Aftercare

1. Scrub hands thoroughly.
2. First the container (eggcup) used to hold the serum and water solution must be sterilized with boiling water.
3. The eggcup is then 1/3 filled with boiling water and left to cool.
4. Then add 8 drops of Synapse Healing Serum to the 1/3 full eggcup. The solution is now ready for use. This is weak solution that does not irritate or inflame the new tissue that is forming within the new piercing.
5. A new cotton bud is dipped into the solution and gently squeezed above the piercing allowing the solution to flood into and around the new piercing.
6. A very gentle wriggle of the jewellery in the piercing will help facilitate the solution flooding into the new piercing. This is important as the serum will form a micro-fine coating around the piercings new wall and help stop any bacteria entering the blood stream. This is particularly important during the first few weeks of a new piercings life. It can take 2-3 weeks for the new skin to form inside a new piercing, until this happens the wound is in effect open and exposed.
7. After a short while soaking, any matter and serum should be gently wiped away from the piercing site with a new cotton bud.
8. No`s 5-7 should be carried out on both entry and exit holes of the piercing.
9. After bathing the piercing should be gently dried with a new dry cotton bud.
10. With a new piercing this process is carried out twice daily for the first fortnight and once daily for the second 2 weeks.
11. Thereafter clean as necessary.

The above are instructions for use with new healthy piercings. A small amount of redness and swelling is usual with a new piercing.
The serum can also be used undiluted if a slight infection is present. The Serum is applied undiluted for 3 days the used diluted for a fortnight afterwards. If infection persists –consult your doctor or piercer.
