Ear Piercing Services at Mindful Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine
At Mindful Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, we take pride in offering safe and professional ear piercing services for our young patients. Our commitment to your child’s well-being extends beyond medical care, and we understand that ear piercing is a significant milestone. That’s why we use the Blomdahl Ear Piercing System, a proven method that prioritizes safety, hygiene, and comfort.
Why Choose Blomdahl?
-
The Blomdahl system follows the “modern aseptic technique” used in healthcare.
-
Our piercers use only safe, hygienic, and sterile products to minimize the risk of infections and allergic reactions during the earring application.
​​
When to Pierce?
-
We recommend ear piercing after 4 months old. Waiting until this age ensures that your child has received their first set of vaccines.
-
Additionally, the earlobe grows sufficiently by 4 months, allowing for accurate placement of the earring.
Our Approach:
-
Appointment-Only Service:
-
We perform ear piercing by appointment only, ensuring adequate time for the procedure.
-
This dedicated appointment allows us to explain the process thoroughly and address any questions about aftercare
-
-
Pricing:
-
We charge $90 to pierce both ears.
-
This fee includes the high-quality piercing studs used during the procedure.
-
Aftercare Guidelines:
-
Immediately after piercing, the ear may feel warm and pulsing, which is normal and will settle down after a day or two.
-
Proper aftercare is crucial to prevent infections. It takes at least six weeks for the hole to heal enough to switch to other earrings.
-
We provide detailed instructions on how to care for your new piercing to ensure a smooth healing process.
