Below are some important tips that will help your earring holes heal quickly. It is important to follow the aftercare instructions carefully. 

• After piercing, clean your earrings twice a day for two weeks using the aftercare bottle and a cotton bud. Always make sure your hands are disinfected when touching your newly pierced ear.
• Wash your hands thoroughly before touching the earring or ear.
• Apply the liquid from the aftercare bottle twice a day, after the first 24 hours, on both the front and back of the hole by applying one drop to each side. It’s important not to remove the earring. Gently push the earring forward and backward while applying the product.

• In the meantime, keep the area around the earring dry.

Freshly pierced holes may close if the earrings are removed. You should wear the earrings for at least 6 weeks (3 weeks with Studex® Advanced) without taking them out. It can take up to 6 months for ear piercings to fully heal.

During this time, only wear stud earrings made from premium stainless steel or other skin-friendly materials. Once fully healed, the inside of the piercing channel is covered with skin, which prevents it from closing again.

Take care of the ear piercings by cleaning them 2 times a day for 2 weeks with the aftercare lotion and a cotton swab. Make sure you don’t twist the earring as this reopens the wound in the piercing. Always wear earrings for the first six months after piercing your ears to avoid the earrings embedding.

During the healing period of 6 weeks (3 weeks with Studex® Advanced), it’s best to avoid swimming. Freshly pierced ears are small wounds and must be kept clean. Pools with chlorine can cause problems as chlorine may dry out and irritate the skin. If you still choose to swim, we recommend applying the aftercare product afterwards. Don’t forget to wash your hands first and rinse off any sand with water.

• Keep the earrings in for six weeks without removing them (or 3 weeks with Studex® Advanced).
• After 6 weeks (or 3 weeks with Studex® Advanced), the earrings may be replaced with another pair, which should also be worn constantly.
• For the first 6 months after piercing, we recommend only wearing light stud earrings.

You can prevent infections by choosing sterile piercing earrings and regularly caring for your piercing. Also, make sure the butterfly back of the earring isn’t pushed in too tightly. Leave the back in the groove of the stud and check its position each time you clean the ear. This allows air to reach the piercing and helps it heal.

If an infection does occur, you can use our STUDEX After Piercing Solution or Studex Advanced. After getting your ears pierced, it’s extremely important to follow our aftercare instructions carefully.

Once your ear piercing is fully healed (after 6 months), you may remove your earrings without immediately replacing them. Fully healed piercings will no longer close up. Before reinserting your earrings, you can clean them using the STUDEX After Piercing Solution.

If your piercings are fully healed but you still struggle to wear earrings from other brands, you may be having an allergic reaction to the material. In this case, we recommend removing those earrings and using the STUDEX After Piercing Solution or Studex® Advanced until the infection clears. Afterwards, you can choose skin-friendly earrings that you know you can tolerate. Always go for materials that are good for you.

Even with ear piercings that have long since healed and have never caused any problems, an infection can still occur. This can happen due to small tears, for example, caused by earrings getting caught when putting on or taking off clothing. In such cases, you can also use the STUDEX After Piercing Solution or Studex® Advanced to care for your ears. It’s best to switch to small stud earrings for a while.

Right after getting your ears pierced, you might notice a bit of swelling or redness. That’s totally normal and should go away within 48 hours as long as you follow the aftercare instructions properly. If you experience more intense pain, swelling, or redness, it’s important to see a doctor right away. Not following the aftercare instructions or waiting too long to get help if something’s wrong can lead to lasting damage to your ear. So don’t wait—getting the right help in time will leave you feeling relieved and grateful you acted quickly.

This depends on the healing process, though we recommended keeping the earrings in for at least 6 weeks.

There's a few things that are best to avoid when you have just got your ears pierced:

• Do not touch your earring or the ear unnecessarily. For example, don't keep twisting the stud, because by doing so you will keep opening the wound.
• Do not push the closure of the earring tighter but leave the closure in the notch of the stud. When you do this, enough air can reach the earring hole which promotes the healing process. If the earring is too tight, it can lead to infection. 
• As much as possible, try to avoid products like hairspray, shampoo and soap around the piercing. After using shampoo, we recommend cleaning the piercing, using aftercare solution.  
• Try not to swim, bathe or go to the sauna for a fortnight. Wet and humid areas can increase the risk of inflammation. You may shower, of course.

You can buy a bottle of Studex® Advanced in our boutique. It helps your fresh piercing heal faster. It even allows you to change your earrings after 3 weeks instead of 6 (if the piercing is healing well), YES! The cost of the bottle is €15.99.
