Average healing times for piercings are intended as a guide only. It's important to note that every piercing heals differently, influenced by factors such as anatomy, lifestyle, and aftercare practices. Specifically, ear piercing healing times can vary significantly, as can facial piercing healing times and oral piercing healing times.

Before Changing Your Jewellery

Healing times shown on this page are averages and should be used as a guide only.

Every person's body heals differently, and factors such as your anatomy, lifestyle, general health, and aftercare routine can all affect the average healing times for piercings. For example, ear piercing healing times can vary significantly, and even if a piercing appears healed on the outside, it may still be recovering beneath the surface. Changing or removing your jewellery too soon can cause irritation, delay healing, and increase the risk of complications. If you're uncertain whether your piercing has fully healed or if it's ready for a jewellery change, visit Twisted Steel for a professional assessment, especially if you're dealing with facial or oral piercing healing times. Should you experience excessive pain, severe swelling, unusual discharge, or suspect that your piercing may be infected, it’s essential to contact Twisted Steel or seek appropriate medical advice.
