INFORMED CONSENT FOR
ELECTROLYSIS HAIR TREATMENT
Electrolysis is a medically approved method of permanent hair removal. Only actively growing hairs and follicles are affected and several treatments are necessary.
The treatments, expectations from the treatment, and post treatment care have been explained to me and my questions regarding the treatment have been answered to my satisfaction.
I understand that the treatment works on actively growing hairs and follicles and not on any that are dormant. For this reason, it requires several sessions to complete a course of treatment.I am aware of the following possible risks associated with this treatment including, but not limited to:
- Infection - Skin infections can occur any time the skin is broken.
- Discomfort- Some discomfort may be experienced during this treatment. Topical anesthesia may be used if necessary.
- Pigment changes (skin color)-During the healing process, the treated areas may become darker or lighter than the surrounding skin. This is usually temporary but, on rare occasions, may be permanent.
