PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING

Before booking your removal treatment, please take a moment to review the information below.

Most clients are suitable for PMU and Tattoo Removal treatments. However, certain medical conditions, medications, skin conditions and health factors may affect your suitability for treatment or require additional medical clearance.

If you are unsure whether a removal treatment is suitable for you, please contact us before booking and we will be happy to help.

YOU ARE UNABLE TO HAVE PMU OR TATTOO REMOVAL IF YOU ARE / HAVE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING

  • Under the age of 18 as it is illegal
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding as there is a risk of infection which can be harmful to both mother and baby
  • If you have viral infections or diseases
  • Blood Clotting Disorders/Haemophilia
  • If you have had major heart issues or organ transplants
  • Have skin irritations/Eczema or Psoriasis on the area to be treated
  • If you are currently taking prescription acne medication
  • Medically diagnosed Keloid Scarring
  • Hyperpigmentation

YOU MAY STILL BE SUITABLE FOR PMU OR TATTOO REMOVAL IF YOU ARE / HAVE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING, BUT YOU WILL NEED MEDICAL CONSENT / DOCTOR APPROVAL

  • After stopping certain acne medications

Laser removal may only be suitable once acne treatment has been completed and your skin has fully recovered. Some medications can increase skin sensitivity and affect healing. Please consult your healthcare professional if you are unsure whether treatment is suitable for you.

  • Topical steroids

Topical steroids may thin and weaken the skin. Depending on the condition and sensitivity of the skin, the treatment area may not be suitable for laser removal. Doctor approval may be required before proceeding with treatment.

  • Cold sores

Clients who are prone to cold sores may experience a flare-up following treatment around the lip area. Please seek advice from your GP or pharmacist before treatment if you have a history of cold sores.

  • Diabetes

Diabetes may affect healing, circulation, skin recovery, and the body’s response to laser treatments. Healing may take longer and longer intervals between sessions may sometimes be required. If your diabetes is not well controlled, medical clearance from your GP or specialist may be required before proceeding with treatment.

  • Epilepsy

Medication may cause side effects which may result in fainting during the treatment.

  • Current medications

Some of them can affect healing and recovery from treatment

  • Blood-thinning medications

Long term use of certain medications and supplements may affect blood clotting, increase bruising, and prolong healing following laser removal treatments. Please seek medical advice if you are unsure whether treatment is suitable for you.

  •  Autoimmune disease (cancer, HIV etc.)

You should get clearance from your doctor before considering laser removal treatment.

  • Glaucoma

Please inform us before treatment, especially for treatments performed very close to the eye area.

  • Vitiligo

There is a risk of spreading the vitiligo. I cannot treat white areas, but I am able to work around them as long as you are happy to accept the risk.

  • General health

You should always be fit and well, and not under the influence of drugs or alcohol. You should avoid heavy drinking the day prior to your treatment, as alcohol can thin the blood and increase bruising and sensitivity after laser removal treatment.

YOU MAY NEED TO WAIT BEFORE HAVING PMU OR TATTOO REMOVAL IF YOU’VE RECENTLY HAD ANY OF THE FOLLOWING

  • Eye surgery

If you have had eye surgery, corneal procedures, or other eye-related treatments, you may need to wait before undergoing laser removal close to the eye area. Please consult your doctor beforehand.

  • Scars

Scars from surgery or injury must be fully healed prior to treatment.

  • Skin conditions or irritations

Any pimples, active cold sores, bruises, sunburn or other skin irritations in the area to be treated, they will have to be fully healed before you are ready for your laser removal procedure. If there are any moles in the area, they may need to be avoided during treatment.

  • Active skincare & aesthetic treatments:

Please avoid active prescription skincare, retinoid-based products, strong exfoliation, chemical peels, microneedling, dermal rollers, injectable treatments, and other intensive aesthetic procedures for at least 3–4 weeks before your appointment and until healing is completed (approximately 4–6 weeks).

These treatments may increase skin sensitivity and irritation, which can affect the healing process following laser removal.

If you are unsure whether a recent skincare or aesthetic treatment may affect your suitability for laser removal, please contact us before booking.
