Consent and Acknowledgment

To perform laser tattoo removal on me. I understand the following points and have had the opportunity to ask questions during my consultation.

  • Treatment is successful on most clients but my individual results cannot be guaranteed.

  • Most clients require 8 – 10 treatments to achieve up to 80% pigmentation reduction, some may require more. Outcome will vary and

    individual results depend on many factors, thus it is extremely difficult to advise on exact number of treatments required.

  • Darker skin type clients will require additional treatments.

  • Exposure to UV Rays will compromise my treatment, therefore I will use SPF 50+ sunscreen.

  • Home care requirements.

  • Treatment process.

  • Side effects.

Risks associated with laser tattoo removal:

Even though the risk of complication is extremely low, the following can occur:

  • Pigment changes (light or dark spots on the skin) lasting 1 – 6 months. Freckles may temporarily or permanently disappear in treated areas.

  • Other potential risk includes crusting, itching, pain, bruising, pimple-like bumps, dry skin, hypopigmentation (lightening of the skin),

  • hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin), blistering, burns, infection, scabbing, swelling, a very small risk of scarring and a failure to achieve the desired result.

  • Allergic or delayed inflammatory reactions can develop. A test patch is performed to ascertain reaction of the skin.

  • Laser can cause eye injury and protective eyewear must be worn during treatment.
