Healing Timeline
You've just had your ears pierced. Now what?
Here’s a handy chart to help you through the healing period.
Earlobe piercing: Leave the piercing earrings in for 6 weeks.
Cartilage piercing: Leave the piercing earrings in for 12 weeks.
Remember
Pain, redness and swelling are not a normal result of ear piercing and can lead to infection. Should pain, redness or swelling appear any time after 24 hours after the piercing, remove the earring and see your physician immediately. This is extremely urgent with cartilage piercing as very serious infections and/or complications can result.
After Care Healing Tips
Clean Hands
Always be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before touching your ears or earrings.
Cleaning Tip
Gently slide your earring back & forth while cleaning to help the Ear Care Solution reach inside your piercing.
Turn Turn Turn
Gently rotate your piercing earrings at least 3x a day, ideally after you have applied your Ear Care Solution.
Brush Carefully
Be extra careful not to catch your piercing earring when brushing your hair.
Protect
Avoid irritating your piercing with products such as hair spray, shampoo, soap, perfume or cosmetics. After using any of these, clean your piercing with your Ear Care Solution.
Warm Weather Tip
Protect your piercing from the sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat. Avoid getting sunscreen in your piercing. If you do, rinse with clean water & reapply your Ear Care Solution.
Sports Tip
Athletes: before you get pierced, ask if you are permitted to protect a new piercing with a band aid or sports tape during games & practice. If not, plan to have your ears pierced off-season.
