Safe and gentle ear piercing
Care advice
Proper care after getting your ears pierced is important. Here you can read what you should do in the weeks after.
The following should be done during the healing period:
1. Always wash your hands with soap before touching your ears.
2. Rotate the ear studs slightly twice daily to prevent them from growing stuck in the ear.
3. Clean the front and back of the ear holes twice daily with Inverness Ear Care on a cotton swab. This prevents the growth of bacteria and speeds up the healing process.
Inverness Ear Care is specially developed to ensure the best and most effective aftercare for newly pierced ears. The active ingredient is Benzalkonium Chloride, which does not cause cracking or drying of the skin.
4. Always keep the area around your newly pierced ears clean, dry and airy. Especially after swimming or exercising. Rinse your ears thoroughly with water after washing your hair with soap. Cover your ears when using spray perfume, hairspray and hair dye. Keep your hair out of your ears whenever possible until the healing process is complete.
After the healing period:
Do not go without earrings for the first year after getting your ears pierced, as the holes can shrink or close completely.
The ears are ready for you to change to other earrings after the healing period.
Healing time:
Earlobe: 6 weeks
Cartilage part: 12 weeks
The ear studs must NOT be removed during the healing period!

Important information
Persistent redness or swelling indicates an infection or that your body will not accept a foreign object. It is therefore extremely important that you responsibly follow the care instructions to ensure optimal healing of your ear piercings. If pain, redness or swelling persists for the first 24 hours, you should do the following:
Earlobe: Loosen the back mechanism and clean the front and back of the hole three times a day with Inverness Ear Care . If it does not improve within a few days, remove the earring and see a doctor.
Cartilage: If the piercing is in the cartilage of the ear, you should be extra careful to follow the following instructions, as an infection in this part of the ear can cause serious complications. If pain, redness or swelling persists for more than 24 hours, even after frequent cleaning with Inverness Ear Care, you should remove the earring and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
