How to remove stud earrings after being punctured with a gun?
Puncture of earlobes in the salon, as a rule, is carried out with a pistol, into which a special sterile stud earring is tucked. Since during the procedure, the machine secures the clasp very tightly, it is not always easy to remove it when it comes time to change the jewelry.
If we compare studs with earrings with an English lock, then in both cases the products are closed in two clicks, making it possible to adjust the tightness of the earring to the earlobe, but in the second case it is much easier to remove the jewelry due to the movable detail. In the first, it is not always possible to cope with this task manually. Everyone who has ever encountered this problem wondered how to remove a stud earring after a puncture with a gun, so as not to injure the ear.
A Few Tips
When it comes time to get medical earrings out of your ears, it should be understood that the puncture site needs careful handling after recent healing, you need to act as carefully as possible. Without aids, it is not always possible to cope without damaging the ear, so at first you can only manually move the clasp a little, without trying to remove it completely.
Next, you should prepare cotton pads and healing hygiene products for the care of the puncture site (hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, chlorhexidine), and you will also need scissors with rounded ends, which should fit into the holes of the fastener.
Before starting the procedure, you need to process your earlobe, hands and scissors. Holding the earring by the stud itself, slightly open the scissors, the ends of which are inside the clasp, and pull towards you.
You can also use regular eyebrow tweezers with non-pointed ends. With their help, it will be possible to firmly hold the fastener and, as in the first case, pull it towards you, holding the nail itself.
It should be noted that it is not recommended to remove the jewelry until the puncture is completely healed. The tissue around the puncture should not be swollen, this will facilitate the extraction process and will not cause unnecessary discomfort. After finishing, immediately process the earlobe again and it is advisable to let it rest for at least an hour, only after that pick up a new earring.
Tips for choosing a second jewelry
When it comes time to choose accessories, remember that new punctures require attention and care. You should not stop your choice of the second pair on silver jewelry, as this material oxidizes and can harm fresh holes. Products made of low-quality gilded materials, costume jewelry are strongly discouraged.
If we talk about the diameter of the base of the earring, then you should not take very thin ones, since fresh canals are rapidly overgrowing and in the future there may be difficulties with earrings of a different thickness. Of the fasteners, it is better to give preference to silicone ones, since they are easy to use, soft to the touch and it will not be difficult to remove them.
What to do if difficulties arise?
It may happen that the jewelry fits very tightly and does not lend itself to any influence. In this case, it is better to stop any attempts to do this at home and turn to any salon for professional help. It is not only people with ear piercings that experience difficulties in removing earrings, it is quite difficult to remove jewelry from other parts of the body.
For example, barbells are used for navel piercing, which, despite being manually fixed by a master, are much harder and more painful to remove. The clasp of such a decoration is in the form of a ball, which is difficult to grasp due to the fact that it will slip, in such cases it is also better to seek the help of a specialist.
Myths and professional advice
- The healing time of the hole is different for everyone, but with proper care and adherence to all precautions, it is about three weeks.
- Professionals recommend piercing with a special machine only in the earlobe. Elsewhere, such as the cartilage of the ear, navel, wings of the nose and lips, is strongly discouraged. The punctured part may become deformed and the healing may be delayed.
- After carrying out such a small operation as piercing of ears or other parts of the body, it is not recommended for the first time to take too hot a bath or visit the bathhouse and pool. After steaming the puncture site, the healing process will be long and painful.
- Clean seawater is beneficial for puncture healing.
- You should not settle for piercing when the body is recovering after surgery and illness.
- During a session in the salon, the visitor can always ask for anesthesia.
- There is an opinion that there are more than a hundred active points in the earlobe, which are responsible for hearing, vision and the work of internal organs. And if you make an unsuccessful puncture and hit any of them, the work of any of these feelings may be disrupted. This is just a myth. Of course, these zones do exist, but not in the area of the lobe.
