Labret lip piercing
Labret lip piercing is a stylish and popular form of body adornment in which the area below the lower lip is pierced and then an ornament is inserted into the resulting hole, most often in the form of a labret, which is a barbell with a flat base. This piercing can aesthetically highlight and underline the unique features of your face, giving it an attractive and modern look. In our studio, we perform labret piercings regularly and with maximum expertise, which allows us to achieve great results and the 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.

Preparing for a Labret Lip Piercing
Before the procedure:
Sleep well.
At least eat a little.
You put on clothes that you wouldn't mind getting dirty if a drop of blood got on them. Often, not even one appears, but it can happen.
Labret lip piercing procedure
Upon arrival at the studio, you will fill out the "Consent to the procedure", which will include, among other things, contraindications before the Labret lip piercing and subsequent care for it. 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.
This is followed by a conversation with the piercer. You will discuss the appropriate placement and jewelry for the Labret lip piercing, which we will insert immediately and, if necessary, which you will wear afterwards.
The piercer will prepare a work area. The selected jewelry for the Labret lip piercing along with the needle will be sterilized for about 10 minutes. During that time, you will have the opportunity to ask any questions and clarify the necessary information.
After sterilization, the piercer will mark the final puncture site for the Labret piercing, disinfect the skin, and within a few seconds you will have a new Labret piercing.
After the piercing, the piercer will treat the lip piercing - Labret, take a photo of it if you agree, cover it with a patch, and explain to you once again how to care for your Labret piercing.
Labret lip piercing healing time
The process of complete healing of a tongue piercing usually takes 3 to 4 months, sometimes longer. Complete healing means that the piercing canal is completely covered with new skin.
Labret lip piercing healing process
The piercing almost always swells, so we first put in a longer piece of jewelry, which we replace with a shorter one after about 1-2 months. Otherwise, there is a risk of frequent insertion of 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 getting in the way, you can ask for it to be shortened.
When exchanging a piece of 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 the initial healing process.
Labret Lip Piercing Care
Sterile saline solution : For the care of the piercing, a sterile saline solution is required, which you can buy from us or at the 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 of lymph and blood plasma form around a fresh piercing. Do not scratch them, but moisten them first and gently remove them when they soften.
Jewelry Stability : Do not move the jewelry during treatment as this will interfere with healing. Never remove the jewelry for cleaning. Do not touch the jewelry with your hands unless they are 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 plaster. It is forbidden to visit the swimming pool, sauna and other public swimming pools, including natural ones, with an unhealed piercing.
Physical activity : During healing, it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise that could cause you to sweat a lot or damage your fresh piercing. Sweat, along with the substances you excrete and dirt that stick to it, can lead to infections and inflammation of the piercing. It is safe to exercise with your piercing, but be careful. After exercising, rinse your piercing with clean water and treat it with saline solution.
Piercing Problems : If you have a problem with your piercing – it burns, hurts or pussies – contact the studio immediately. For acute cases, call, for less acute cases, write and attach a photo taken in good light so that the problem can be seen. Be very careful when taking a photo with the piercing.
Immunity : Piercing is a mechanical damage to the skin, so good immunity plays a big role in the healing process. Take care of your immunity: get enough sleep, rest, good food and walks in the fresh air. Alcohol, drug consumption and smoking worsen immunity and consequently the healing process.
Jewelry shortening : Some types of piercings require jewelry shortening after about 6-12 weeks. Sometimes it involves several shortenings. In our studio, you do not pay for the shortening service if you have a piercing from us. You only pay for the jewelry.
Oral hygiene : If you have a piercing in your mouth, use an alcohol-free mouthwash and rinse your mouth for about 15 seconds after each meal. If this is not part of your daily dental hygiene routine, plain clean water (filtered, bottled or boiled) will do. Pay attention to oral hygiene, as it is important for speeding up healing.
Drink and food : For the first 3-4 hours after the procedure, drink only water, cold tea or iced still drinks without sugar and alcohol. Rinse your mouth afterwards.
Oral sex and kissing : Avoid oral sex and kissing during healing, especially for the first 14 days. After that, follow your feelings, it is best not to rush them to avoid trauma.
Alcohol and smoking : We do not recommend drinking alcohol or smoking while your oral piercing is healing, as this can cause bleeding. If you are a smoker, you do not have to give up smoking, but try to limit it and rinse your mouth with clean water after smoking.
