At Express Med Spa, we welcome clients from 6 months and older for ear piercing services. Our medical professionals are specially trained in pediatric ear piercing, making us a trusted choice for children's first ear piercing. We create a calm, child-friendly environment and take extra time to ensure young clients feel comfortable and secure. Parents appreciate our medical expertise and gentle approach, especially for infant ear piercing and young children's first piercing experience.

Our medical-grade piercing process is quick, precise, and virtually painless. We begin with a thorough consultation to discuss placement options and jewelry selection. The area is carefully marked and cleaned, and we use a specialized piercing system that's gentler than traditional piercing guns. The entire procedure takes about 15-20 minutes, including the consultation and aftercare instructions. Many clients report feeling only a brief pinch during the actual piercing, which takes just seconds per ear.

We exclusively use medical-grade titanium earrings designed specifically for new piercings.

At Express Med Spa, we exclusively use professional piercing instruments rather than traditional piercing guns because they're significantly safer and more precise. Unlike piercing guns, which can cause tissue trauma and cannot be properly sterilized, our medical-grade piercing systems use sterile, single-use needles designed for optimal healing. Professional piercing instruments allow our licensed practitioners to create clean, precise piercings while minimizing discomfort and reducing the risk of complications. [Key Benefits of Professional Instruments:]✓ Proper sterilization possible
✓ Less tissue trauma
