What is the risk of infection?
When your piercing is done here, the risk of infection (if you follow the aftercare precisely as directed) is virtually none. See the information about our studio’s Clean and Sterile Shop. However, if a piercing is positively identified as infected, it may be advisable to leave the jewelry in so the infection can drain. Note: many doctors have no training or little to no experience in piercing, and many have, and may not know how to best advise you.
Our partner hospital has successfully treated hundreds of our patients with no cases of cross infection. Should a patient be found to have an infection on arrival, they are isolated and treated accordingly. If a secondary infection did occur, it would manifest itself during the stay in hospital. Belgium has one of the lowest secondary infection rate is in Europe. So far, all our clients have remained free of secondary infections.
