Why Choose Medical-Grade Ear Piercing?

Medical-grade ear piercing is different from retail or mall piercing in important ways.

At Whole Pediatrics Group, ear piercing is performed in a medical setting, using medical-grade Blomdahl® devices designed specifically for safety, precision, and reduced tissue trauma.

What Makes Medical-Grade Piercing Different?

  • Sterile, single-use cartridges
  • Nickel-free, medical-grade jewelry
  • Clinical assessment before piercing
  • Calm, child-centered environment
  • Focus on safety, not speed

While ear piercing is elective and cosmetic in nature, performing it in a medical setting helps minimize risks such as infection, allergic reaction, and improper placement.

This service is offered as a one-time, self-pay option for families who value safety, medical oversight, and thoughtful care.
