INTRODUCTION
Venus Versa™ (MP) 2 treatments use a non-surgical radio frequency, pulsed electromagnetic device designed to tighten the skin, reduce circumference, and soften wrinkles. The device delivers radio frequency and pulsed electromagnetic energy targeted at the tissue, designed to damage the existing collagen, stimulating the body’s healing response. Once the collagen has been damaged, the body begins to repair the skin by replacing the damaged tissue with new collagen. The radio frequency also stimulates the body to produce new fibroblasts, the “houses” that create collagen, thus increasing the amount of collagen in the tissue. This wound healing response creates a smoother appearance to the skin, plumps up fine lines and wrinkles, and treats acne. Pulsed electromagnetic fields increase the vascularity of the skin and create new pathways for the blood to flow. This increase in blood will provide more oxygen to the skin and bring more nutrients to the tissue. A fresher, more youthful glow is common after treatments. 

POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF THE VENUS VERSA™ (MP) 2 TREATMENT
The Venus Versa™ (MP) 2 will aid in the improvement of the skin texture and appearance. When discussing the potential benefits the Venus Versa™ (MP) 2 with you, Gangnam Spa may have shown you a variety of before and after images. It is important to remind you that these images were used as an educational tool to allow you to visualize the general range skin texture improvements that may be achieved with your proposed treatment; the before and after images are not meant to be guarantees of actual or exact outcome.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VENUS VERSA™
Every cosmetic procedure involves a very small degree of risk and, although exceedingly uncommon, it is important that you
understand and accept the rare risks involved with the Venus Versa™ NanoFractional RF. An individual’s informed decision to undergo any cosmetic procedure is based upon a comparison of the risks against the potential benefits, alternatives and costs.

Although the vast majority of Venus Versa™ (MP) 2 patients never experience any of these complications, you should
discuss each of them with Gangnam Spa to ensure you fully understand the alternatives, risks, potential complications, and average outcomes of the Venus Versa™ (MP) 2 treatments.

• Blisters - in rare cases, a blister may occur as a result of the treatment. In this instance, Gangnam Spa will recommend for the treatment of the blister.
• Hyper- or Hypo- pigmentation - in very rare cases a patient may experience changes in their skin colour which may or may not
be permanent. In these cases, Gangnam Spa will recommend appropriate procedures which may address the changes in the appearance of the colour of the tissue.
• Swelling - edema (or swelling of the skin) is common, and will resolve in a few days. Edema may occur as early as immediately
post treatment and as late as a few days post treatment. It is advised to seek a consultation and follow up appointment with Gangnam Spa should you require medical attention or have concerns.

There are many variable conditions, in addition to risks and potential complications listed above, that may influence the long-term
result from the Venus Versa™ (MP) 2 . Even though risks and complications can occur infrequently, the risks cited in this booklet are particularly associated with the Venus Versa™ (MP) 2 . Other complications and risks can occur but are even less common. Should complications occur, additional procedures or treatments may be necessary. The practice of medicine and surgery is not an exact science. Although good results are expected, there is no guarantee or warranty, expressed or implied, as to the results that may be obtained. Infrequently, it may be necessary to perform additional treatment to improve results.

INFORMATION REGARDING PREGNANCY
Patients must not be pregnant, nor wish to become pregnant, for the duration of the treatment program. A reliable method of birth control is required, such as the birth control pill, diaphragm, condom, IUD, and/or abstinence. The effects on a pregnant patient or fetus undergoing this procedure have not been studied.
Please specify your method of birth control here      

HEALTH INSURANCE
Most health insurance companies exclude coverage for cosmetic procedures such as the Venus Versa™ (MP) 2. Health related complications that may arise from such treatment may not be covered by all insurance plans. Please carefully review your health insurance subscriber-information pamphlet, if you have a private insurance carrier.

FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Depending on whether the cost of treatment is covered by an insurance plan, you will be responsible for all necessary payments.
Additional costs may occur should complications develop from treatment. There are no refunds once a treatment has been
performed.

DISCLAIMER
Informed Consent Booklets are used to communicate information about the proposed treatment of a condition along with disclosure of risk and alternative treatment(s). The informed consent process attempts to define principles of risk disclosure that should generally meet the needs of most patients in most circumstances.

What Gangnam Spa has discussed with you and has been included in this booklet are the material risks both common and uncommon that Gangnam Spa feels a reasonable person would want to know, understand, and consider when making decisions to proceed with the proposed treatment.

However, Informed Consent Booklets should not be considered all-inclusive in defining other methods of care and risk encountered.Gangnam Spa may provide you with additional or different information based on all the facts in your
particular case and the state of medical knowledge.

Informed consent documents are not intended to define or serve as the standard of medical care. Standards of medical care are
determined on the basis of all of the facts involved in an individual case, and are subject to change as scientific knowledge and
technology advance, and as practice patterns evolve.

It is important that you read the above information contained on this and all preceding pages carefully and have all of your questions answered by Gangnam Spa before signing the consent on the last page
