Piercing removal is typically a simple process that can be done at home or by a professional. The jewelry is carefully removed from the piercing and the area is cleaned with an antiseptic solution to prevent infection.
The process of piercing removal should not be painful, although some discomfort or sensitivity may be felt as the jewelry is removed.
The length of time it takes to remove a piercing will depend on the type of jewelry and the location of the piercing. In most cases, the process can be completed in a matter of minutes.
After piercing removal, it is important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection. Avoid touching or rubbing the area and avoid re-inserting jewelry until the piercing has fully healed. If you experience any pain, swelling, or signs of infection, seek medical attention.
