NOSE PIERCING
A nostril piercing involves puncturing the tissue on the side of the nose, typically through the thin skin between the nostril's edge and the crease of the nose. It's a popular and versatile piercing choice, allowing for a range of jewelry options, from studs to rings, enhancing facial aesthetics.
Healing Time:
Usually, a nostril piercing takes about 3 to 6 months to fully heal.
Downsizing Time:
Downsizing, often to replace the initial jewelry with a shorter post, is typically recommended after 4-6 weeks.
Pain Level (1-10):
Pain during a nostril piercing is often rated around 4-5 out of 10, varying among individuals due to pain tolerance and sensitivity.
AFTERCARE:
Gently clean the piercing 3-5 times a day using a mild antimicrobial soap and water.
After cleaning, ensure the area is completely dry using disposable paper products.
Avoid Over-Touching. Minimize contact with unwashed hands to prevent introducing bacteria to the piercing site.
Avoid Harsh Products. Refrain from using alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, as they can be overly drying and irritate the piercing.
Refrain from moving or rotating the jewelry during the healing process to prevent irritation.
Tips for Easier Healing:
Avoid Changing Jewelry Early: Wait for the suggested time before changing jewelry to avoid complications.
Avoid Makeup Contact: Be cautious with makeup around the piercing to prevent any potential irritation.
