What is ear piercing?

Ear piercing is a medical and aesthetic procedure during which a small hole is created in the earlobe or cartilage to insert jewelry. The procedure is performed in sterile conditions, following the highest hygiene standards.

Ear piercing is most commonly chosen by:

  • children and teenagers (from the age of eight);

  • adults for aesthetic reasons;

  • people who wish to reopen a closed piercing.

Safe ear piercing means proper technique, sterility, and a professional approach that reduces the risk of infection, inflammation, and complications. Hygiene is crucial — sterile instruments and medical-grade jewelry are used.

How does the ear piercing process take place?

Specialist consultation

Before the procedure, a short consultation is conducted:

  • health condition is assessed;

  • possible allergies are identified (e.g., nickel);

  • the most suitable jewelry is selected.

Jewelry selection is essential for proper healing. “Veselības centrs 4” offers medical-grade jewelry made from hypoallergenic materials.
