Body Piercing Home Care
Healing time is approximately 6 - 8 weeks. Jewellery is not to be removed before this time. It is preferable to leave the jewellery in for the first 6 months. You can take multi-vitamin supplements to help the healing process.
For the first week clean your piercing twice a day using the body piercing cleanser gel solution. For the first 3 weeks avoid rotating the ring. In the second week, clean your piercing using Listerine. The third week clean your piercing with warm water and salt. Avoid Dettol, disinfectants, soaps and Tea Tree Oil.
Avoid tight clothing and touching your piercing unless cleaning it.
Tongue and lip piercing should be rinsed with Listerine or Difflam at least 3 times a day and after eating. Also refrain from heavy or rough play as this may affect your piercing.
Those with nose studs may wish to secure them at night wjith a band-aid to prevent the stud from falling out (also try not to sleep on your face as this may embed the stud deep in your nose).
Even in the strictest of conditions, infection can occur and possibly leave a scar. If you are unsure about the state of your piercing please consult one of our staff. If attended to properly as suggested above, infections occur ifrequently. If there are any problems then call Essential Beauty immediately.
Within time if you wish to change the ball on capture rings, we will do so free of charge when you purchase another ball, bead or crystal through our salon. There are many colours available and they will give your ring an entirely new look for little cost.
Finally, please remember, we are inserting a foreign
object into the body and redness may remain in the area
up tp 6 months due to trauma on the skin. Eventually
though, the body will always try to heal itself. If
you feel faint/dizzy or ill after piercing advise our
staff immediately so they can help you. Avoid driving
directly after piercing.
