Ear Piercing

We are happy to offer this service to our patients.

Blomdahl Medical Ear Piercing at Our Clinic

When is the best time to pierce?

• Infants (2 months - 2 years):The ideal window is often between 2-10 months. For children over one year, we will proceed if they can remain calm during the brief procedure.
• Older Children (4+ years):We recommend waiting until your child expresses a desire for earrings and can sit still for the piercing.

Why We Trust Blomdahl Medical Piercing:

The Blomdahl system is a sterile, physician-supervised method designed to prioritize your child's health and safety.

• Maximum Sterility: Each piercing uses a single-use, disposable cassette, eliminating the risk of infection and exposure to blood-borne viruses.
• Allergy-Free Materials: Medical-grade materials help prevent development of nickel allergies.
• Medical Plastic: The only 0% nickel piercing studs available.
• Medical-Grade Titanium: A safe and pure metal option.
• Designed for Optimal Healing: The earring posts are slightly longer and the backs are fixed at the end of the post to allow for better air circulation, which promotes faster healing.

Our Safe & Comfortable Process:

• Medical Professionals:Your child's piercing will be performed by our experienced medical staff in a clean and safe exam room.
• Numbing Cream:We can apply a topical numbing cream to make the experience as pain-free as possible.
• Aftercare Included:You will be provided with detailed instructions and a cleaning solution to ensure proper healing at home.

Important Information for Families:

• Lobe Piercing Only:For safety and to minimize infection risk, we only pierce earlobes. We do not pierce cartilage.
• Cost:The fee for the procedure is$100, which includes the Blomdahl piercing earrings and aftercare solution. Please note that this is not typically covered by insurance.

Did You Know? The Importance of Nickel-Free Earrings

A nickel allergy can develop from exposure to nickel in jewelry. While only a small percentage of people are born with this allergy, the rate can increase significantly after piercing with nickel-containing earrings. Our 0% nickel medical plastic earrings are the safest choice to prevent this common allergy.

Trust us to provide a safe, hygienic, and positive ear piercing experience for your child. Please let us know if you have any questions!
