A helix piercing is a type of ear piercing done through the cartilage of the upper ear, specifically the helix, which is the outer rim of the ear. The helix is the most popular cartilage piercing location for women. This type of piercing is usually done with a small gauge needle, and the jewelry worn in a helix piercing is typically a small titanium stud or ring.

The healing process for a helix piercing can take anywhere from 4 to 6 months. As with any cartilage piercing, it is important to take good care of it during this time to prevent infection and promote healing. This includes avoiding certain activities, properly cleaning the piercing, and avoiding touching it with dirty hands. It’s recommended to consult a professional người xỏ khuyên or a doctor before getting a helix piercing.

It’s also worth noting that some people may experience more pain or swelling during the healing process of cartilage piercings compared to others and cartilage piercings tend to take longer to heal than other types of soft tissue piercings such as earlobe piercings.
