Why should you consider Elegant Image for your piercing?
If you are considering a body piercing procedure please be aware that all invasive procedure are serious and In this era of blood-borne diseases you MUST be very careful who you have perform your piercing, the consequences can be great.
We encourage you to visit our Skin Body & Day Spa Centre and inspect the Piercing environment, you will find the facility is well lit and maintained clean and orderly. All Instruments to be utilised during a procedure will be sterile with disposable items such as gloves, needle, disposable towels, cotton swabs, and gauze pads will all be new and maintained in their individual original sterile packaging or in sterile envelopes.
We will discuss your piercing and answer any questions before and after the piercing is performed. Our aim is make you feel comfortable and at ease. The piercer will review the piercing procedure and provide you with both oral and written aftercare instructions. The piercer will discuss the risks and possible complications associated with the piercing, which may include infection, migration or rejection, scarring, allergy or sensitivity to the jewellery, allergy or sensitivity to the aftercare products, and suggest a course of action in case a problem does occur.
Because everyone is built differently, not everyone is anatomically suited for every piercing. Certain daily activities and sports can prolong healing or prohibit certain piercings. After consultation our experienced piercers will be able to ascertain if the piercing is likely to be successful.
We will require that you complete a waiver that describes the limits of piercer liability as well as what you should expect before, during and after the piercing procedure. This waiver serves to protect both the piercer and customer. It is your responsibility to inform the piercer of any medical conditions which may be exacerbated by the piercing procedure or of conditions which may interfere with the healing process.
Elegant Image only practiced aseptic techniques, that includes appropriate sterilisation of instruments and jewellery, disinfection of surfaces, and we employ procedures that avoid cross-contamination. Every reusable instrument used that comes into contact with your body or with the jewellery will come from sealed sterilisation envelopes complete with sterilisation indicators. The needle and jewellery will remain in their individual sterilisation envelopes until they are used.
All jewellery used will be sterilised in individual autoclave packages that are opened in front of you. All jewellery that has been stored in a display case or handled with bare hands for any reason what-so-ever are re-sterilised, the same policy is applied to jewellery you may bring in whether it has been previously been worn or not.
Elegant Image piercers wear new, disposable gloves and face masks throughout the procedure and will change gloves when appropriate to avoid cross contamination. Cross contamination occurs when a clean or sterile item comes into contact with a contaminated item. Cross contamination also occurs when a clean or sterile item is handled with contaminated gloves or gloves that have been worn to handle contaminated items. To prevent cross contamination of sterile instruments during the piercing procedure, the piercer will change gloves if s/he touches anything that is non-sterile or unsuitably contaminated (ie. handled with bare hands or used instruments that have not been sterilised). After the piercer completes the piercing procedure, s/he will change gloves before handling items that will not be disposed of or autoclaved.
