Ear Piercing Aftercare Procedure

• Wash hands thoroughly before touching studs or ear
• Cleanse front and back of the ear 2 times a day with STUDEX after piercing solution without removing studs. Then rotate studs 2 or 3 times, 180 degrees left and 180 degrees right, i.e. half turn only, thus avoiding hair wrapping around the post at the back of the lobe. In between cleaning, the ear should be kept dry.
• Keep hair spray, soap, shampoo and other preparations away from the ear. After shampooing, the ear should be rinsed with clear water and then cleansed with STUDEX after piercing solution as described above.
• The pierced area should be CLEANSED with STUDEX after piercing solution then kept DRY, especially after bathing, swimming or exercise.

DO NOT

• Remove studs or handle your ears an/or studs unnecessarily
• Push the butterfly along the post towards the ear – the butterfly must always be positioned at the tip of the post. Feel the position each time you clean the ear – it must feel smooth. This ensures that the earring remains LOOSE during the healing period. This is essential as tight earrings lead to inflammation.

DO

• Leave studs in the ear for 6 weeks continuously (12 weeks for cartilage)
• After 6 weeks (12 weeks for cartilage), the stud can be removed, and other post type earrings may be worn continuously.
• Use only post-style earrings continuously for the first 6 months from piercing. The post should be a surgical grade of stainless steel or other hypo-allergenic material.



Minor pain/redness may occur immediately – this is normal. This will settle within 48hours provided proper after-care is carried out. If undue/pain/swelling/redness occurs at any time, seek medical advice before removing the ear-piercing stud.

Ear Cartilage:

Due to the nature of ear cartilage, extra care should be observed during the healing period. Minor pain/redness may occur immediately – this is normal. This will settle within 48hours provided proper after-care is carried out. If undue/pain/swelling/redness occurs at any time, seek medical advice immediately. Do not remove studs before the relevant medical advice.

Failure to properly follow after-care procedures or to seek immediate medical advice, should a problem occur, may result in permanent damage to the ear cartilage.
