Healing advice kept simple
We explain how to keep the area clean and handle it carefully while it settles.
A clear, calm appointment from the first step
Ear piercing feels much easier when you know what is going to happen before anything starts. We talk through placement with you first, then prepare the area carefully before the piercing itself so the appointment feels clear rather than rushed. That short conversation at the beginning matters, especially if you're feeling a little nervous or want to be sure the position looks right for everyday wear. In Abingdon, the service also includes cleaning solution so you can begin aftercare with the right support already to hand.
Looking after your piercing while it heals
Good aftercare is what helps a new piercing settle as well as possible, so we explain the simple routine before you leave. Keeping the area clean, following handling guidance and staying consistent through the healing period all make a difference. The included cleaning solution forms part of that routine rather than being an afterthought. It is also worth noting that ear piercing is separate from Hopi ear candling, so if you have seen both listed, they are entirely different treatments with different purposes.
Frequently asked questions
What is included with an ear piercing appointment?
We include placement discussion, preparation, the piercing itself and initial aftercare guidance. Cleaning solution is also part of the appointment, which means you leave with something practical to use as your routine begins.
How should we look after a new ear piercing?
Keeping the area clean, handling it as little as possible and following the guidance we give you are the main points. Aftercare does not need to feel complicated, but it does need consistency while the piercing settles and heals.
Is ear piercing the same as Hopi ear candling?
No. We list them separately because they are completely different treatments with different purposes. Ear piercing is about creating and caring for a new piercing, while Hopi ear candling is another service entirely.
