Getting a new piercing is only the beginning. Proper aftercare is an important part of helping your new ear or nose piercing heal comfortably.
Keep Your Hands Clean
Avoid touching a new piercing unnecessarily. If you need to handle the jewellery or surrounding area, make sure your hands are clean.
Follow Professional Instructions
Every piercing can have different care requirements. Follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by your piercing professional.
Avoid Unnecessary Irritation
Try to avoid activities or habits that repeatedly catch, pull, or rub against your new piercing. Be especially careful with clothing, hair, headphones, and other items that may come into contact with the area.
Be Patient
Healing takes time, and the piercing may require ongoing care. Avoid changing jewellery prematurely unless advised by a qualified professional.
When to Ask for Professional Advice
If you have concerns about your piercing during the healing process, contact your piercing professional or seek appropriate medical advice when necessary.
With professional service and proper aftercare, you can enjoy your new piercing while maintaining a clean and comfortable routine.
