Earrings, as a rule, make the image more refined and brighter. However, in order for such an event as ear piercing to leave you with only pleasant memories, it is necessary that the healing proceeds quickly and without complications.

The care recommendations we have listed in this article will make it exactly like this.

1. Needle earrings should not be removed for 4-6 weeks after piercing, while the channel is healing.

2. In the first days after the piercing, avoid washing your hair, visiting a swimming pool, sauna, bathhouse and swimming in water bodies. Also, refrain from physical activity and active sports.

3. Treat the puncture site twice a day with special products recommended by your doctor. It is best to do this before taking water procedures. After applying the gel or lotion, the earring in the ear should be moved without removing it.

4. After 3-4 days from the piercing, regularly rotate the earrings in both directions for 1-2 minutes and move them back and forth (without removing the clasp) to avoid stagnation and expand the channel.

5. After 1.5 months, the needle earrings can be removed. To remove the earring correctly, hold it with two fingers of one hand in front by the "head", creating a stop, and gently pull the clasp from behind with the other hand.

6. After removing the needle earrings, the channel will have the diameter of the pin, so it is not recommended to insert earrings with a pin diameter thicker than the pin of the needle earring or with an English lock. Before inserting new earrings, be sure to treat them with alcohol. Over time, the channel in the earlobe will take on a diameter for earrings of any design due to its softness and elasticity.

7. If signs of inflammation appear, consult the specialist who pierced your ears. Self-medication is prohibited.
