Never expose children to products containing nickel. Blomdahl's medical-grade plastic is the only material in the world used for ear piercings that is completely nickel-free. That’s why we recommend it for both children and adults as a product that is entirely safe for the skin.
The first ear piercing is an important event for both children and parents. However, no matter how skilled you are at performing the procedure, there is always a risk that the child may decide against getting the second ear pierced. We have a solution – with the Blomdahl system, you can pierce both ears simultaneously.
Air circulation at the piercing site promotes better healing. The patented stopper from Blomdahl rests on a lock placed on the post, completely covering the sharp end of the stud. The stopper stays at a safe distance from the earlobe and cannot be pressed against it, allowing air to freely reach the piercing site. The Blomdahl stopper is the key to fast healing of the wound created by the ear piercing.
Both the earring and the stopper are placed in a sterile case by Blomdahl, ensuring that there is no risk of accidental contact with the earring by hands or the client's ear. At the same time, the case is designed in such a way that it allows easy access to the earlobe. Simply press the trigger, and the device does all the work. There is no faster or more painless method. Blomdahl guarantees maximum protection.
For ear piercing, we use earrings with slightly thicker posts than regular earrings. Why? After removing the earring in the sixth week following the piercing, the hole immediately starts to shrink. A thicker post provides an additional safety margin. This allows you to easily wear Blomdahl jewelry earrings without putting the delicate walls of the hole at risk of irritation or infection. That’s why Blomdahl ear-piercing earrings have slightly thicker posts than regular earrings.
The wound from an ear piercing takes over a year to fully heal. During this time, the risk of developing a nickel allergy is the highest. That’s why we’ve developed a wide range of skin-safe earrings – Skin Friendly Jewellery. Take care of your safety. Six weeks after the ear piercing (cartilage – at 12 weeks), it is essential to replace the piercing earrings with Blomdahl hypoallergenic earrings with a thinner post.
By wearing Blomdahl hypoallergenic earrings for at least a year after the piercing, you minimize the risk of developing a nickel allergy. These earrings are also recommended for people who already have a nickel allergy and cannot wear any other earrings.
Around 10% of the population is allergic to gold. That's why leading dermatologists do not recommend using gold products for ear piercings or wearing gold earrings during the initial healing period.
Blomdahl has developed the best solution – Golden Titanium. The visible part of the earring is coated with a gold-colored plating, while the part directly in contact with the skin is made of pure medical-grade titanium. Similarly, earrings with a silver-colored coating are made from Silver Titanium. Earrings made entirely of pure medical-grade titanium are also available – Natural Titanium, which are equally safe from a medical perspective.
All metals (even precious metals such as gold, silver, and platinum) contain nickel, at least as an alloy component. Nickel is an allergenic material. Therefore, we have developed ear-piercing earrings and hypoallergenic jewelry made from medical-grade plastic with zero (0%) nickel content, and from pure medical-grade titanium (Pure Medical Titanium). This eliminates the possibility of developing a nickel allergy. Surgical plastic earrings are particularly recommended for children and adults who want absolute assurance that no allergic reaction to nickel will occur during the healing process after an ear piercing.
