I understand that the efficacy of tattoo removal varies between individuals and that every patient heals differently. A small percentage of people will not respond satisfactorily to treatment. *

I understand that this is an elective procedure that is not medically necessary. It is a multi treatment process which isn’t considered complete after the initial treatment; it will require a number of treatments to achieve the desired results. *

I accept that after the treatment the direct area treated may show signs of swelling, redness, pinprick bleeding, bruising and in some cases blistering/ mild burns. There is also a risk of hypo-pigmentation (lightening of the skin) or hyper-pigmentation (darkening of the skin) as well as a rare side effect of permanent discolouration or scarring. I accept that I also may experience some discomfort during and after treatment.*

I accept that my tattoo will continue to lighten between treatments as my body’s immune system continues to remove broken down pigment molecules. This has been explained to me.*

I understand that I must avoid sun exposure on the treated area for the duration of the treatments (and for up to 1 month afterwards) I must keep it completely covered from sun exposure for 2 weeks either side of an appointment, and then wear an SPF 50 over it at all other times. *

I confirm I will strictly adhere to the aftercare instructions given to me. Should I get an infection post treatment I will visit my GP and I accept that this is because I do not live in sterile conditions. I will also let the clinic know, and contact them to discuss any concerns. *

I understand I will be provided with safety goggles to wear during my treatment to prevent damage from the light. *

I hereby give my written consent for Laser treatments for the purpose of removing my tattoo(s). I have read and fully understand all the points listed in this procedure consent form. I accept full responsibility for any complications that may arise during or following the treatment. *
