Piercing Aftercare
A safe & happy healing starts with proper aftercare. Here's how:
Healing Period:
Lobe: 3 - 6 months
Helix, Forward Helix, Flat, Conch, Tragus, Nostril: 6 - 12 months
Rook, Daith, Anti-tragus: 9 - 12 months
Be extra careful not to get your piercing tangled when you change clothes & putting on mask/hijab.
Wash your hands before touching your new piercings. Keep the piercing clean & dry after shower, swimming or any other sport activities.
Disinfect anything that goes in, on, or around your piercings daily to decrease the risk of bacteria. This includes cellphone, headphone, headband, etc.
Gently clean the front & back of your piercing with a cotton bud soaked in Piercing Care Solution 2-3 times a day.
Earrings should only be replaced once the piercing has healed. Criteria for healing: No fluid coming out of the piercing hole, no redness, pain, blood & bumps in the piercing area.
Downsizing for cartilage piercing is needed for a better healing process. Read more on downsizing.
TIPS FROM YOUR PIERCER:
It is recommended to wait until you have fully healed before wearing bigger/heavier/hoop earrings.
Do not leave your new piercings without earrings for more than 24 hours & only use hypoallergenic earrings (nickel-safe) for optimal healing & to prevent allergic reactions.
