Aftercare Tips for Child Piercings

Proper aftercare is essential to promote healing and avoid complications. Here are key tips for caring for your child’s piercing:

  • Clean the Piercing: Gently clean the pierced area twice daily using saline solution or a gentle, fragrance-free saline wound wash.

  • Avoid Touching: Encourage your child to avoid touching or twisting the jewelry except when cleaning hands thoroughly.

  • Keep the Area Dry: After cleaning, gently pat the area dry with a clean, disposable paper towel.

  • Avoid Swimming: Refrain from swimming in pools, lakes, or hot tubs until the piercing is fully healed.

  • Watch for Irritation: Look out for signs of infection such as redness, swelling, or discharge, and contact us if symptoms appear.

  • Jewelry Care: Do not remove or change jewelry until the piercing is healed, unless advised by our professionals.

Following these guidelines helps the piercing heal smoothly and reduces the risk of infection.

Preparing for Your Child’s Piercing Appointment

To help your child have the best experience possible during their piercing session, consider the following:

  • Dress Comfortably: Choose clothing that allows easy access to the piercing area.

  • Avoid Numbing Creams: We do not recommend topical numbing creams as they can cause allergic reactions or interfere with healing.

  • Bring Support: A parent or guardian should be present to comfort and reassure your child.

  • Discuss the Procedure: Calmly explain the process in age-appropriate terms to reduce anxiety.

  • Schedule Wisely: Plan the appointment for a time when your child is well-rested and not hungry.

Being prepared can reduce stress for both the child and the parent, making the visit smoother and more enjoyable.
