To the Patient: You have a right to be informed about your condition and its treatment, so that you may decide whether or not to undergo the procedure after knowing the risks and hazards involved. This disclosure is not meant to scare or alarm you; it is simply an effort to make you better informed so you may give, or withhold, your consent for treatment.
1. I voluntarily request that Medisthetics & Laser Clinic Medical Technician may perform the Peel procedure. I acknowledge having been informed that this cosmetic procedure is intended to remove surface layers of the skin to improve the vitality of the skin.
2.Peels, despite their high levels of efficacy and safety, are not free of side effects. Erythema (redness) and edema (swelling) of the treated area can occur but usually subsides within a few hours but can last up to seven days or longer. Irritation, itching, and/or mild burning sensation or pain similar to sunburn may occur within 48 hours of treatment.
3. It is important to use sun screen of SPF 30 or greater when exposed to the sun or when around blue light devices.
4. A chemical peel can be used to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve texture/tone, reduce pore size, increase hydration and moisture retention, give skin a smoother appearance and diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
5.Multiple treatments are required in order to obtain optimal results spaced 2-6 weeks apart. Due to variables such as age, condition of your skin, sun damage, smoking, skin care products, climate, life-style, and general health, you acknowledge that there are no guarantees, warranties or assurances that you will be satisfied with your results.
