HEALING PERIOD

NOTES
-Make sure your bedding is washed and changed regularly. Wear clean, comfortable, breathable clothing that protects your piercing while you are sleeping.
-Wash your hands prior to touching the piercing; leave the piercing alone except when cleaning.
-Surfaces like eyeglasses, etc can be cleaned with an appropriate disinfectant. Items like hats, scarves, headbands, etc should be washed regularly.
-Use caution when styling your hair and advise your stylist of a new or healing piercing.
-Sleeping directly on a healing piercing can cause irritation, even causing shifts in the piercing’s angle.
Please come in after 8 weeks to get your posts downsized for optimal healing.
NEVER twist or remove jewelry to clean, keep it in for the full 8 weeks.
Aftercare Procedure
When:
Morning, Night, and after workout for 6-8 weeks
Products Needed:
Sterile Saline Solution Wound Wash
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
WASH your hands thoroughly prior to cleaning or touching your piercing for any reason.
Spray piercing with sterile saline wound wash, or you can spray a Q-Tip to the point of a droplet coming off (this helps avoid fibers from the cotton wrapped around the jewelry or in the piercing track.) Remove any debris from jewelry.
DRY with clean, disposable products like gauze or paper towels-- do not use cloth towels, they can harbor bacteria and snag on jewelry.
*Be sure to not skip this step, as it can leave salt deposits on your skin and cause irritation.*
AVOID
​
-Cleaning with alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, iodine, or any harsh products, as these can damage cells. Also avoid ointments as they prevent necessary air circulation.
​
-Bactine®, pierced ear care solutions, and other products containing Benzalkonium Chloride (BZK). These can be irritating and are not intended for long-term wound care.
​
-All oral contact, rough play, and contact with others’ bodily fluids on or near your piercing during healing.
-All beauty and personal care products on or around the piercing including cosmetics, lotions, and sprays, etc.
