Ear Piercing Aftercare
Aftercare is crucial to ensure your ear piercing heals properly and reduces the risk of infection. Here’s what you need to do to care for your new piercing:
- Keep the area clean: Clean the piercing site with a saline solution or antiseptic recommended by your piercer.
- Avoid touching the piercing: Make sure to wash your hands before touching your piercing.
- Do not remove the jewellery prematurely: Keep the jewellery in for at least 6 to 8 weeks for lobe piercings and up to 12 months for cartilage piercings.
- Avoid swimming in pools or hot tubs: Until your piercing has fully healed, avoid submerging it in water.
- Monitor for signs of infection: Look for redness, swelling, or discharge. If any of these occur, contact Adorn Beauty for advice.
