Small hoop earrings after ear piercing – The right time
Proper care after piercing
After ear piercing, an important healing phase begins. Proper care is crucial to avoid complications. Keep your piercing clean and dry by using 3% diluted hydrogen peroxide several times a day. 3% diluted hydrogen peroxide Provides gentle cleansing of the freshly pierced area and optimally supports the healing process. We recommend purchasing only 3% diluted hydrogen peroxide in pharmacy-grade quality. You can find this at well-stocked drugstores or directly from your local pharmacy.
Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching your ears. Gently rotate the earrings twice a day to prevent sticking. An important tip: Use hydrogen peroxide with a clean cotton swab to clean the front and back of your ears. It's normal to experience slight bleeding, swelling, or itching for the first few weeks. These symptoms indicate that your body is actively working on the healing process.
When is the right time for hoop earrings?
Switching to hoop earrings is exciting, but it shouldn't be done too soon. Experts generally recommend waiting at least 6 to 8 weeks after piercing before switching from earrings to Hoop earrings The reason for this is simple: the tissue around your piercing needs time to fully heal and become stable.

Understanding the healing process
The healing of an ear piercing takes place in several phases:
-
Acceptance phase
Immediately after the piercing, the acceptance phase begins, during which your body attempts to heal the wound. This phase can last from several days to weeks.
-
Proliferation phase
The proliferation phase begins around the second day and lasts four to six weeks. During this time, new tissue forms around the piercing, slowly closing the wound.
-
Remodeling phase
This final phase can last up to two years. During this time, the tissue around the piercing is fully stabilized and strengthened.
