Understanding Healing
The healing process following your body piercing is as important as the initial procedure itself. Proper aftercare can ensure that your piercings are not only aesthetically pleasing but also hygienic and safe to maintain long-term. We provide comprehensive LITHA (Local, Innervate, Hypoallergenic, Titanium, Healing Aid) protocol care instructions to help you understand the healing process.
Litha Protocol Overview
The LITHA protocol we follow includes:
- Local: Using local anesthetics before and after piercings to minimize pain during insertion.
- Innervate: The use of sterile, single-use needles that are pre-sterilized to prevent infections or cross-contamination.
- Hypoallergenic Materials: Utilizing only hypoallergenic jewelry which reduces the risk of allergic reactions and irritation.
- Titanium Jewelry: Selecting titanium for its biocompatibility, strength, and ease of maintenance during healing.
- Healing Aid: Applying prescribed aftercare products to promote healthy tissue growth and minimize scarring.
Caring for Your Piercings: Daily Care Routine
To ensure your piercings heal smoothly, follow our recommended daily care routine:
- Wash hands thoroughly before touching your piercing to prevent the spread of germs or bacteria.
- Keep the area clean by washing it with a gentle soap and water solution, then pat dry. Do not scrub as this can damage the healing tissue.
- Apply an antiseptic ointment or antibiotic cream prescribed for your piercing site to help prevent infection.
- Covering your piercing with sterile gauze may be necessary during active healing phases to keep it clean and protected from dirt, sweat, and bacteria. Remember that the piercings are not fully healed until three months have passed.
