After receiving a piercing at Adrenaline, it is essential that an aftercare routine is followed to ensure that successful healing occurs. We recommend using a liquid antimicrobial scrub, such as Satin, once a day. The scrub is easiest to use in the shower. Prior to cleaning, wash your hands well and set out some cotton swabs to aid in your cleaning. Using a cotton swab saturated with warm water, first, gently remove any crusted matter from your piercing. Place a small amount of Satin on a new cotton swab and lather it around the piercing and onto the jewelry. Let the Satin sit for 30 seconds and rinse off. Gently pat the piercing dry with a clean paper towel. You should not move or rotate the piercing while cleaning.
In addition to the antimicrobial scrub, we also recommend a sea salt soak once a day in order to remove any drainage, or exudates, from the piercing. Dissolve three large rocks, or 1/8 teaspoon of sea salt in a full 8 oz. glass of warm water. Form a seal with the edge of the glass against your skin and soak the piercing for five minutes. When soaking is complete, be sure to rinse the piercing with warm water and pat dry with a clean paper towel. During the healing time, especially in the first 4-6 weeks, avoid swimming pools, hot tubs, baths, lakes, etc. and try your best to never touch the piercing with dirty hands.
If you receive an oral piercing at Adrenaline, we recommend rinsing with an antimicrobial mouthwash such as Tech 2000 no more than three times a day. However, you must be rinsing your mouth after you eat or drink anything, except water. For most rinsing, we recommend sea salt rinses. Again mix three rocks, or 1/8 teaspoon, into a full 8 oz. glass of warm water. Rinse your mouth with either the sea salt or Tech 2000 for at least 30 seconds. Maintain this cleaning routine for at least 2-3 weeks.
After receiving an oral piercing it is a good idea to avoid spicy or acidic foods and try to minimize alcohol, caffeine and smoking to avoid any irritation to the piercing. Also avoid contact with other bodily fluids, such as wet kissing or oral sex, for at least 4-6 weeks after the piercing. To relieve swelling during healing time, be sure to stay hydrated by drinking lots of water and let ice cubes melt in your mouth (avoid sucking or chewing). Once the swelling of your piercing comes down (usually 2-4 weeks), we suggest that you downsize the jewelry to avoid chipping teeth or gum recession.
Happy Healing!!!!!
