Piercing Aftercare

 We recommend a 2-step routine to take care of fresh piercings, a cleaning step and a healing step.

Cleaning: To clean your piercings, we recommend the Trisan Skin Cleanser, which is oil-free, soap-free, alcohol-free, and perfume-free.

Apply a small amount of the gel cleanser onto a clean cotton bud, and apply around the front and back of the piercing hole, gently removing any crusties, dried blood, or pus from the area. 

With another clean cotton bud dipped in warm water, rinse around the front and back of the piercing hole and remove any remaining cleanser, to avoid product buildup. Either pat the area dry with a clean paper towel, or let air dry.

Repeat this twice daily, morning and night, for 6-8 weeks following a piercing. Following this period, cleanings can be slowed down to be less frequent.

Healing: To help heal your piercings, we recommend using a sterile saline solution like NeilMed Piercing Aftercare following the cleaning step.

Apply a generous amount of saline around the front and back of the piercing hole, either by spraying it directly, or using a cotton bud. Gently move your jewelry back and forth to allow the saline to go through the piercing channel.

Repeat this once daily, only at night, following cleaning the piercing. Overusing saline spray (3+ times a day) can dry out the skin around the piercing, leading to further irritation.

Good Luck!
