PIERCING AFTERCARE

PLEASE FOLLOW THESE AFTER CARE INSTRUCATIONS

• Properly cleanse the pierced area with antibacterial soap (Dial Gold) or a saline wash (NeilMed) for the first 6 weeks. Keep it clean and minimize exposure to filth.
• How to Clean: wash hands twice. On the second wash, take the diluted soap suds and clean the piercing area. Thoroughly rinse off all soap and residue.
• Oral Piercing: rinse your mouth with alcohol-free mouthwash (Biotene) after every time you eat, drink, smoke, or put anything in your mouth that is not water.
• Do not change piercing jewelry for 6–8 weeks. Downsizing is recommended for most piercings.
• The number one cause of infections is dirty hands. Make sure your hands are clean every time they come into contact with your piercing.
