Just got an eyebrow piercing?

I had my eyebrow pierced about 3 hours ago and the peircer explained how to take care of it and everything, but I wanted to hear some opinions from people that have gotten their eyebrow pierced ( or any other type of peircing done ). This is the first peircing I've ever had done so I'm a little paranoid about the whole healing process.

How long does it usually take for this type of piercing to heal, and what other steps can I take other than saline wash to ensure it heals properly?

What have your experiences with peircings been like?

Thank you!!!! : )

    Itll take anywhere from 4 to 10 weeks to heal depending on how your body reacts to it. The average is 6 weeks though.

    To care for it, use a sea salk soak or a lotion/creme/spray such as those from the brand H2Ocean. They are available at most piercing shops and hot topic. Keep it clean and DO NOT touch it or play with it unless your cleaning it. Avoid salt water for the first few weeks as well.

    DO NOT USE: Hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol, bar or liquid soap. They can all dry out the skin and prolong healing and poeeably cause it to reject.

    Have fun with your new decoration! ;D

    I had 10 piercings at one time and with all of them I took Neosporin and applied it on the ring and then moved the ring up and down so that it got in the piercing and it healed in about 3 days! No joke so just do that and also what the piercer told you and you will be just fine!

    if thats you on your picture then flip ur hott i also think that eye brow piercings look damn fyn wid ur luk...i love no-gaurd & a mohawk

    oops toattaly away from the question

    - normally apercing takes about 2-7 weeks

    - if you pierce any prt of your body you just need to keep it clean

    - when your washing your face make sure you dont rip it off (that happed to me when i was bathing sooooo sore)

    hope i helped (* *,)

    this may sound obvious but youd be suprised how many times i did it, watch your piercing when you take your shirt off or put one on. It was rediculous how many times my piercing got caught and sore.
