Piercing in Lviv at the Mediostar Clinic

Piercing is one of the methods used to decorate the body. Decorative objects made of simple or precious metals or other materials are “put on” in specially created holes. Ear piercing remains the most popular type of piercing, but fashion is inexorable. It dictates its own rules and generates new trends, so girls and boys often pierce a variety of body parts.

Decorative elements on the body attract attention, emphasizing certain advantages or “highlights” of a particular person. In some places, jewelry looks especially stylish. In general, in addition to the ears, the following are often used for piercing:

• nose;
• eyebrows;
• lips;
• navel;
• tongue and other areas.

How piercing is done in Mediostar

Although piercing does not seem complicated, it is a medical procedure, so it must be performed by a doctor. To make a puncture, it takes a few seconds, you just need to determine the place in advance. The preparatory process takes much more time and effort, because it depends on it what the client will get in the end – a beautiful body decoration or an infection and a long rehabilitation period. By adhering to certain conditions, you can achieve an ideal result. What does a specialist at Mediostar do during the procedure:

1. Uses gloves and sterile needles to prevent the transfer of contamination and infections.
2. Cleans and disinfects not only the jewelry, but also the equipment using a high-temperature autoclave, which kills pathogenic bacteria.
3. Disinfects and marks the place of the future puncture.
4. Makes the puncture using a needle with a cap. The cap remains in the hole, stretching it. After the jewelry takes the desired place, you can remove the excess element.
5. Treats the wound.

Is piercing done with a special gun? This is possible if it is a piercing of the ear. In other cases, using this device will be impractical, because its shape does not allow for painless and delicate piercing of other parts of the body. Moreover, some of the parts of the gun are made of plastic, so it cannot be sterilized.

Specialists of the Mediostar clinic in Lviv have a negative attitude towards using a gun that is not equipped with needles. In salons, the device is loaded with jewelry that has blunt edges, so they actually tear the skin due to the great force of impact. Such a puncture cannot be called painless, and the healing of the wound itself will not be quick. In addition, the jewelry that manufacturers offer to complete the gun is often of low quality, which also causes complications. If you pay attention to the shape of the earrings, you can see that it is not very successful, therefore it complicates the care process and slows down healing.

Given the imperfection of the gun, the masters prefer thin needles. They differ in shape, as they are designed for the most painless piercing of various parts of the body, which can later be decorated with products made of a variety of materials – wood, gold, platinum, etc. At first, it is recommended to wear earrings made of titanium, bioplastic or medical metal.

After-piercing care

Piercing is a surgical intervention in Lviv, although minor and practically painless. To prevent complications, it is worth following the necessary rehabilitation rules. The doctor will tell the patient about them in detail. In general:

• The first 2 weeks after the procedure, the wound should be treated with an antiseptic at least 2 times a day. In the case of a tongue piercing, it is advisable to use special mouthwashes.
• It is forbidden to swim in water bodies or visit saunas, as this threatens infection and longer wound healing.
• It is worth taking water procedures as carefully as possible. To clean the earring from discharge and dirt, you should turn it without removing it from the hole. The jewelry can be removed only after the wound has completely healed. There are exceptions to the rules, and in such cases the master himself will inform you about it.
• When piercing the lips or tongue, you should rinse your mouth after any meal. It is also recommended to give up alcohol and smoking.
• When choosing clothes, you should pay attention to the fact that it is comfortable and does not touch the jewelry installed in the puncture site.

The procedure must be performed by a professional so that it goes perfectly and does not cause complications. The lack of the necessary qualifications and disregard for the rules leads to injury and infection. To avoid a tragedy, use the services of specialists. At the Mediostar clinic, piercing is performed in compliance with all standards and recommendations. After completing the necessary manipulations, the doctor will instruct you on how to properly care for the puncture site, and it is worth considering that everything is individual, the duration of regeneration varies.
