Where the healing times come from. Perfect Image publishes two figures — “Earlobes typically heal in 6-8 weeks, while cartilage and body piercings may take 3-6 months or longer.” A placement shows a figure only where their own description puts it in one of those two categories. The other 6 show a dash rather than a number borrowed from somewhere else.
Their rooms, their photographs
Their aftercare, unedited. The order is theirs too.
Gently cleanse the area twice daily with a sterile saline solution, essential for preventing infections.
Minimize touching the piercing to avoid irritation — super important for nipple or nose piercings, and a good guideline for all of them.
Unusual redness, swelling or discharge. Consult one of our piercers if symptoms arise. Do not remove the jewellery.
Limit anything that stresses the area, especially with an oral piercing or an active lifestyle.
Never Alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. Both irritate the piercing and slow the healing. They recommend NeilMed saline and Cetaphil by name.
