NEGLIGENT BEAUTY TREATMENT – WE RECOVERED £7,500 FOR OUR CLIENT!

Miss C received negligent beauty treatment after a course of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) hair removal.

BURN INJURY

Miss C had a tattoo on the inside of her wrist which should have been covered during the treatment. Also, the settings of the treatment should have been reduced because of the existence of the tattoo. Unfortunately, these protective measures were not taken by the beautician and as a result, Miss C suffered a burn injury to the inside of her wrist.

SCARRING

Following the treatment, Miss C was unhappy with the appearance of her tattoo and resultant scarring from the negligent treatment and contacted us. We sent her to be examined by a Plastic Surgeon in relation to the burn who prepared a Medical Report confirming that due to the negligent treatment, missing pieces from the tattoo had left a scarred area in the shape of the letters of the tattoo and a ghosting of tattoo pigment with an area of uneven skin pigmentation within.

COSMETIC CAMOUFLAGE MAKE UP

There were two possible treatment options available to Miss C: 1) Removal of the tattoo by laser treatment or 2) Application of cosmetic camouflage using make-up. The Plastic Surgeon advised he did not consider laser tattoo removal would be of benefit as she would still be left with ghosting. We successfully recovered £7,500 for Miss C’s pain, suffering and loss of amenity. In addition, she was able to recover future treatment costs in the sum of £4,500 to cover either laser tattoo removal or the skin camouflage make-up.
