In six steps, in sterile conditions

At every step we tell you what is happening and why – so you know what to expect.

  1. 1

    Assessment

    Our service starts with a short assessment: we ask you about the nature, frequency and intensity of your complaints.

    At our Sopron practice you can also ask for an energetic assessment with a meridiM device . The device, developed by Professor Dr. István Széchenyi, shows energetic blocks and imbalances in the body.

    The assessment does not count as a medical examination, and the wellbeing piercing does not replace medical treatment.

    After the assessment we tell you exactly what the steps of the piercing are, where the jewellery will go and what to expect – and we answer all your questions.

  2. 2

    Choosing the jewellery

    We show you all the jewellery so that you can choose the piece (or pieces) you like best. Of course, you don’t get the sample piece but a version of it sterilised in an autoclave and stored hermetically sealed.

    All our piercings are G23 titanium: the highest-quality, hypoallergenic medical-grade metal. A taste of our most popular jewellery below.

    Disinfection

    We spray the surface of the ear with disinfectant to completely rule out the risk of infection and contamination.

    Our instruments are sterile medical instruments, so you don’t need to worry about infection, contamination or any unwanted side effect.

    We sterilise our instruments and jewellery with a closed-chamber autoclave steriliser .

    Point location

    Locating the right point and area in the ear is key to how effectively the piercing will work. (The other such factor is aftercare: a piercing that doesn’t heal properly cannot have its maximum effect.)

    That is why it is important to trust the piercing to an expert with the right qualification and experience.

    Based on our survey of our guests, our migraine, menopause and Shenmen piercings work for 93%, because with healthcare experience and an ear acupuncture qualification we know exactly where to pierce.

    Numbing

    After locating the point, we spray the surface of the ear with a cooling, numbing spray.

    How much does inserting the piercing hurt? Everyone’s pain threshold is different, but afterwards most of our guests just smile at how scared they were – in reality it only causes a little discomfort.

    Watch the feedback from our guest Doroti, who has been free of headaches since her migraine piercing.

    “Well, it didn’t hurt at all.” – our guest Doroti, from the video

    Piercing (insertion)

    A needle and cannula go into the ear, through which we thread the piercing ring, and we quickly close the jewellery. And we’re done!

    After the piercing it is very important to follow the home-care steps: this is how the wound can heal nicely and how the piercing can have its best effect.

    We explain home care after the piercing and also email you a detailed, step-by-step guide – you can also read it here.

    We have made a video of the whole piercing – click the image to watch it.

Sterile instruments for inserting the piercing

What are the possible risks of an ear piercing?

You can read in many places that getting a piercing is dangerous because it can lead to lots of complications. That is indeed true – if you don’t go to an expert.

If you have it done by an expert and follow our home-care advice, a piercing carries about as much risk as having a blood test.

An ear piercing is different from an earring: we place the wellbeing piercing not in soft fatty tissue but in harder cartilage, so healing takes much longer, even months. It is good to know this in advance.

Don’t worry! We are with you throughout the whole healing period, and you can book our free check-up at any time if you need help.

Who is a piercing not recommended for?

If any of the following applies to you, be sure to tell us at the assessment – if necessary, consult your doctor first.

How soon does it take effect?

6weeks

How soon the effect appears varies from body to body. In most cases a positive change can be felt after just a few weeks, but it is definitely worth waiting the full 6 weeks.

If you still feel no effect at all after 6 weeks, we look forward to seeing you for a guarantee piercing: for just the price of the new piece of jewellery, we insert a reinforcing piercing.

Only with us: a free check-up

With your migraine, Shenmen or menopause piercing you get not just a guarantee but also a free check-up consultation if you feel you need us.

  • Is it slow to heal, or is a scar forming?
  • Is there tissue overgrowth, or does it stay sensitive?
  • Do you need a jewellery change or temporary silicone jewellery?

Your wellbeing and healing come first for us too: you can count on us without limits after the piercing as well. In the video you can see how a check-up works.

And if you would like to try one of the wellbeing piercings: it is worth thinking about 2–3 piercings straight away – not only because of the discounted price, but because in many cases they strengthen each other’s effect.
