Therapeutic Piercings

When piercings are more than just jewellery — therapeutic applications for well-being and health

Piercings are not just about aesthetics — certain piercings can also offer therapeutic benefits. Based on principles of acupuncture and practical medical applications, some types of piercings have established themselves as helpful complements for various conditions.

At XS Piercing, we have years of experience with therapeutic piercings and are happy to provide thorough advice about the possibilities and realistic expectations.

Daith piercing for migraine relief

Migraine Piercing

(Daith Piercing)

From CHF 130 / 150

The daith piercing is placed through the innermost cartilage fold of the ear — precisely at a point that is associated with the treatment of migraines and headaches in acupuncture.

Numerous clients report a significant reduction in migraine frequency and intensity after getting a daith piercing. Some even experience complete relief from their symptoms.

Client testimonials:

  • Reduction of migraine days from 10+ to 2-3 per month

Shen Men piercing on ear

Shen Men Piercing

(The Divine Gate Point)

From CHF 130 / 150

The Shen Men point is located on the upper inner part of the ear and is one of the most important points in auricular acupuncture. It is also known as the "Divine Gate" or "Heavenly Gate" point.

A piercing at this acupuncture point can, according to testimonials, produce the following effects:

  • Stress reduction — Decrease in tension and inner restlessness
  • Anxiety relief — Calming effect on anxiety disorders
  • Better sleep — Support for sleep disorders
  • Pain relief — General reduction of pain perception

Inverted Nipple Correction

(Through nipple piercing)

From CHF 120 / 140

Inverted nipples are a widespread phenomenon that can be distressing for many affected individuals. A nipple piercing can in many cases offer a simple and cost-effective solution.

The piercing permanently holds the nipple in an outward-facing position and prevents it from retracting. Compared to surgical procedures, this method offers decisive advantages:

  • Significantly cheaper than a surgical correction
  • No surgery required — minimally invasive, pain-free with local anaesthesia
  • Immediate result — the nipple is visible right after the procedure
  • Reversible — can be removed if needed
  • Aesthetically appealing — the piercing doubles as jewellery
