Get answers to common questions about Daith.

Some people report reduced migraine frequency after Daith piercings, but scientific evidence is limited. Results vary widely; consult your healthcare provider if you have chronic migraines and discuss realistic expectations before getting pierced.

Most Daith piercings heal within 8 to 12 weeks, but cartilage piercings often take longer. Consistent aftercare, avoiding pressure and sleeping on the pierced side, and keeping the area clean help reduce complications and support proper healing.

You’ll feel a sharp pinch during the quick piercing; discomfort varies by person. Expect soreness and tenderness for several weeks. Our piercers use precise technique and aftercare guidance to minimize pain and promote a smooth recovery.

Clean the area twice daily with sterile saline or recommended solution, avoid touching with unwashed hands, do not rotate jewelry, and keep hair and headphones away. Follow our studio’s instructions and contact us if signs of infection appear.

Risks include infection, prolonged healing, keloids or hypertrophic scarring, and migration. Choosing experienced piercers, sterile jewelry, and following aftercare greatly reduces risk. Contact us promptly for concerns or if you notice unusual swelling, discharge, or persistent pain.

No — avoid changing jewelry until fully healed, usually several months. Early changes increase infection and migration risk. If you need a size or material change, schedule with our studio so a professional piercer can assess healing and safely swap jewelry.
