Ear Care Procedure

Though post-piercing complications are rare when using Studex or Roman Research products as directed, statistics show that by far the greatest percentage of all post-piercing complications are caused through negligent after-care procedures performed by the customer. In order to promote a trouble-free healing process, you should observe the following after-care advice.

• Wash hands thoroughly before touching studs or ear.
• Cleanse front and back of ear with an ear care solution or gel at least twice a day without removing the studs. Then rotate studs 2 or 3 time, 180 degrees left and 180 degrees right, i.e. half turns only, thus avoiding hair wrapping around the post at the back of the lobe. In between cleansing, keep ears DRY.

DO NOT:

• Remove the studs or handle your ears and/or studs unnecessarily.
• Push the butterfly along the post towards the ear - the butterfly must always be positioned at the tip of the post. Feel the back of the butterfly each time you cleanse the ear - it must feel smooth.

DO:

• Leave studs in ears for 6 weeks continuously (12 seeks cartilage).
• After 6 weeks (12 weeks cartilage), the studs can be removed and other post-type earrings may be worn continuously.
• Use on post style earrings continuously for the first 5 month from piercing (12 months for cartilage). The post should be surgical stainless steel or other hypo-allergenic material.
• Keep hairspray, soap, shampoo and other preparations away from the ear. After shampooing, the ear should be rinsed with clear water and then prepared with a ear care product as described above.
• Minor pain or redness may occur immediately - this is normal. This should settle within 48 hours provided proper after-care is carried out. If undue pain, swelling or redness occurs at any time, seek medical advice immediately, before removing the ear piercing stud.

EAR CARTILAGE:

Due to the nature of ear cartilage, extra care should be observed during the healing period. Minor pain and redness may occur immediately - this is normal. This should settle within 48 hours provided proper after-care is carried out. If undue pain, swelling or redness occurs at any time, seek medical advice immediately, before removing the ear piercing stud. Failure to properly follow after-care procedures or to seek immediate medical advice, should a problem occur, may result in permanent scarring to the ear cartilage.
