The 4 Week Follow Up
Hey Mom and Dad!

For proper healing and satisfaction with your newly pierced ears,
follow these easy cleaning instructions.

Please note: many of the problems arising from ear piercing result from poor care after the piercing.
  · Cleanse the piercing twice a day. Be sure to cleanse especially after
  shampooing, swimming or exercising.
· Use our specially formulated Ear Care Antiseptic when cleansing.
  You may use isopropyl alcohol as an alternative temporary substitution
  for Ear Care Antiseptic.
· Always cleanse hands prior to touching your ears.
· Use a clean cotton swab to apply the Ear Care Antiseptic. Push the earring
  gently forward and backward, swabbing between your ear and the earring.
· Rotate the earring twice daily to prevent it from adhering to the ear.
· Avoid touching your ears except when cleaning.
· Cover your ears when using hair spray or perfume.
· Do NOT remove earrings before the specified time:
  Earlobe Piercing: Keep earrings in for 4 to 6 weeks.
  Cartilage Piercing: Keep earrings in for 8 to 12 weeks.
· Return for a free follow up visit in 4 weeks or sooner if you have any
  questions or concerns.
· Be careful that earrings don't get caught when brushing your hair or pulling
  clothes over your head.Take extra care when exercising or playing sports.

Proper daily aftercare should clear up an irritation. Pain, redness or swelling that exists more than 24 hours after the piercing is not a normal result of ear piercing. Persistent or recurrent redness or swelling may indicate that your body may not tolerate a foreign object in the skin. You may be unable to wear pierced earrings. Consult a physician.

Earlobe: In many cases, reviewing and observing proper aftercare procedures will clear up any irritation in the earlobe.

Cartilage: If redness or swelling in a cartilage piercing exists more than 24 hours after the piercing, immediately remove the earring, continue to cleanse the ear, and consult a physician.

Piercing Pagoda is pleased to offer our professional ear piercing service for children two months and older who have received their first DPT inoculation and are accompanied by an identified parent or legal guardian. If your child becomes upset or unsettled, we will suspend the ear piercing immediately. At that time, you will be asked to consider returning when your child is able to comfortably continue with the ear piercing procedure.

We Recommend

To help alleviate anxiety at the time of piercing: For all children who are two months and up, we strongly recommend having both ears pierced at the same time by two piercing professionals. Many of our locations have two sales associates on hand to pierce both ears simultaneously.
An exception: Some infants may require having their ears pierced one at a time, due to their inability to hold their head erect for an accurate piercing of both ears.

Care and Cleaning

We want you to know that the care of your infant's pierced ears is very important to us here at Piercing Pagoda. The earrings should remain in your infant's ears at all times for at least 6 - 8 months so that the piercing will not close overnight. Please follow our instructions for care and cleaning. We'll be seeing you in 4 weeks for your free follow up visit !
