Whether you are booking a first ear piercing for a child or updating your own ear jewellery,
our trained clinicians provide reassurance, expertise, and careful aftercare guidance at every step.

Professional Ear Piercing You Can Trust

Unlike high-street piercing studios, our ear piercing service is delivered in a pharmacy-led
clinical setting. This means strict hygiene controls, trained professionals, and clear safety
protocols are always followed.

Our approach prioritises:

  • Patient safety
  • Infection prevention
  • Comfort and reassurance
  • Clear aftercare support

This makes our clinic a trusted choice for ear piercing in South Manchester.

Piercing Methods Used

We use clinically approved ear piercing systems designed specifically for safe use in healthcare
environments.

Medical-Grade Piercing Systems

Our piercing systems are:

  • Single-use and sterile
  • Pre-sealed until point of use
  • Designed to minimise trauma to the ear

These systems allow for quick, precise piercing while reducing discomfort and supporting proper healing.

Why We Do Not Use Piercing Guns

Traditional piercing guns can cause unnecessary pressure and tissue damage.

Our medical-grade systems are designed for use by trained professionals and are far more suitable
for a clinical setting.

 

Safety and Hygiene Standards

Safety is central to our ear piercing service.

We adhere to strict hygiene standards, including:

  • Thorough hand hygiene and PPE use
  • Sterilised, single-use equipment
  • Medical-grade jewellery
  • Clean, controlled treatment areas
  • Full aftercare explanation before and after piercing

As part of Heald Green Pharmacy, our clinic operates to professional healthcare standards,
offering peace of mind for parents and patients alike.
