The procedure is used to correct earlobes that have been deformed by increasing the diameter of the piercing or by wearing heavy earrings.
Gift products include: Extremely Green ($90), certified-organic skin, hair and body care products; and Peace of Mind ($10), a mixture of essential oils (peppermint, basil and eucalyptus) that when dabbed onto the neck, temples and earlobes helps to reduce feelings of tension and stress.
The warning comes after research published in the British Medical Journal estimated that one in 10 adults in England have piercings somewhere other than their earlobes.
