I understand my Esthetician will take every precaution to minimize or eliminate negative reactions as much as possible, however, I understand that any time I receive a facial or skin treatment there is always a small chance that reactions could occur, including but not limited to redness, rash, swelling, tenderness, etc. due to unknown allergies or sensitivities.
I am willing to follow recommendations made by my Esthetician for a home care regimen that can minimize or eliminate possible negative reactions. In the event that I may have additional questions or concerns regarding my treatment or suggested home products/ post-treatment care, I will consult the Esthetician immediately.
I understand that my esthetician will perform a thorough skin analysis prior to my facial. If the treatment I have booked is not appropriate for my skin, I understand I will be informed during this session and an alternative treatment may be recommended instead.
MICRODEMRABRASION
I understand that microdermabrasion is a skin resurfacing procedure designed to exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, promoting skin rejuvenation and a smoother appearance.
I understand that this treatment may cause temporary redness, sensitivity, or mild discomfort during and after the session, which typically subsides within a few hours to a day.
I understand that microdermabrasion may not be suitable for certain skin conditions (such as active acne, rosacea, or broken capillaries) and that it's important to disclose any skin conditions or medical history to my provider before treatment.
I understand that it is essential to follow post-treatment care instructions, including using sunscreen, moisturizing, and avoiding harsh products or excessive sun exposure, to protect my skin and achieve the best results.
I understand that this treatment may sometimes leave stripes or red lines that resemble fine scratches. This is temporary and is related to skin sensitivity.
I agree to protect my skin with sunscreen due to increased photosensitivity from exfoliation.
LED LIGHT THERAPY
I understand there are certain contraindications that would preclude me from receiving LED treatments, including epilepsy, medications causing light sensitivity, open wounds, pregnancy, and thyroid conditions.
I understand there are other precautions that should be considered before receiving LED therapy treatments and may require a doctor’s release and/or I assume any risk involved.
I understand that reactions are rare, but may include nausea, dizziness, weakness, and possible skin reactions including redness and/or other irritations.
I understand that some clients report slight tingling sensations and flashing of the optic nerve during the procedure.

I have cited all conditions and circumstances regarding my health history, medications being taken, and any past reactions to products or medications.
I understand that additional conditions could occur or be discovered during the procedure which could affect my ability to tolerate the procedure.
CHEMICAL PEELS
I understand that there are risks and complications associated with having a chemical or enzyme peel and that, very rarely, permanent damage occurs. I understand that my skin therapist will take every precaution to minimize or eliminate negative reactions. I acknowledge that I have been informed of the possible negative reactions (ie: intense erythema, blisters, sores, welts, scabs, or other reactions), and the expected sequence of the healing process (ie: dryness, irritation, redness, and/or peeling of the skin).
I understand that this chemical procedure is expected to make the skin feel uncomfortable while being applied but agree to inform the skin therapist immediately if I have questions, concerns, or am overly uncomfortable during treatment or after I return home. In the event that I may have additional questions or concerns regarding my treatment or the suggested home product/post-treatment care, I will consult my skin therapist immediately. I understand that if I choose to consult a physician, that I do so at my own expense.
I understand that I should not have a chemical treatment if I intend to continue to have excessive sun exposure. It has been explained to me that the treated area will be more sensitive to the sun as a result of the treatment and will require regular use of sunscreen.
I understand and agree to follow the home-care instructions and recommendations provided by my skin therapist. I understand that I will be responsible for following home regimens that can minimize or eliminate possible negative reactions, including recognizing the importance of adhering to a sunscreen, avoiding the sun/tanning booths, avoiding extreme weather conditions, avoiding excessive exercise, and using a moisturizer specifically recommended to me by my skin therapist. I realize and accept that the consequences of failure to adhere to these instructions may yield undesirable results.
I understand that results are not guaranteed and for maximum results, more than one application may be required. The rate of improvement of my skin depends on my age, skin type and condition, degree of sun/environmental damage, pigmentation levels, or acne conditions.
I understand that this agreement will remain in effect for this procedure and all future procedures conducted by my skin therapist.

I understand that microcurrent treatments involve conducting mild electrical currents through the body, and that this brings some inherent risk.
I understand that reactions are rare, but may include nausea, dizziness, weakness, and possible skin reactions including redness and/or other irritations.
I understand that some clients report slight tingling sensations, flashing of the optic nerve, and/or a metallic taste in the mouth during the procedure.

More sensitive skin may experience some redness after the first couple of sessions. This normally goes away after 2 to 3 hours.
