DIY Piercing Repair kit
Piercing repairs, whether they are in the nose, lip, eyebrow, earlobe, belly button (umbilical) or anywhere else on the body, are performed when the hole has become stretched, ripped, torn or simply when the piercing is no longer wanted and the jewellery item has been removed.
The Cosmetic Image Clinics DIY Piercing Repair Kit includes TCA Acid and directions for application to repair piercings in the comfort of your own home. The risks are minimal if you just take extra care. Do not allow the acid solution to spill on your skin, do not inject it, and do not apply it close to the eye area.
What you will need (available from any reputable chemist):
+ Alcohol Swabs
+ Chemical Peel (Medical Grade) - included in purchase
+ Stratecal Wound Dressing
+ Compeed Repair Patch
+ Dermal Roller
Method of application:
Degrease the area to be treated with the alcohol swabs to get rid of dead skin cells and sweat.
Using a cotton bud, protect surrounding healthy skin with Vaseline.
Apply the chemical peel on clean, dry skin Wait for 2 minutes, and frosting or whitening of the area usually occurs. If it doesn’t repeat step 2. Repeat again if necessary for a maximum of 5 times.
Once it has frosted or whitened, apply a thin layer of Silicone Wound Dressing. Allow a few minutes for the solution to dry.
Apply a Compeed Repair Patch to the area.
Leave Compeed Repair Patch on for two weeks.
After the area has healed, repeat peel application every 2-4 weeks.
