Client's Risk and Practitioners Responsibilities

The Practitioner has a responsibility to make sure the Consultation is very thorough and the whole procedure is conducted in sequence. Also the client’s choice of shape and colour is adhered to, and the client is given all the information necessary regarding the treatment, healing and aftercare.

The risk the client has to accept is that the degree of fading of the pigment is governed by the amount of bleeding experienced during the procedure, the health of the skin and the particular colour chosen. Also if the client is very nervous and extra sensitive to the discomfort of the treatment, it makes the implantation more difficult for the Operator.

Touch-up Treatments

If the pigment fades in one or two small areas after about nine months or so, it is not the fault of the operator. Any additional treatment necessary after the first and follow-up treatment will be charged for.

Touch-up treatments are $150.00 per hour. Where the pigment has been allowed to fade out almost completely after a number of years it may be necessary to charge the full treatment cost as a follow-up may be necessary. This is however, discussed with the client once the degree of work involved has been established and a price is negotiated.

Fading Rate of the Pigments

The blue- based pigments heal darkest in the skin and stay longer longest Yellow-based pigments heal the lightest and last a shorter period of time than the blue and red-based pigments.
