Getting your ears pierced is exciting, but healing takes time. If you got ear piercings in Irvine or anywhere in Orange County, you might wonder how long until they’re fully healed. The answer depends on where your piercing is and how well you take care of it. At OC MedDerm, we help with ear piercings in Orange County and earlobe repair in Irvine & Orange County.
Healing Time for Different Piercings
Earlobe piercings usually heal in 6–8 weeks. They’re the easiest and fastest to heal.
Cartilage piercings (like helix, tragus, or daith) take 3–12 months because cartilage heals slower.
Industrial piercings (the bar across the ear) can take 6–12 months since they go through two spots.
Conch, rook, and daith piercings also take 6–12 months because they’re in thicker cartilage.
How to Help Your Piercing Heal Faster
Clean your piercing twice a day with saline solution.
Don’t touch it with dirty hands—this can cause infections.
Avoid sleeping on that side to prevent irritation.
Keep the jewelry in—don’t change it too soon, or the hole might close.
Watch for problems like redness, swelling, or pus. If you see these, visit a rash doctor in Irvine for help.
