Piercing care is no big science. But it is necessary to do it really regularly and to not stop after just a few days. Just the fact you’re „healing well“ or that it is your fifth piercing doesn’t mean you can forgo fresh care. Plus, you don’t need any creams or dusting powders. For the care of piercings, we recommend products specifically designed for this. These can be purchased in our studio. A possible alternative is to use weak saline.

The advantage of microdermal is the possibility of placing it in almost any place on the body. The disadvantage is the high risk that the body rejects the microdermal (approximately 50%), so we recommend placing it in the least stressed places on the body. Even with a suitable location, it is necessary to take into account that the microdermal does not have to be a permanent piercing.

Time to complete healing of the microdermal: 3-4 weeks. For microdermals, expect a longer time in some places.

For the first month, treat the piercing with the recommended aftercare product twice a day. Then it is enough once a day until complete healing. Scabs that form around the microdermal should be soaked with the aftercare product before removal to avoid irritating the wound during cleaning.
