Lävistysprosessiin

Lävistysprosessiin is a Finnish term that translates to "piercing process" in English. It refers to the series of steps and considerations involved in obtaining a body piercing. This process typically begins with research and choosing a reputable piercer and studio. Factors such as hygiene standards, experience, and the piercer's portfolio are important.

Before the piercing is performed, the piercer will discuss the client's desired placement, jewelry options, and aftercare instructions. A consultation allows for any questions to be answered and to ensure the client is comfortable and informed. Once a decision is made, the area to be pierced is cleaned thoroughly, and often marked to guide the piercer.

The actual piercing is usually done with a sterile needle. The needle is passed through the skin in a swift motion, and the jewelry is immediately inserted into the created channel. Pain levels can vary depending on the location and individual tolerance, but it is generally described as a sharp, brief sensation.

Following the piercing, meticulous aftercare is crucial for proper healing and to prevent infection. This involves cleaning the piercing regularly with a recommended saline solution or antiseptic, avoiding touching the jewelry with unwashed hands, and refraining from swimming or exposing the piercing to harsh chemicals. Healing times can range from weeks to months, depending on the piercing type and individual factors. It is important to follow the piercer's specific aftercare advice.
