Care of a fresh piercing - our practical tips:
The healing of a piercing is an individual matter – this process can be different for everyone. However, an experienced piercer should let the client know what is the norm and what should cause concern. What rules of care for a fresh piercing should never be forgotten?
- Do not remove the earring until the fresh piercing channel has completely healed. When swelling and redness disappear, secretion stops coming out of the canal and the movement of the piercing does not cause pain, it is a sign that the piercing care rules have had the intended effect.
- A fresh piercing should be cared for every day. The channel must be cleaned with a special piercing care product – our team recommends NeilMed’s ‘NeilCleanse’ Piercing Aftercare in areosol This product allows the fresh piercing to be cleaned without the use of a cotton swab, reducing the entry of microorganisms into the wound.
- Don’t touch or play with the earring and don’t wear things that may put pressure on it.
- Try to sleep on the side without a fresh puncture.
Ensure a hygienic environment – this is the most effective way to heal piercings. Change your pillowcases, use gentle clothes washes, shampoos and conditioners without strong cleansers.

Healing a piercing in summer – will it work?
The holidays are an extremely busy time for piercing makeovers! Quite a few clients dream of new, elegant jewellery and decide to visit a piercing studio. The most popular piercings performed in the summer are by far: navel, septum, nostril or various ear cartilage piercings (helix, conch, daith). Clients choose to heal their piercing in the summer because of the warm weather, more free time to properly care for the piercing or looser clothing that often exposes more of the body and does not put pressure on the piercing.
However, a fresh piercing may require extra attention and care during the holiday season. How do you take care of your piercing in the summer to avoid infections and other problems? Here are some valuable tips that can help your piercing heal properly in the summer.
How do you take care of your piercing - piercer's tips
- Swimming pools and beaches – avoid swimming in pools, lakes and the sea for at least 3-4 weeks after your piercing to avoid contaminating your fresh piercing with bacteria and to avoid irritation from chlorinated water.
- Sweat – regularly clean the skin around a fresh piercing, especially when sweating heavily. This way, the healing of the piercing will take place properly and you will minimise the risk of infection.
- Direct sunlight – try to avoid prolonged exposure of your fresh piercing to the sun. UV rays can irritate and delay the healing process of the piercing – this is by far the most important recommendation on how to take care of your piercing in the summer!
- Sunscreen – some piercers recommend applying sunscreen to the area around a fresh piercing. However, if there is a risk of cosmetic getting into the wound – abandon this idea as it will not benefit the healing of the piercing.
- Avoid chafing – wear loose and airy clothing that will not rub against the fresh piercing. Avoid synthetic materials that can irritate the skin around a fresh piercing. This is a recommendation always worth bearing in mind and is the basis for proper piercing care (not just in summer)!
- A healthy diet – how do you look after your piercing in summer? Best from the inside out! Consume balanced meals. A well-composed diet, rich in vitamins and minerals, support the healing process of the piercing.
- Hydration – drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and support the recovery process of a fresh piercing.
