Facial Piercings in Vancouver
Different Types of Facial Piercings
The eyebrow piercing is still one of the most popular options we offer – placed vertically or horizontally through the brow, it adds edge without being overwhelming. A bridge piercing sits across the skin between the eyes at the top of the nose, and works beautifully on clients with a defined brow structure.
If you're after something softer, the Monroe piercing nods to old Hollywood with a single stud above the upper lip. For something more symbolic, a third eye piercing – a dermal set in the centre of the forehead – is one of the most eye-catching placements around.
More advanced placements include the jaw piercing and the deeper mandible piercing, both of which trace the lower face and need careful anatomical assessment. We also offer cheek dimple piercings, anti-eyebrow placements below the eye, and facial dermal piercing options that sit flush with the skin. Each one has its own personality, and we'll help you find the options that actually work for your features.
Consultation & Placement
Every appointment starts with a proper conversation. Before anything touches your skin, we talk through what you want, look at your anatomy, and map out placements that will heal well and age well.
- Anatomy check – we assess your facial structure, skin tension, and any existing piercings
- Jewellery selection – you choose from our in-house collection of implant-grade pieces
- Marking – we dot the placement and adjust until you're genuinely happy with it
- The piercing – performed with a single-use needle, quickly and calmly
- Aftercare – you leave with written instructions and a direct line to your piercer
The goal is simple: no rushed decisions, no surprises, and a result you're excited about.
Healing Time
Healing times vary quite a bit depending on the placement and your body. Surface and dermal work around the eyebrow, forehead, or cheekbone usually takes 3 to 9 months to settle, while deeper tissue placements along the jaw or mandible can need 6 to 12 months – sometimes longer. Early on, expect some swelling, light crusting, and tenderness; all of that is normal. The tricky part is that a piercing often looks healed on the outside well before the inside catches up, so sticking with your aftercare the whole way through is what really makes the difference between a piercing that thrives and one that gives you trouble down the line.
Aftercare Tips
A few simple habits go a long way:
- Clean the area with sterile saline as recommended by your piercer
- Don't touch, twist, or rotate the jewellery
- Keep makeup, skincare, and hair products well away from the site
- Use a clean pillowcase and try not to sleep on the piercing
- Skip pools, hot tubs, and lakes until it's fully healed
- Eat well and stay hydrated – your body heals with what you give it
- Leave the jewellery alone until your piercer confirms it's safe to swap
