Luna Health DPC, a membership-based direct primary care practice serving families in southeastern Massachusetts, today announced the launch of professional medical ear piercing services for children at its Plainville office. The new service gives parents a safe, clean, and medically supervised environment to have their child’s ears pierced, a trusted alternative to mall kiosks and jewelry store counters.
The Cleanliness Problem with Mall Kiosks
When parents take their child to a mall kiosk or jewelry store for ear piercing, they are typically in a high-traffic retail environment where cleanliness standards are far below those of a medical office. Surfaces are shared, equipment is handled by many people throughout the day, and staff are rarely trained in infection control or sterile technique.
At Luna Health, ear piercings take place in a licensed medical office held to the same sanitation and safety standards as any clinical procedure. Surfaces are properly disinfected, our doctors follow strict hand hygiene protocols, and every instrument that touches a child’s ear is sterile and single-use.
The Blomdahl System: Built for Safety
Luna Health performs all ear piercings using the Blomdahl Medical Ear Piercing system, developed in Sweden and used by medical professionals and healthcare providers around the world for over 30 years.
The Blomdahl system was designed from the ground up with child safety in mind. Unlike retail piercing guns, Blomdahl uses a single-use, sterile cartridge for every piercing. The instrument that touches the ear is never reused or re-sterilized between patients, eliminating any risk of cross-contamination. The piercing motion is smooth and controlled, placing the earring gently through the tissue rather than forcing it with pressure. This significantly reduces trauma to the earlobe and lowers the risk of complications such as keloids, embedded jewelry, or infection.
All Blomdahl earrings used at Luna Health are made from medical grade titanium or medical plastic, materials that are hypoallergenic, nickel-free, and specifically chosen for their biocompatibility in piercing applications. These materials are the same class used in surgical implants and medical devices, making them safe even for children with the most sensitive skin.
Safe for Babies and Young Children
The service is available for children as young as 2 months of age (following their first DTaP vaccine) through teenagers. Parents can feel confident knowing the procedure is being performed by an experienced medical professional in the same clean, well-equipped office where their child receives primary care.
Every appointment includes medical grade piercing studs, sterile aftercare wipes, and personalized healing instructions from the Luna Health care team.
Affordable for Luna Health Families
Luna Health members receive 50% off as part of their Direct Primary Care membership benefits. Families who are not yet members are also welcome to book an appointment.
Appointments can be booked online or by calling the Plainville office directly.
