Why Titanium at Keisha's
For all our Medusa piercings, we use implant-grade titanium jewellery to ensure maximum safety and comfort. Titanium is lightweight, hypoallergenic, and corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for this piercing located in the philtrum, just above the upper lip. Unlike cheaper metals that can cause irritation or slow healing, our titanium labret studs promote a cleaner, faster healing process, helping your piercing look flawless and feel comfortable from day one.
Aftercare
Clean regularly: Gently rinse twice daily with sterile saline solution; avoid peroxide, alcohol, or harsh soaps. Use a non-alcoholic, antimicrobial mouthwash or sterile saline rinse 2–3 times daily, especially after eating or drinking anything other than water. Pro tips: Don’t twist or play with the jewellery Avoid spicy, acidic, or hot foods and drinks during healing Refrain from smoking, alcohol, and oral contact (e.g., kissing) until fully healed Maintain good oral hygiene but be gentle around the piercing site Use cold drinks or ice chips to help reduce swelling or irritation
Our sterile saline solution (£8.99 at our counter) supports external cleaning and helps promote smooth healing.
