  • I request and authorize Beauty Marx and it's designated provider(s) to perform the following procedure utilizing temperature controlled radio frequency technology:

    Radio Frequency treatment of the vulvo-vaginal region:

  • The areas for treatment have been reviewed with me today and I am in agreement. I have been thoroughly and completely advised regarding the objectives of the procedure. I understand that the practice of medicine and surgery is not an exact science and although these procedures are effective in most cases, no results have been guaranteed. I acknowledge that imperfections might ensue and that the operative result may not live up to my expectations. I understand that clinical results may vary based on many variables such as age, lifestyle and current conditions.

    The treatment will involve applying heat to the vulvar and vaginal tissues using radio frequency for therapeutic purposes.

  • I am aware of the following possible experiences and/or risks associated with the procedure:

    • Discomfort during and/or after the treatment
    • Possibility of over treating, resulting in painful intercourse
    • Some mild swelling and/or temporary redness following procedure
    • Potential for transient over-active bladder
    • Injury to bowel and/or bladder
    • Scarring 
    • Burns
    • Infection (urinary tract, vaginal infection) is uncommon, but should it occur, treatment with antibiotics and/or surgical intervention may be required. Infection can further increase the risk of scarring. Proper wound care is important in the prevention of infection. If signs of infection such as pain, heat, blisters, or surrounding redness develop, call the office immediately.
