Medical Ear Piercing

Safe, Hygienic Ear Piercing

Thinking about piercing your baby’s ears? Is your child asking for a pair of pierced ears? You might not think to call your pediatrician’s office, but you should! Medical ear piercing offers a safe, hygienic solution to getting those cute studs.

Ear piercing may not seem like a big deal, but it can pose serious health risks if not done with care. In non-sterile settings, anyone can get a lot more than a cute pair of earrings – we’re talking risk of infections, allergic reactions, skin sensitivity, and more. We want to avoid all that if we can, especially for those infants and younger kids.

Why Use Metro Pediatrics to Pierce Your Ears?

Our pediatricians are specially trained in medical ear piercing, and we use medical-grade products with the Blomdahl method to ensure the safest and cleanest experience possible.

Key safety features of our medical ear piercing service:

Single-use, disposable cassettes: This means there’s no risk of cross-contamination.
Medical-grade plastic or titanium ear piercing studs: These materials are hypoallergenic and won’t cause allergic reactions.
Fixed stud earring backings and longer posts: This promotes healing and prevents the earrings from coming loose.
Wider posts to create larger holes: This helps to reduce skin damage when changing earrings.
Detailed aftercare instructions for the healing period: We want you to stay healthy and infection-free.
