EAR PIERCING

​
Why choose STUDEX® Ear Piercing?
Most people remember when and where they had their ears pierced, so with our Studex® systems, you can be assured that ear piercing will be a positive experience for you and your customers.
What do you mean by Hypoallergenic?
​
Since some people are allergic to nickel, the EU nickel directive regulates how much nickel may be released onto the skin per week. For earrings, these are a maximum of 0.2 micrograms per square centimeter per week (i.e. 0.2 millionth of a gram). All Studex studs and earrings fall well below this allowable value and are thus nickel-safe and allergy free. In fact, all Studex studs and hoops are hypoallergenic, nickel-safe, lead-, cadmium- and cobalt-free.
CAN I USE STUDEX® EAR PIERCING STUDS FOR EVERYDAY USE?
Yes! Many people with sensitive ears use Studex® sterilized studs for everyday use. However, please note that we also carry Fashion earrings for sensitive ears.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE AN EAR PIERCING TO HEAL?
​A minimum of 6 weeks for pierced ear lobes and 12 weeks for ear cartilage piercings. You should only switch into new earrings after the suggested healing period.
​
WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP MY EARS HEAL?
Clean the piercing area(s) with Studex After Piercing Lotion or Gel and rotate the piercing stud at least once a day. More frequent cleaning is necessary after excessive physical activity. Avoid touching the piercing area(s) whenever possible.
​
Is it safe to pierce infants and children?
Yes! All Studex® ear piercing systems are safe for ears of any age. However, we recommend that parents wait until the first DPT vaccination is administered to a newborn and to consult with a pediatrician.
​
DOES EAR PIERCING HURT??
​
No. Our Studex® ear piercing systems have been carefully designed to pierce ears virtually pain free. When performed properly, most people feel little or no discomfort.
​
ARE STUDEX® EAR PIERCING SYSTEMS SAFE??
Yes! All Studex® ear piercing studs and hoops are packaged and sterilized to meet or exceed U.S. FDA standards and EC European regulations.
