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.
CAN STUDEX EAR PIERCING SYSTEMS BE USED FOR BODY PIERCING?
No! STUDEX ear piercing products are designed to safely pierce the ear lobe and outer cartilage of the ear. STUDEX ear piercing products should not be used to pierce other parts of the body.
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 to 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 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.
