Micro - dermal piercings are single point piercings that are implanted just below the skin. The footing, which is under your skin, has holes that your skin will grow into and anchor itself into place. Your body will quickly adjust to your new micro-dermal and heal properly if you adhere to necessary daily aftercare piercing cleaning solution. 


HOW TO CLEAN

  • Immediately following the procedure your dermal will be bandaged. Gently remove and replace your bandage 2X's a day for a week. After the second week, you can go without bandages. 
  • A buildup of curst will form around your dermal. The bandages are there to keep you from snagging them while they are loose under the skin and have not anchored yet. It also helps to keep them from pushing out of your skin while healing. 
  • Clean the pierced area with Mckesson Anti-microbial soap 1x daily 15-30 seconds, rinse thoroughly. Soak daily with Steri-Wash or sea salt mixture to remove lymph and crusts. Dilute 1/4 tsp of sea salt to 8 oz. of warm clear water. Soak then rinse with clear water.

Understanding when to stop cleaning your ear and daith piercing or migraines can be tricky. However, initially healing is generally 6-12 weeks on almost all piercings with up to 1 year to be permanently healed. 


EAR PIERCING SERVICE CLEANING TIPS

  • To keep water and aftercare products out of your inner ear, put a small piece of a cotton ball in your ear before routine aftercare. 
  • Lather a dime size drop of Mckesson Anti-microbial soap around jewelry and piercing for 15-30 seconds.
  • Rinse thoroughly with warm water. 
  • Use soap 2x's a day. Once in the AM, once in the PM.
  • Check balls on jewelry to make sure they are tight. 


We recommend sea salt soaks to remove dead cells and debris that build up around the piercing. Do not pick off crusties. Soak them off so you do not disturb the healing process. 


SEA SALT SOAKS with Steri-Wash or Make Your Own

Cartilage types of piercings is more tender and can take up to 1 year to heal. If not cared for appropriately, may result in cartilage piercing bumps.  Do not take jewelry out without replacing it immediately or your piercing may close. Furthermore, consult with a professional piercer at Finders Keepers for your healing questions, best practices and time.

  • Your body will quickly adjust to the jewelry in your tongue and heal properly if you adhere to necessary daily aftercare.
  • Immediately following your piercing, you may want to use ice to keep your tongue cold and reduce swelling. 
  • Anti-inflammatory medications such as Advil, Motrin or Ibuprophen may help ease the discomfort. (We assume no liability nor recommend any medications. Always consult your physician). 
  • We have pierced you with a longer bar to accommodate swelling. After the swelling is gone, if the bar feels too long, visit us to purchase a shorter bar which we will install at no charge. Leave the new bar in for 5 weeks or until healed. 


How to Clean Your Tongue Piercing

  1. Use an alcohol-free mouthwash 2-3 times a day to clean. 
  2. Dissolve 1 tbsp of Sea Salt to a 24 oz. bottle of water and rinse each time after you eat, drink (anything but water) or smoke. 


Eating and Drinking

  1. Eat as you normally would.
  2. Your tongue will be tender, and eating will be a bit more challenging, however, you will adjust to the piercing by the end of the first week.
  3. The tender piercing can be vulnerable to ripping or tearing, so avoid playing with it. 


Healing

As with any new piercing, it will take approximately 1 year to be healed completely. This all depends on how quickly your body heals naturally. Taking care of your overall health with proper diet, sleep and exercise is important and will help speed this process along.
