A topical anesthetic will be applied to your skin before treatment. Other forms of anesthesia, or pain management, may also be used. SWELLING – Swelling (edema) of the treated area is common and may occur. This usually resolves in a few days. REDNESS – Redness (erythema) of the treated area is common and may occur. The erythema typically resolves in about two weeks. SKIN COLOR CHANGES – During the healing process, there is a possibility that the treated area may become either lighter (hypopigmentation) or darker (hyperpigmentation) in color compared to the surrounding skin. This is usually temporary, but, on a rare occasion, it may be permanent. You should avoid sun exposure after the treatment and use sunblock. MILIA/ACNE – Ointments that occlude hair follicles, sweat ducts, or sebaceous ducts may lead to milia/acne formation. This is more common in patients with a history of cystic acne or oily skin. WOUNDS – Treatment can result in burning, blistering, or bleeding of the treated areas. It is important that you not pick or scratch the sites as this may lead to permanent scars or promote an infection. If any of these occur, please call our office. CONTACT/ALLERGIC DERMATITIS OR SKIN SENSITIVITY – Potential increased sensitivity, irritation/itching or allergic reaction of the skin due to skin surface disruption. INFECTION – Infection is a possibility whenever the skin surface is disrupted which can lead to scarring. Proper wound care and keeping the treated area clean are important. If signs of infection develop, such as pain, heat, blisters, or surrounding redness, please call our office. SCARRING – Scarring is a rare occurrence, but it is a possibility if the skin surface is disrupted. To minimize the chances of scarring, it is IMPORTANT that you follow all post treatment instructions provided by your healthcare staff. TREATMENT PATTERN – A persistent spot size pattern may be apparent on the treated skin and usually resolves with time. In rare cases, it may be permanent. PETECHIAE – May appear for several weeks after healing and clear without treatment.

Important Safety Information: Expected Transient Events and Possible Adverse Effects
The procedure may result in the following adverse experiences or risks. This list may not include all possible risks. Discomfort. Mild discomfort is typical during the treatment of benign pigmented lesions. For tattoo removal treatments, where higher settings are typically used, moderate to significant discomfort is frequently reported. Most patients describe the discomfort as less than when the tattoo was applied. Some areas are more sensitive than others. Topical and local anesthetic options may be available if required. Immediate ashy change in benign pigmented lesions. Epidermal benign pigmented lesions will frost during treatment and then develop a thin gray crust, which sloughs 5-21 days after treatment. When the crust sloughs, the skin in the place of the treated lesions may appear lighter than the surrounding untreated skin. Hyperpigmentation. Brown darkening of the skin can occur as a result of the laser light or of the inflammation during healing. It may not appear immediately and may be seen a few weeks after treatment. Therefore, it is advisable to space treatments by several weeks. Hyperpigmentation is more likely to develop in darker or tanned skin, and it may be visible longer in darker skin or with sun exposure. Although it may last for some months, hyperpigmentation is often not permanent; this differs from hypopigmentation (loss of pigment), which in some cases can be permanent.Hypopigmentation. Lightening of the skin in the place of the treated lesion and around it is an anticipated adverse event in laser treatment of pigmented lesions. In clinical studies in which benign pigmented lesions were treated, hypopigmentation was observed in approximately 30% of subjects at 6 weeks and in some cases was observed at 12 week follow-up. Longer follow-up data is not available for resolution of hypopigmentation in these subjects. Petechiae and purpura. Pinpoint bleeding may occur at the treatment site and should resolve within 1-2 hours. The pinpoint blood should slough with the thin crusts above. Mild bruising may be evident in the skin surrounding the treated lesion in some cases. Blisters, oozing lasting more than one day, or bleeding lasting more than a few hours should be evaluated by the treating physician.Edema and erythema. Swelling (edema) and redness (erythema) often occur and may last a few days. Application of cold packs immediately after treatment may reduce these. Swelling that develops after a few days, especially if accompanied by new warmth or redness, should be evaluated. Allergic reaction. Patients who have had a prior allergic reaction to ink during tattoo application may have a similar reaction after laser treatment. Bullae/scabs/crusting. These may occur following tattoo treatment and usually take 4-10 days to heal. Texture changes. Transient texture changes are often noted but usually resolve with time. Infection. Despite good wound care, pain, swelling, oozing, and fever can indicate the development of an infection. Topical and/or oral antibiotics may be necessary. Scarring. Scarring is a rare occurrence, but it is a possibility if the skin’s surface is disrupted. To minimize the chances of scarring, it is important that patients follow all post-treatment instructions provided by their healthcare provider. Good post-treatment care can help reduce the possibility of scarring. Persistence of pigmented lesion. Multiple treatments are common, and complete clearing is not always possible. Incomplete tattoo removal. Multiple treatments are required, and complete clearing is not always possible. Not all ink colors and compositions will respond to tattoo removal treatment. Paradoxical darkening or color change. Some tattoo inks, including many lighter and skin- tone inks, may darken or change color in response to treatment. “Bleeding” of ink into surrounding skin. May result in smudging or loss of definition of a tattoo rather than removal.
Warnings: Do not treat or treat over dysplastic nevi or questionable pigmented lesions. Only benign pigmented lesions are treatable. Accurate pre-operative diagnosis is very important to prevent treatments on malignant lesions.
Precautions: Current medications (both routine and occasional use); Accutane – do not treat if taken in the last 6 months; Gold Therapy – may cause blue-gray discoloration; Photosensitizing drugs (Tetracycline, etc) – perform test spots and adjust parameters accordingly; Anticoagulants – may increase risk of purpura or bruising; Bleeding disorders; Vitiligo or history of pigmentary disorders, particularly tendency for hyper- or hypopigmentation; Herpes – heat from the treatment could induce a flare-up; pretreatment with an antiviral may be indicated; Wound infections; Open lesions – treatments should only be performed on intact, healthy skin; History of coagulopathies; History of keloid or hypertrophic scarring; Diabetes – may impede wound healing; History of seizure disorders due to light. Refer to the Operator Manual to view the laser safety labels of the product.

HYPOPIGMENTATION/ HYPERPIGMENTATION – During the healing process, there is a slight possibility that the treated area may become either lighter (hypopigmentation) or darker (hyperpigmentation) in color compared to the surrounding skin. This is usually temporary, but, on a rare occasion, it may be permanent.
Warnings: Do not treat over dysplastic nevi or questionable pigmented lesions. Do not treat over open wounds. Do not treat over or close to tattoos or permanent make-up. Do not treat over or close to metal or electronic implants. Hair removal by lasers or intense pulse light sources can cause increased hair growth in some individuals. Based upon currently available data, the highest risk groups for this response are females of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian heritage treated on the face and neck.
Precautions: Use caution when treating patients with any of the following: History of coagulopathies; History of keloids or hypertrophic scarring; History of herpes – pre-treatment with an antiviral may be indicated History of vitiligo – may cause de-pigmentation; Diabetes – may impede wound healing Metal or electronic implants; Current or recent use of the following medications: Accutane – do not treat if taken in the past 6 months; Gold Therapy – may cause blue-gray discoloration; Anticoagulants – may increase risk of purpura or bruising; Photosensitizing medications/agents. In addition, observe the following precautions: Use caution when treating over hair bearing areas. Laser energy may affect hair growth. Place moist gauze between the lips and teeth if treating near the mouth. Laser energy may affect teeth. Treat at least at least 15 cm (6 in) from pacemakers/defibrillators. Reaction to metal or electronic implants is unknown. Refer to the Operator Manual to view the laser safety labels of the product.
