Ear Piercing Procedure (Inverness Piercing Technique)-What to Expect

Here are the steps that a dermatologist will take to pierce the ear:

Disinfection of both sides of the ear with an alcohol swab.
Marking of the site of piercing with an iodine-based surgical marking pen.
Removal of the sterile seal and the cartridge from the Inverness cassette.
Placement of an ear-piercing capsule in the ear-piercing instrument and the instrument placement around the ear, such that the marked ear is exactly in the slot.
Gentle, slow squeezing of the ear-piercing instrument so that the inner capsule contacts the marking.
A firm grasp of the ear-piercing system for the precise placement of the earring.
Removal of the ear-piercing instrument and final, appealing appearance of the pierced ear.

Pre-Ear Piercing Care Instructions

For a smooth ear-piercing experience at a dermatologist's office, take these steps:

Well-hydrate and nourish your body and skin
Ensure that the ears are free of active infections, allergies, injuries, or serious skin conditions
Inform the practitioner of allergies to metals, if any, so that hypoallergenic stud material is chosen
Style hair neatly at the back and come clean in comfortable clothing for the appointment
Make the practitioner aware of the current course of medications, supplements, and even lifestyle. Avoid blood thinners.

Post-Ear-Piercing Care Instructions

Dress carefully so that the pierced ear doesn’t get pulled
On seeing signs of infection, immediately see a dermatologist
Ensure proper cleaning of the back and front of the pierced ear with a sterile saline solution or mild, non-scented cleanser
Avoid touching or twisting/rotating the stud. Touch the pierced ear with only clean, dry hands
Keep earlobe studs in for a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks and cartilage studs in for a minimum of 5 to 6 months to avoid closing of newly made holes
Avoid exposing the pierced ear to hydrogen peroxide, antibacterial agents, or alcohol-based products, as these would irritate or damage the skin and delay healing
Avoid going to saunas, steam rooms, swimming pools, hot tubs, or water bodies until the pierced ear heals
Prevent the sticking of the stud or earring by applying petroleum jelly around the newly made opening
Do not sleep on the side of a new ear piercing, and make sure the pillow or bed linens are of soft fabric and clean
Choose hypoallergenic studs or earrings like medical-grade stainless steel, 14k gold, or titanium to avoid allergic reactions.
