I consent and authorize the staff at laser luxury to perform laser procedures and related services on me. The procedure planned uses laser technology for the removal of tattoos. As a client, you have the right to be informed about your treatment so that you may make the decision whether to proceed for laser tattoo removal or decline after knowing the risks involved. This disclosure is to help to inform you prior to your consent for treatment about the risks, side effects and possible complications related to laser tattoo removal. - Typically tattoo pigment reduction requires at least 9 to 12 treatments.
- The treatments are generally at least 8 to 10 weeks apart. Closer intervals do not increase the reduction of pigment.
- Topical anesthetic is recommended. The cream must be applied 24 hours before the treatment and can be sent home with you after the first treatment.
The following problems may occur with tattoo removal treatment: - The possible risks of the procedure include but are not limited to pain, purpura, swelling, redness, bruising, blistering, crusting/scab formation, ingrown hairs, infection, and unforeseen complications which can last up to many months, years or permanently. There is a risk of scarring and or bleeding, pinpoint bleeding is rare but can occur.
- Short term effects may include reddening, mild burning, temporary bruising or blistering. A brownish flash red darkening of the skin known as hyperpigmentation or lightening of the skin known as hyperpigmentation may occur. This usually resolves in weeks, but it can take up to six months or more to heal. Permanent color change is a rare risk. Loss of freckle or purple pigmented lesions can occur.
- Textural and or color changes in the skin can occur and can be permanent period many of the cosmetic tattoo and body tattoos are made with iron oxide pigments. Iron oxide can turn red dash brown or black. Titanium oxide and other pigments may also turn black. This black or dark color may be unremovable. Because of the immediate whitening of the exposed treated area by the laser, there can be a temporary obscuring of ink, which can make it difficult or impossible to notice a specific color change from the tattoo removal process.
- Infection: although infection following treatment is unusual, bacterial, fungal and viral infections can occur. Herpes simplex virus infections around the mouth can occur following a treatment. This applies to both individuals with a past history of herpes simplex virus infections and individuals with no known history of herpes simplex virus infections in the mouth area. Should any type of skin infection occur, additional treatments or medical antibiotics may be necessary.
- Allergic reactions: there have been reports of hypersensitivity to various tattoo pigments during the tattoo removal process especially if the tattoo pigment contains mercury, cobalt or chromium. The pigments can induce a severe allergic reaction that can occur with each successive treatment. Some patients can have superficial erosions, bruising, blistering, milia, redness and swelling which can last up to many months, years or permanently.
- Compliance with aftercare guidelines is crucial for healing, prevention of scarring, and hyperpigmentation. Aftercare guidelines include avoiding the sun for two months after the procedure. Even with mild sun exposure a sunscreen of SPF 25 or greater must be used, or keep the area covered.
- Triple antibiotic ointment must be used during healing for at least 4-7 days after the procedure or longer if any irritation occurs.
- Multiple treatments will be necessary to achieve desired results. No guarantee, warranty or any assurance has been made to me ask the results that may be obtained. Complete touch of removal is not always possible as tattoos were meant to be permanent.
