Implant Grade Titanium Jewelry for Piercings

Implant grade titanium jewelry is specifically manufactured to meet high standards of biocompatibility and purity, making it safe for use in piercings. At Vanity Touch Aesthetic Enhancements, we only pierce with this material to encourage happy and healthy piercings. Here are the key reasons why implant grade titanium jewelry is considered safe:

  1. Biocompatibility: Implant grade titanium is hypoallergenic, meaning it is unlikely to cause allergic reactions. This is crucial for piercings, where the jewelry is in direct contact with the skin for extended periods.

  2. Purity: Implant grade titanium undergoes rigorous processing to ensure purity. It typically meets specific standards such as ASTM F136 (for commercially pure titanium) or ASTM F67 (for alloyed titanium), which regulate the composition and properties of materials used in medical implants.

  3. Corrosion Resistance: Titanium is highly resistant to corrosion in the human body environment, which helps prevent the release of harmful substances into the piercing site.

  4. Lightweight and Durable: Titanium jewelry is lightweight and durable, making it comfortable to wear and less prone to damage compared to other metals.

  5. Low Magnetic Permeability: Titanium has low magnetic permeability, reducing the risk of interference with medical imaging techniques like MRI scans.

  6. Ease of Sterilization: Implant grade titanium can be effectively sterilized, which is crucial for maintaining hygiene and reducing the risk of infections during and after the piercing process.

  7. Industry Standards: The jewelry industry and professional piercers often recommend implant grade titanium as one of the safest materials for initial piercings and for individuals with sensitive skin or allergies.

In summary, implant grade titanium jewelry is safe for piercings due to its biocompatibility, purity, corrosion resistance, and other favourable properties that minimize risks associated with wearing jewelry in fresh or healed piercings. It's always advisable to consult with a professional piercer who uses high-quality materials to ensure the safety and comfort of your piercing experience. At Vanity Touch, our clients can feel confident knowing more about the quality of the jewelry we use for all piercings we offer.
