Bridge Piercing Aftercare Guide
Best wishes for a speedy recovery after your brand-new Bridge piercing from us.
To get through the basic healing period after a bridge piercing, it takes roughly 3 to 6 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 bridge piercing.
Please carefully study and adhere to the basic instructions listed below if you want to successfully heal a bridge piercing.
- Given that it heals in about 3 to 6 months, take good care.
- Bring your glasses to your visit if you wear them so your piercer can advise you on the optimal jewelry placement.
- The most important thing to do (other than keeping a cleaning regime) is to resist the urge to touch it. Try not to play with it, spin it, rotate it, or grab at it.
- For cleaning, use Piercing Zone aftercare saline solution. Use saline solution as needed, either by spraying it on or applying with clean gauze saturated with saline solution. Spray on both sides twice a day for the duration of the healing process.
- Stay away from standing water (like swimming pools, lakes, and baths).
- 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.
- Many people have a habit of sleeping on their faces. Please try to avoid doing this because pressure is particularly hazardous for any piercing while it is healing.
- Have a piercer confirm that the piercing has fully healed before stopping aftercare practices.
Tips & Tricks
- Be careful when getting dressed, brushing your hair, or putting on your glasses to avoid snagging or friction.
- 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 3 to 6 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.
- The first jewellery change should be performed by a qualified piercer.
- Keep in mind that stress, bad diet, drug addiction, or illness might lead to a prolonged recovery period or other challenges.
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 or flipping 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.
