Nickel is one of the most common causes of allergic contact dermatitis (a skin rash or irritation caused by allergens). In fact, over 18% of people in North America are allergic to nickel, including 11 million children! Medical grade earrings are the answer in helping to prevent earring induced nickel allergies in the first place.
At Nicole's Piercing Boutique we use medical grade titanium and medical grade plastic earrings for the pediatric ear piercing services we perform in the Philadelphia area. These earrings are safe, hygienic, hypoallergenic, and biocompatible, and we use FDA approved medical piercing equipment for all our pediatric ear piercings.
Titanium is one of the safest metals to use for jewelry. It's bacteria-resistant, won't cause allergies, and is biocompatible with human skin. And medical grade titanium makes some of the most comfortable earrings you can wear, even if you have sensitive ears. At Nicole's Piercing Boutique we use Blomdahl's PURE medical grade titanium for our Philadelphia area pediatric ear piercings.
We use Blomdahl medical grade plastic earrings, which contain NO nickel. They are naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial. Most of all, medical grade plastic makes pretty earrings that anyone can wear, even if you suffer from allergies and have skin sensitivities. Medical grade plastic are durable, lightweight, and fun to wear.
The Blomdahl earrings we use for our Philadelphia pediatric ear piercing services are designed and made in Sweden, and we have full control over the entire process. We check and record everything so that we can guarantee that the jewelry is kind to your baby's skin.
