HELIX PIERCING

A helix piercing involves piercing the upper, outer cartilage of the ear. It's a versatile and stylish choice, allowing for various jewelry options and placements along the curve of the ear.

Healing Time:
Around 3 to 9 months.


Downsizing Time:
Typically, 2 to 4 weeks after the initial piercing.


Pain Level (1-10):
Pain is subjective but often falls around a 4-5 on the scale.


AFTERCARE:

  1. Cleanse Gently: Wash the piercing with Provon soap mixed with water 3-5 times daily.

  2. Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all soap residue is completely rinsed off.

  3. Pat Dry: Use a clean paper towel to gently pat the area dry to avoid irritation.

  4. Avoid Touching: Minimize handling the piercing to prevent contamination.

  5. Avoid Irritants: Keep hair products, makeup, and other potential irritants away from the piercing.


Tips for Easier Healing and Comfort:

  • Avoid Sleeping on It: Use a travel pillow or modify your sleeping position to avoid putting pressure on the piercing.

  • Limit Movement: Minimize activities that involve the ear's movement, such as wearing headphones.

  • Choose Appropriate Jewelry: Opt for jewelry that doesn't catch easily and is appropriate for initial healing.

  • Stay Consistent: Follow the aftercare routine religiously and consult your piercer for any concerns.
