Lip piercing Medusa

The Medusa lip piercing is an elegant and distinctive form of body adornment in which the area above the upper lip, right in the middle below the nasal septum, known as the philtrum, is pierced. An ornament is then inserted into the resulting hole, most often in the form of a labret or a small jewel. This piercing can aesthetically highlight and emphasize the unique features of your face, giving it an attractive and sophisticated look. In our studio, we perform Medusa piercings regularly and with maximum expertise, which allows us to achieve great results and satisfaction of our customers. Our experienced professionals ensure that the highest hygiene standards are followed to ensure that every piercing is safe and hassle-free. We provide a thorough consultation prior to the procedure to ensure you are completely satisfied with the result.

Preparation for Medusa lip piercing

Before the procedure:

  • Sleep well

  • At least eat a little

  • You put on clothes that at the same time would not be a shame to get dirty if a drop of blood got on it, often not even one appears, but it can happen.

Medusa lip piercing procedure

  • Upon arrival at the studio, you will fill in the "Consent to the procedure", which, among other things, will contain contraindications before the Medusa lip piercing and its subsequent care. The absence of contraindications and compliance with the care procedure recommended by us is one of the important conditions for successful healing of the piercing.

  • Next follows a conversation with the piercer. You will discuss the appropriate placement and jewelry for the lip piercing - Medusa, which we will put right away and possibly which you will wear afterwards.

  • Piercer prepares a workplace. The selected Medusa lip piercing jewelry together with the needle will be sterilized for approx. 10 min. During that time, you will have the opportunity to ask anything and specify the necessary information.

  • After sterilization, the piercer will indicate the final injection site for the Medusa lip piercing, disinfect the skin and in a few seconds you will have a new Medusa lip piercing.

  • After the piercing, the piercer will treat the Medusa lip piercing, take a picture of it, if you agree, apply a patch and once again explain the care of the Medusa lip piercing.


Medusa lip piercing healing length

The process of complete healing of a tongue piercing usually takes from 3 to 4 months, sometimes even longer. Complete healing means that the piercing canal is completely covered with new skin.


Medusa lip piercing healing process

  • The piercing almost always overflows, so we first give a longer piece of jewelry, which we exchange for a shorter one in about 1-2 months. Otherwise, there is a risk of frequent tripping over the jewelry and subsequent traumatization.

  • Sometimes it needs to be replaced several times during healing, so if you feel that the jewelry is becoming too long and is in the way, you can ask for it to be shortened.

  • When exchanging jewelry for a shorter one, the price of the jewelry is paid according to the current price list, the service is free if it is an initial healing process.


Piercing care

  • Sterile saline solution: Sterile saline solution is needed for piercing care, which you can buy from us or at a pharmacy in the form of sterile seawater for daily nasal hygiene for infants. Do not use alcohol, hydrogen peroxide or antiseptics to treat the piercing (only if necessary and for a limited time, according to the instructions).

  • Treatment frequency: Treat the piercing 2-3 times a day with clean hands using a cotton swab, cotton pad or gauze.

  • Scab removal: Harder scabs from lymph and blood plasma form around a fresh piercing. Do not scratch them, but first moisten them and when they soften, gently remove them.

  • Stability of the jewelry: Do not move the jewelry during treatment, as this interferes with healing. In no case do not remove the jewelry for cleaning. Do not touch the jewelry with your hands unless they have been washed or disinfected. Avoid touching the piercing with your hands, hair, underwear or clothing.

  • Protection from damage: If you are not sure that the piercing is sufficiently protected from mechanical damage, cover it with a patch. With an unhealed piercing, it is forbidden to visit the swimming pool, sauna and other public swimming pools, including natural ones.

  • Physical activity: During healing, it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise that may cause you to sweat a lot or injure your fresh piercing. Sweat, along with secretions and dirt that stick to it, can lead to infections and inflammation of the piercing. You can safely practice with a piercing, but be careful. After exercising, rinse the piercing with clean water and treat with a saline solution.

  • Piercing problems: If you have a problem with your piercing – burning, pain or pus – contact the studio immediately. Call for urgent cases, write for less urgent cases and attach a photo taken in good light to show the problem. Be very careful when taking a photo with a piercing.

  • Immunity: A piercing is a mechanical damage to the skin, so good immunity plays a big role in the healing process. Take care of your immunity: enough sleep, rest, good food and walks in the fresh air. Consumption of alcohol, drugs and smoking impair immunity and subsequently the healing process.

  • Shortening the jewelry: Some types of piercings require shortening the jewelry after about 6-12 weeks. Sometimes there are several abbreviations. In our studio, you do not pay for the shortening service if you have a piercing from us. Payment is made for jewelry only.

  • Oral hygiene: If you have a piercing in your mouth, use alcohol-free mouthwash and always rinse your mouth for about 15 seconds after eating. If this is not part of your daily dental hygiene, plain clean water (filtered, bottled or boiled) is sufficient. Take care of oral hygiene as it is important to speed up healing.

  • Drink and diet: For the first 3-4 hours after the procedure, drink only water, cold tea or an iced still drink without sugar or alcohol. Then rinse your mouth.

  • Oral sex and kissing: Avoid oral sex and kissing during healing, especially for the first 14 days. Then follow your feelings, it is best not to rush them, so as not to cause trauma.

  • Alcohol and smoking: We do not recommend drinking alcohol and smoking while the oral piercing is healing, as this can cause bleeding. If you are a smoker, you don't have to give up smoking, but try to limit it and rinse your mouth with clean water after smoking.
