughout my appointment. I booked a hydrafacial immediately after and cannot wait! Everyone at the spa was friendly and welcoming. 5/5 hard recommend!
So happy with my treatment with Dr. Short!
