Tips and Recommendations
Proper care is the key to long-lasting and safe wear.
Here are a few simple yet important rules:
- Hygiene: Rinse the piercing with saline solution or antiseptic twice a day. Avoid using alcohol-based products as they can cause irritation.
- Avoid Contacts: Try not to touch the piercing with dirty hands. Avoid contact with cosmetics, especially in the first weeks after the procedure.
- Food Restrictions: In the first few days, avoid spicy, salty, and hot food. Drink through a straw to minimize contact with the jewelry.
- Regular Cleaning: Brush your teeth after every meal and use an antiseptic mouthwash. This helps to avoid infection and speed up the healing process.
- Check the Jewelry: Regularly check that the jewelry is securely fastened but not too tight. This will prevent it from being accidentally lost and help avoid injuries.
