The position is marked and confirmed before the procedure.
Piercing.

Aftercare
You receive instructions about cleaning, pressure and changing the jewellery.
Helix piercing made according to ear anatomy.
The helix is a piercing placed in the outer cartilage of the ear. The position can be lower or higher, depending on anatomy and the desired visual effect.
Before piercing, the cartilage thickness, angle and space needed for the jewellery are checked. Correct positioning reduces unnecessary pressure and helps the jewellery settle naturally.
Initial jewellery
The jewellery used immediately after the procedure must allow normal inflammation in the first days. Do not change it before the recommended period and do not replace it with a hoop that is too tight.
Helix healing
The initial indicative period communicated by the salon is about 30 days. The cartilage may remain sensitive longer, and full maturation varies depending on the body, position, pressure and care.
Avoid sleeping directly on the ear, headphones pressing the area, knocks and snagging on hair or clothes. For care, read the guide about correct piercing cleaning.
Simple care. Consistent.

What you should do.

- Use sterile 0.9% saline solution.

- Protect the ear from pressure and knocks.
