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.
