Swelling goes down in two weeks, the piercing has a light heal by six weeks and a full heal by one year. Any time under a year the piercing can react to various health issues, getting sick or catching a cold for example. But no professional body piercer will consider a piercing seasoned until it's a year old.
The tongue is actually the fastest healing of all piercings due to the nature of the organ. The pain and swelling should stop within two weeks max, and the tongue should accept the jewelry and heal itself within two to three months. Other piercings may take up to a year to heal completely, but this is not the case with the tongue as it is cartilage-free and is a solid muscle therefore healing more quickly than connective tissue.
The tongue is two muscle complexes joined in the center by connective tissue and still requires an appropriate time to heal and season. 6~8 weeks for a light heal but is considered seasoned after a one year period. Based on over 17 years of providing professional piercing services in a licensed piercing facility.
The swelling should go down in a bout a week. Maybe longer if you try to eat or just play with it a lot. You shouldn't change it till the swelling has completely gone down which may take anywhere from 1-3 months.
Tongue piercings take 6 to 8 weeks to get a light heal, but the tongue is far from healed in that time, it can take another 2 months for the tongue to heal completely if not more depending on the level of your health.
A tongue piercing without complications can fully heal in four weeks. With complications, it may never heal and might have to be surgically closed. Every body piercing can result in sepsis and even death.
6 to 8 weeks for a light heal however it will take 6 months for the body to season and toughen the piercing to the point it can be removed for short periods of time (hour or two max) under the first year.
The actual piercing takes a split second, the entire procedure (prep, cleaning, piercing, jewelry insertion, clean-up, care instructions) takes about 15-20 minutes total from the time you walk back.
The tongue is the fastest healing part of the body. I'm thinking 6-7 days for the pain to stop for the most part. But try "Anbesol" for relief if you're the victim and it's taking longer than that. It is an over the counter temporary remedy for mouth ailments. Mothers give it to infants when they are cutting teeth.
The initial swelling from a tongue piercing generally goes down after between one and two weeks. At this point it is ok to change your barbell for a smaller one. Once the initial swelling has gone down, the piercing takes about another two weeks to fully heal. Tongue piercings close up extremely quickly though if the jewellery is left out - from as little as an hour.
If you're asking how long it will take for your tongue piercing to heal, it varies from person to person. It can take anywhere from a few hours after the piercing is done to 3 weeks or more. If it takes more than 3 weeks, I'd be on the lookout for signs of infection (puss, pain to the touch, a foul smell coming from your mouth, etc.).
it takes about 3-6 weeks keep rising it with non-acholic mouth wash, EX: Crest mouth wash.
it all depends on your body's ways of healing and it's own time frame. generally no more than 2 weeks. eat some ice chips and take some ibuprofen and that'll help
