Ears and nose piercing with surgical stainless-steel studs
Most Popular Procedures
Ear and nose piercings with surgical stainless-steel studs are a common and safe practice. Surgical stainless steel is a type of metal that is commonly used in medical and surgical instruments due to its hypoallergenic properties, durability, and resistance to corrosion. It is a good choice for piercing jewellery as it is less likely to cause an allergic reaction or irritation compared to other metals.
When getting a piercing with surgical stainless-steel studs, it’s important to choose a reputable and experienced piercer who uses sterile techniques and proper equipment. They should also provide you with aftercare instructions to help ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of infection or other complications.
After the piercing, it’s important to avoid touching the piercing with dirty hands, keep the area clean and dry, and avoid submerging the piercing in water for a period of time. It’s also important to avoid changing the jewelry too soon, as this can disrupt the healing process and increase the risk of infection.
