AFTERCARE
Facial Piercings
Piercing's from the neck up i.e.

require similar aftercare.

Wash hands thoroughly before touching your new piercing.

Clean any dry matter off the jewellery and around the entrance and exit of the piercing with a mild Anti-bacterial soap. Rinse the soap off well, as any residue could irritate the new piercing.

Rotate the jewellery through the piercing to allow the piercing to breath.(making sure hands are clean).

Dry the piercing with a clean towel or paper towel.

Apply SALINE solution ( sterile salt water) or antiseptic aftercare solution (mild-containing Benzalkonium chloride) onto a cotton bud or directly onto the new piercing.(making sure not to contaminate the bottle)

Repeat this process twice a day for the first 6 weeks.

Wash your mouth out with a mild mouthwash (Tech 2000). if If this stings you in any way water it down 50/50 or rinse it with cooled, boiled water with salt.

Avoid hot,spicy and solid food for the first 3-4 days.

Avoid alcohol and cigarettes for as long as possible (at least 1 week) as this can slow up the healing process and prolong swelling.

For gland piercing's such as Prince Albert, Ampallang, Apadravya,Clit, Clit hood, Triangle ect... The flow of urine passing by will clean these areas on the inside.

Helpful Hints

Every person's body has a different healing process, some are better and faster than others, this cannot be helped. Some people's bodies will reject their piercing's, nothing can be done about that and it can't be foreseen. Body Shock will not perform on any client, a piercing we feel to be unsafe or will not heal successfully.

Infections are rare. If you follow this guide correctly and do not play with your new piercing you will be at minimum risk from infection.
