HOW IS MEDICAL EAR PIERCING PERFORMED?

The Blomdahl medical ear piercing system is designed with patient safety, comfort, and satisfaction in mind. Before the piercing, the dermatology practitioner marks a spot on your ear lobe to help you envision the position of the earrings. Once you approve the placement, a device is used to accurately place the earring. The piercing takes a few seconds.
