What is the Rowan Clinical Piercing Standard?

The Rowan Clinical Piercing Standard is a set of stringent protocols and training guidelines developed to prioritize client safety at every step of the ear piercing process. Rooted in medical best practices, this standard encompasses sterilized equipment, the exclusive use of hypoallergenic earrings, and detailed aftercare support. Designed to align with a nurse’s professional training and ethical standards, it offers a safer, more hygienic experience for clients of all ages, and it’s helped us to achieve an adverse reaction rate of less than 1% compared to the industry average of 30%. 

Key components of the Rowan Clinical Piercing Standard include:

- Piercings by licensed nurses: Nurses, by virtue of their training and daily practice, have a thorough understanding of the human body's anatomy and the mechanisms of infection. Nurses are well equipped to handle any complications that might arise, reducing the risk of injury or infection, and making the procedure safer and more reliable.

- Hypoallergenic earrings always: Research indicates that the quality of the earrings used matters just as much as the piercing procedure itself. Rowan uses only high-quality, hypoallergenic metals to reduce the risk of allergic reactions, infections, and irritation.

- Aftercare is not an afterthought: Rowan nurses provide clear, personalized aftercare instructions and offer our Advanced Aftercare Solution to support optimal healing and reduce the risk of complications.
