FAQ
What happens during a treatment?
After an initial consultation the shape and colour of your treatment is agreed on between the client and technician and the pigment is placed into the skin accordingly. The whole process for one area takes approximately one hour. The treatment is painless as a topical numbing agent is used throughout the treatment.
How soon can I go out?
You can usually go about your daily routine immediately but some clients experience some swelling and redness which normally subsides within 48 hrs. The colour will be approximately 40% darker and the area may be dry and flaky for 3-7 days after the treatment.
How long will the effects last?
Some pigment will remain in the skin permanently but will gradually fade over time.
It varies from client to client but generally lasts 3 to 5 years. We recommend a colour boost within 2 years to maintain freshness.
What if fashions change?
We would never perform a treatment that is too dramatic or trendy. The idea is to enhance rather than change your features. Colours are chosen to compliment your skin tone, hair and eye colour. Colours can be intensified or changed at any time if you wish.
Is there any chance of infection?
The strictest sterilisation procedures are adhered to at all times. A new, single use disposable, sterile needle is used for your complete safety. All procedures conform to the British and European Health and Safety standards. Lip treatments may occasionally cause a cold sore. Clients who are prone to an outbreak should use a topical treatment for a few days beforehand.
What about allergic reaction?
Tattoo pigments have been used for thousands of years and reactions are very rare. Nouveau Contour pigments are of the highest grade and are hypoallergenic. However we do always advise a patch test.
