On the day of the piercing
You can wash your hair, and water may touch your ear – just don’t let it soak.
Piercings aftercare
Aftercare is worth taking seriously not only so that healing goes smoothly: the piercing will also have its greatest effect if it heals well. We have summed up what to look out for in the first days, weeks and months.

The first days and weeks
On the day of the piercing you can do almost everything – but there are a few things best avoided for 2–3 weeks.
For the first 2–3 weeks avoid
- baths,
- swimming pools,
- saunas,
- and sunbeds.
Don’t move it, don’t turn it
The jewellery sits in cartilage, not fatty tissue: if you move it, it cannot heal.
What is normal during healing?
Cartilage heals slowly: swelling, redness and tenderness are a natural part of healing.
4–5.day
It may become red or swollen
Nothing abnormal is happening if your ear becomes red and swollen after a few days.
3–5weeks
Then it slowly starts to heal
The swelling may last for as long as 3–5 weeks; after that it heals nicely and gradually.
6months
Full healing
Full healing may take as long as 6 months; during this time swelling, discharge and tenderness may occur.
Your daily hygiene routine
- Care for the wound morning and evening with the aftercare kit bought from us: spray the wound while it is tender.
- After 2 weeks you can add the oil: put 1 drop on the wound, after the spray.
- In the evening, clean away dirt, dried blood and ointment residue with a stream of water – do not use alcohol.
- Do not use cosmetics around the wound.
- If it becomes inflamed, don’t panic: apply a thin layer of the oil with a cotton bud 2–3 times a week; if it doesn’t settle, twice a day.
What happens if it still doesn’t heal properly?
If scar tissue forms, if you feel it is not healing well enough, or if you notice any other side effect, feel free to book an appointment for a free check-up – we will help you heal!

The headache piercing worked after 4 weeks. I had been tormented by headaches for months, and now they disappeared from one day to the next – I hope they don’t come back!

I had a migraine and a Shenmen piercing done at the Kecskemét location. The specialist was very kind and helpful, and I am completely satisfied. The next day I had a headache, but that is normal; since then I have had no complaints, and the aftercare is going fine too – it doesn’t hurt at all.
