Septum Piercing

A septum piercing is a type of piercing that goes through the thin, soft piece of skin called the septum, which separates the nostril in the nose. The piercing is typically placed in the small gap of skin just the cartilage that separates the nostrils. This type of piercing has been practiced by various cultures throughout history and is known for its versatility and relatively quick healing time.

A septum piercing type goes through the thin strip of skin between the nostrils. It is usually done by a professional piercer using a sterilized needle. The process involves the following steps:.
1. The piercer will discuss your desired piercing, it's placement, and potential jewelry options. They may also assess the area to ensure it's suitable for piercing.
2. The piercer will clean the area with antiseptic solution to minimize the risk of infection.
3. The piercer will mark the precise location where the piercing will be placed. This allows you to revise and approve the placement before the actual piercing.
4. The piercer will use a piercing needle to create a hole in the marked area. For eyebrow piercing, this is typically done in a way that the jewelry lies flat against the skin.
5. Once the holes is made, the piercer will immediately insert the chosen jewelry into the piercing.
6. After the piercing is complete, the piercer will provide you with aftercare instructions. It's crucial to follow aftercare instructions carefully to promote proper healing and minimize the risk of complications.

Here are the guidelines to take care of your septum piercing:
1. Avoid sleeping on the side of the new piercing to prevent unnecessary pressure.
2. Minimize touching the piercing, especially with unwashed hands, to prevent the introduction of bacteria.
3. Use a saline solution to clean the piercing site once a day.
4. Keep your hair away from the piercing, and be cautious with clothing that might snag on the jewelry.
5. Avoid removing the earrings during the initial healing period, which can vary but typically lasts for 2-4 months.
6. Refrain from swimming in pools, hot tubs, or other bodies of water until the piercing is fully healed.
7. Consult with your piecer if you notice any bump, irritation, infection or any feeling of deep discomfort. Follow up as needed.

The healing time for septum piercing can vary from person to person, but on average, it usually takes about 2-4 months for the initial healing phase. However, it's important to note that while the visible part of the piercing may seem healed within this timeframe, the internal healing process continues for several months.
