For comfort and maximum impact, we'd recommend wearing a seamless clicker hoop or a front facing hoop designed specifically for the septum. Most people are pierced with a slightly larger hoop initially and then can size down to a tighter fit once the swelling has subsided if they wish. To ensure your septum piercing heals well, we would recommend the following tips: Gently clean your new piercing twice daily with a sterile saline solution - we love PierceMed piercing mist. Moisture can lead to bacteria so make sure you dry the area afterwards - the cool setting on a hairdryer works well.Take extra care when removing clothes and styling hair to avoid snagging the jewellery.Avoid swimming in lakes, pools or hot tubs for 2-3 weeks while the piercing is still fresh.Visit your piercer for a routine check up consultation around 6 weeks after. They'll check if you need to downsize the post of your stud - downsizing can help the healing process once the initial swelling has subsided.And lastly, leave it alone as much as possible and let the natural healing process occur. How long does a septum piercing take to heal? A septum piercing can take anywhere between 3-6 months to fully heal but this varies from person to person.
