How can I tell when a piercing is completely healed?

I got a VCH and 2 outer labias done about a month ago. The VCH is doing great and seems to be completely healed. But I've heard conflicting stories on how long it takes for outer labias to heal. The piercer who did it said 4-6 months, I've seen online 6-8 months and another pro piercer who just changed the jewelry said about 2 months. I also had to switch from the circle barbels that were first put in to captive rings (cbr) because the circle barbells were getting hooked together when I walked and would pull. Is that going to affect healing times? I haven't had any obvious signs of infection (no redness or swelling, drainage, pus, bleeding or anything else). I'm also doing a antibacterial soap followed by sea salt soak twice a day for cleaning. Is there anything else I can do to help them heal faster? Personal experiences are welcome here, as well as pro piercers. NO DUMB OR RUDE COMMENTS PLEASE! Thanks.
