Helix healing takes 3 to 12 months.

Here are some important tips for your care:
- Before you start, remember to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and dry them with a clean towel.
- Clean the piercing gently with a mild anti-bacterial soap, removing all residue (lymph concretions) with a compress or a clean cotton swab, then rinse with lukewarm water and let dry.
- Apply physiological serum by gently moving the jewel, then dry
- Only for the first 15 days, apply a little antiseptic solution to the piercing and let it dry.
