6 - 12 Months

Forward helix piercings often require more time to heal compared to regular earlobe piercings due to the cartilage nature. Generally, expect a healing period ranging from 6 to 12 months. Consistency with your aftercare routine is crucial during this phase to support proper healing and reduce the chances of any issues arising.

FORWARD HELIX PIERCING AFTERCARE

Taking care of your new forward helix is crucial for a smooth healing journey. Clean the area twice daily with a saline solution or mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals or makeup near the piercing. Let the initial earrings stay in place until they're fully healed, and afterward, opt for hypoallergenic jewelry. Avoid twisting or turning the earrings, and be patient—healing times can vary. If you notice any signs of infection, seek professional advice promptly. With proper care, your ear lobe piercings will heal beautifully!

TIPS TO HEAL YOUR FORWARD HELIX PIERCING QUICKLY

  1. Cleaning: Use a saline solution or a mild soap and warm water to clean the piercing twice a day. Gently rotate the jewelry while cleaning to prevent it from sticking.

  2. Hands Off: Avoid touching the piercing with unwashed hands to prevent introducing bacteria.

  3. Avoid Irritants: Keep hairspray, makeup, and other beauty products away from the piercing to prevent irritation.

  4. Avoid Changing Jewelry Too Soon: Wait until the piercing is fully healed before changing the jewelry, and ensure the new jewelry is clean and hypoallergenic.

  5. Protect it: Be cautious of items that may catch on the jewelry, like clothing or hair, especially during the healing process.

  6. Monitor for Infection: Watch for signs of infection such as excessive redness, swelling, pain, or discharge, and consult a professional if you notice any of these symptoms.

  7. Stay Consistent: Follow the aftercare routine consistently until the piercing is fully healed, which may take several months.
