Expert Care Tips to Heal Your Helix Piercing

Have you recently gotten a helix piercing? Looking for stylish helix earrings to adorn your ear? Check out some expert after-care tips for healing your helix piercing effectively before adorning it with helix earrings.

Avoid sleeping on it

Do you sleep on your side? Try to avoid this for a while after piercing your helix and try to sleep on your back or belly. Sleeping on a fresh helix piercing can be harmful to your new piercing! For best healing, it’s important not to put any unnecessary stress on it. Additionally, you must avoid any situation that may cause irritation or put pressure on the healing process. Avoid wearing hats, beanies, large headphones, hoods, or any other accessories that may put stress on the helix.  Also make sure to be careful while using your phone!

Be cautious with your hair

Be cautious not to snag your hair on your brand new helix earrings. Hair can create problems with your fresh helix piercings to heal, and can complicate the healing process significantly. Accidental snags by hair could lead to infections, piercing irritation and even piercing rejection.

Give the piercing enough time to heal completely

It is understandable that you must be excited to start experimenting with different fun jewelry pieces but as with any piercing, helix piercings need to heal completely before being adorned with different jewelry, as a change too early may lead to infections.

Also, you must get your helix pierced by professional piercers to avoid problems. Professionals have high quality metal that aids in healing your piercing thoroughly and effectively.

A helix is a cartilage piercing it takes longer to heal. Make sure not to get tempted to change your helix earrings for at least three months. Try to keep it as clean as possible with a chemical free saline solution. Once you feel healed, consult with your piercer for further expert tips to maintain your helix piercing properly.
