At what age can a baby's ears be pierced?<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The recommended age is the age parents are comfortable with. For me, it’s a matter of earlobe size. Several countries pierce at birth. Here in Quebec the urban legend says that it is 3 months. \u263a\ufe0f<\/strong><\/p>\n

It really is up to you. I often pierce babies a few weeks old or even a few days old. It depends on cultures, customs, on you. We don’t judge your choice, as long as the earlobe is big enough. If you have any doubts about the size of your baby’s earlobes, you can privately send me a photo with your thumb next to it for reference.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In conclusion, the younger they are at the time of piercing, the sooner they get used to wearing earrings, and the less likely they are to play with them. \ud83d\ude0a<\/strong><\/p>\n

My device is the most innovative instrument that benefits from advanced and patented technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our jewelry is sealed and sterilized in disposable cartridges, FDA and Health Canada approved.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My device is a springless tool that optimizes the piercing process gently in the earlobe with our specifically designed jewelry sharp enough to pierce without tearing tissue, and without bursting blood vessels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Healing is optimal, no swelling, no blood or side effects. The “no touch” ear piercing process highlights safety, hygiene and ease of use.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

What are the risks of earlobe infections?<\/span>

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
The risk of infection is practically zero since the jewelry is sterilized and made of pure materials. But when changing jewelry, however, there could be a risk of infection due to one of the following factors: the tip of the new jewelry is scratched, the material of the new jewelry is involved, or it may be how you insert the jewelry into the earlobe. If this is the case, YOU MUST NOT REMOVE THE JEWELRY, instead apply an antibiotic cream, such as Polysporin (cream format) to the wound once a day, until complete healing.<\/strong>
\nTip: To facilitate the insertion of the new jewel in the earlobe, dip the tip of the jewel in Polysporin cream, or in ointment.<\/strong><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

NEVER REMOVE JEWELRY TO CLEAN PIERCINGS.<\/strong><\/p>\n

OPTION 1:\u00a0 AFTER-PIERCING LOTION<\/strong><\/p>\n

At a cost of $10, this lotion has no expiration date. It is suitable for all minor ailments, disinfects and accelerates the healing process.<\/strong><\/p>\n

OPTION 2:\u00a0 HOMEMADE RECIPE<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a cup of boiled water, dissolve 1\/2 teaspoon of salt. Keep in the fridge. Discard the water every 10 days.<\/strong><\/p>\n

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Soak a cotton swab in the solution, then place a good drop in front and another behind the earring, then turn the earring on itself.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Repeat cleaning once a day for 7 to 10 days.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is the numbing cream really effective against pain?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The numbing cream I use for the earlobes is the best on the market and has been proven to work for thousands over 24 years! On the other hand, just as some people need 6 punctures at the dentist to freeze, and just as some moms don’t freeze with the epidural, some babies do not freeze with the cream. That’s life. Unfortunately, we can’t control everything and I don’t have a crystal ball to know who is freezing and who is not in advance. <\/span>\"\ud83d\ude06\"\"\ud83d\ude06\"\"\ud83d\ude06\"<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The device I use is not a punch but a springless tool that optimizes the jewel’s penetration into the earlobe very gently. The jewelry I pierce with is specifically designed for this device. So I cannot use any other jewelry for this purpose. I have what is needed with me at all times for every piercing event.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can see all our jewelry on our Photos<\/a> page.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you later wish to change the earrings and use your own, it will be best to wait at least 6 weeks to ensure the full recovery of the piercing. \"\ud83d\ude0a\"<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In case of appearance of “keloid”:<\/p>\n

In some extremely rare cases, a ball of flesh called “keloid” whose cause is unknown, could appear behind the earlobe. This ball is completely harmless and generally disappears as it came, but it could reappear a little later. This is a particular condition affecting some people. It is not an infection. If you are worried about the situation, you can consult your pharmacist.<\/p>\n

In case of discoloration of the post:<\/p>\n

It is scientifically proven that the phenomenon of color change occurs on the post of an earring (even if it is made of 14 karat gold), when the post inside the earlobe comes into contact with the fluids, interstitial tissues, lymph, and blood of a person who secretes more acidity than normal.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

When you bring your child to us for an ear piercing, and you know that she is in a phase of her life where she does not like strangers, and that even mom or dad cannot contain her when approached, it would be greatly appreciated if you waited for this \u201cphase\u201d to pass before attempting to come and have her ears pierced.
\nWe do not know all the factors that can cause this behavior. It may be related to repeated visits to the doctor following repetitive ear infections or other cases. It may be that teething is too painful, or it may simply be a character trait, or simply a bad day…
\nBriefly\u2026. what I mean is that we will NEVER tie your child to pierce her ears!! If she is screaming at the thought of being approached to apply the numbing cream, we reserve the right to refuse to pierce her ears. We want your experience with us to remain pleasant and that after your visit, everyone will be happy.
\nThere are some cities where our Events take place in closed rooms, but more often, we are right in the center of the shops, and when this kind of episode of crisis occurs, some little girls who are already anxious at the idea that their turn is coming, sometimes want to run away!
\nThese moments have been experienced too often.
\nFor these reasons, a $20 fee will be required for any cancellation when we cannot approach your child.
\nThe numbing cream is not free, as you know, and that also implies that someone else could have had your appointment spot on the day…
