- Ear piercing appointments should be separate from a physical appointment.
- Non-CMG patients may call to schedule an appointment for this service
- We generally do not provide numbing medicine as the procedure is generally quick and the creams can make the process messy and slippery. Our goal is to achieve the best cosmetic results.
