Eyebrow Piercing: A Guide for Girls
An eyebrow piercing is a type of surface piercing located anywhere along the eyebrow. It's a relatively popular piercing choice, especially amongst younger people. Here's what you need to know:
Placement & Types:
- The most common placement is a vertical piercing through the outer edge of the eyebrow.
- Other options include horizontal eyebrow piercings, anti-eyebrow piercings (located below the eye near the cheekbone), and multiple eyebrow piercings.
- The piercer will mark the entry and exit points with a surgical pen before the procedure.
The Piercing Process:
- The area will be cleaned and disinfected.
- A sterile, hollow needle is used to create the piercing.
- Jewelry is immediately inserted.
- The procedure is relatively quick, but you will feel a sharp pinch.
Pain Level:
- The pain level is generally considered to be low to moderate. It is often described as a quick, sharp pinch.
Jewelry:
- Common jewelry types include curved barbells, captive bead rings, and sometimes straight barbells.
- The initial jewelry is usually slightly longer to accommodate swelling.
- After healing, you can downsize to a more snug fit.
- Material choices include surgical steel, titanium, and bioplast, with titanium often being recommended for initial piercings due to its hypoallergenic properties.
Healing:
- Eyebrow piercings typically take 6-8 weeks to heal completely, but it can vary.
- Proper aftercare is essential to prevent infection and promote healing.
Aftercare:
- Clean the piercing twice a day with a saline solution (either a sterile saline wound wash or a homemade solution).
- Avoid touching the piercing with dirty hands.
- Avoid using harsh soaps, alcohol, or hydrogen peroxide, as these can irritate the piercing.
- Avoid wearing makeup or skincare products near the piercing during the healing period.
- Avoid sleeping on the piercing.
- Avoid swimming in pools, hot tubs, or other bodies of water.
- Be gentle when cleaning and drying the area.
- Do not rotate or move the jewelry unnecessarily.
Risks & Complications:
- Infection is a risk with any piercing. Signs of infection include redness, swelling, pain, pus, and fever. Seek medical attention if you suspect an infection.
- Rejection is when the body pushes the piercing out. This is more common with surface piercings because they don't go through a thick layer of tissue.
- Migration is when the piercing moves slightly from its original placement.
- Scarring can occur if the piercing is not properly cared for or if it rejects.
- Nerve damage is a rare but possible risk. Choose a reputable piercer to minimize this risk.
Choosing a Piercer:
- Research piercers in your area and read reviews.
- Make sure the piercer is licensed and experienced.
- The studio should be clean and sterile.
- The piercer should use single-use, disposable needles.
- The piercer should be willing to answer your questions and address your concerns.
Considerations for Girls:
- Makeup can irritate the piercing during healing. Be careful when applying and removing makeup near the area.
- Consider the placement of the piercing in relation to your hairstyle.
- Be aware that eyebrow piercings can be visible and may not be suitable for all professional or social settings.
Removal:
- If you decide to remove the piercing, simply take out the jewelry.
- The hole will usually close up on its own, but a small scar may remain.
