Good reflexes:
- Never handle the piercing without washing your hands first.
- Do not sleep on your piercing or turn/move it.
- Do not remove the jewelry before the recommended time.
- Don't forget the daily treatment.
The basis of care: Simple, daily hygiene
Clean your piercing with saline solution once a day. Leave the saline solution on for a few minutes, then dry the area with a clean, dry non-woven compress for a period of 3 weeks.
Some additional tips:
It is essential to always wash your hands thoroughly before touching the piercing, the jewelry and the surrounding area, and to touch it as little as possible.
You can rinse your piercing with warm water and then with saline solution to help the small scabs come off without pulling or tearing them off.
Dry it with a non-woven compress, we strongly advise against using cotton or woven compresses which will leave unwanted material which will accumulate on the piercing.
Tongue piercing:
- Use alcohol-free mouthwashes after each meal for 2 weeks (2/3 times a day maximum).
- Always respect the dilution indicated on the bottle.
- Do not use the product more than recommended, it could irritate the oral microbiota in the long term.
Lips and Labret:
Follow all previous instructions for the external and internal parts of the mouth.
