Neulalävistys

Neulalävistys, also known as needle piercing, refers to the method of creating body piercings using a sterile, hollow-core needle. This technique is favored by professional piercers over piercing guns, which are often used for earlobes and can cause significant trauma to the tissue. Needles are designed for a single use, ensuring sterility and minimizing the risk of infection. The sharp, hollow point of the needle cleanly pierces the skin and tissue, creating a precise channel for jewelry insertion. This method is generally considered to be more accurate and less painful than using a piercing gun, as it creates a smooth, clean cut rather than tearing or crushing the tissue.

The process of a neulalävistys typically involves marking the desired piercing location, sterilizing the area, and then swiftly inserting the needle. Jewelry is then threaded through the fresh piercing. Aftercare instructions are crucial for proper healing, which varies depending on the location of the piercing. Common aftercare advice includes cleaning the piercing with a saline solution and avoiding excessive movement or irritation of the jewelry. Potential risks associated with any piercing, including neulalävistys, include infection, allergic reactions to jewelry materials, and keloid formation. Choosing a reputable and experienced piercer who adheres to strict hygiene protocols is paramount to a safe and successful piercing experience.
