Belly Piercing Aftercare Guide
Best wishes for a speedy recovery after your brand-new belly piercing from us.
To get through the basic healing phase after a belly piercing, it takes roughly 8 months.
You're likely wondering what the basic healing period means at this point.
The term "basic healing period" refers to the time when your piercing is still in the healing process and only a very thin layer of skin is forming around your jewellery.
During this time, you should take good care of your piercing and never change the jewellery you have in it. You should also keep it clean and do all the aftercare procedures necessary to heal a belly piercing.
Please carefully study and adhere to the basic instructions listed below if you want to successfully heal a belly piercing.
- Given that it heals in about 6 to 8 months, take good care.
- Throughout the healing process, clean your newly placed belly piercing two to three times a day using a saline piercing aftercare solution.
- Do not to sleep on your piercing as it heals.
- Never wear anything high-waist during initial healing period, not even for one day, not even for one hour. Wearing highwaist pants is one of the most popular reason behind rejection of Belly piercing.
- Stay away from standing water (like swimming pools, lakes, and baths).
- The most important rule is to never touch a piercing. Every time you touch your piercing, you get one step closer to developing an infection, which is a very dangerous thing.
- Jewellery should never be moved or rotated during the healing process as this will just make things more difficult. It is also not advised to take any actions that may hinder the healing process.
- Use Fucidin or Fucicort cream every night before sleeping to boost the healing process.
- Have a piercer confirm that the piercing has fully healed before stopping aftercare practices.
Tips & Tricks
- Under no circumstances should you take off your jewellery during the healing process because doing so increases the risk of losing the piercing, and putting it back is not the solution.
- Jewellery should never be changed, replaced, or altered while the body is recovering. We recognise that anyone can quickly become tired of their jewels, but doing so while the piercing is healing, which takes eight months, is very terrible and can quickly make the healing process more difficult.
- Every day, wash your piercings in clean water and mild soap in the shower. Don't forget to use a dryer to dry them after.
- Applying fucicort lotion or fucidin helps accelerate the healing process.
- Never start a piercing with dangling jewelry; instead, start with a light piece.
What to Avoid
- The most important rule is to never touch a piercing. Every time you touch your piercing, you get one step closer to developing an infection, which is a very dangerous thing.
- For up to a month, stay away from lakes, pools, and the sea because contaminated water can quickly infect piercings.
- While your piercing is healing, avoid rotating it. They won't be stuck, I promise you.
- Steer clear of any lotions, including those for skin care and makeup. even the moisturisers that are close to your piercing. The healing process can quickly become complicated if something gets stuck in your piercing or on your jewellery.
- Do not clean with alcohol or cotton buds.
- Throughout the healing process, avoid taking off or changing your jewelry.
- Avoid tea tree oil and any other products that your friends or social media have recommended.
