Nenälävistysten

Nenälävistykset refer to piercings that are placed in or on the nose. These piercings have a long history across various cultures and are worn for decorative, spiritual, or social reasons. The most common types of nose piercings include the nostril, septum, and bridge piercings.

A nostril piercing is placed through the side of the nostril. Jewelry commonly worn includes studs, rings, and barbells. The healing time for a nostril piercing can vary but typically takes between two to six months.

The septum piercing goes through the thin wall of cartilage that separates the nostrils. This area is known as the septum. Jewelry such as rings, horseshoes, and curved barbells are popular choices for septum piercings. Healing for a septum piercing is also generally within the two to six-month range.

A bridge piercing is a surface piercing located across the bridge of the nose, between the eyes. This type of piercing does not go through cartilage or bone but through the skin and tissue on the surface. Bridge piercings can have a higher risk of rejection or migration due to their nature as surface piercings. Healing times can be longer, often six months or more.

When getting a nose piercing, it is crucial to seek a professional and experienced piercer who follows sterile procedures. Aftercare is essential for proper healing and involves regular cleaning with a saline solution. While generally safe, potential risks include infection, allergic reactions to jewelry materials, and scarring. The choice of jewelry material, such as surgical stainless steel, titanium, or gold, can also impact healing and minimize allergic responses.
