Ear Gauges

For you to be able to stretch your ears in a safe and healthy manner, you have to take it slow. The fistula or the piercing site must be thoroughly healed before you try to stretch it further. When you want to gauge up, the safe and healthy way is to gauge up two units at a time, for instance, you can move from 12G to 10G. When you reach the gauge numbered 10, the next stretches will be bigger with each consecutive gauge size. Check out the other ear gauging articles for different information on gauge sizes.

For your ears to avoid scars, make sure you stretch at a right pace and with one gauge per step. For every level of stretching, you must make sure that the wound must have healed completely before you put another gauge there. On normal conditions, the ear piercing site can heal at around two to three months all depending on how your body heals. But healing can also depend on the body’s condition or capacity. It will only be safe to stretch up once the wound has healed already.

Others who want to stretch their ears in a fast pace do use the technique known as scallpeling. Scallpeling is not recommended though, or even using dermal punches. These ways may not be safe enough for you and your ears. Check out professional opinion before you undertake them, or you can check ear-gauges.com for more information.

There are also healing oils which you can apply to your piercing for it to heal fast. Proper way of cleaning and taking care of your piercing can also be found on the Aftercare Instructions page.

Most people who speed up their process eventually find themselves facing the problem of destroyed ears. Scars can develop if the ears do not heal properly before they are stretched again. For you to have informed choices, keep on reading the ear gauging information articles.
