I hereby authorize Simply Skin Las Vegas, its employees/agents/clinicians to perform Dermaplaning on me. Treatment sites include face, forehead, sideburns, chin, neck.
Dermaplaning is a physical/mechanical exfoliation that removes dead skin cells and vellus hair from the surface of the face. This form of exfoliation smooths the skin and allows for the active ingredients in skincare products and treatments to penetrate deeper which increases their efficacy and anti-aging benefits. Dermaplaning also can reduce the appearance of fine lines, evens skin tone, and assists in reducing minor breakouts associated with congested pores.I understand that the treatment is purely elective, and I hereby consent to be a patient receiving treatment. Alternative methods of hair removal are waxing, shaving, electrolysis, plucking/tweezing, threading/stringing, and chemical epilation. I understand that certain complications are rare, but possible.
I understand this treatment involves the use of a specialized Dermaplaning blade to remove dead skin calls and vellus hair, leaving a smooth surface. As with the use of any sharp instrument there is possibility of injury. While every precaution is taken, I understand the risks and consent to receive treatment today.

Other potential risks include itching, blistering, burns, infection, scabbing, and failure to achieve desired result.
The procedure may result in the following side effects or adverse experiences, and may carry some risks:
- DISCOMFORT – Some discomfort may be experienced during treatment
- REDNESS/SWELLING/BRUISING – Short-Term/temporary redness (erythema), swelling (edema), and/or mild sunburn-like effects of the treated area is common and may occur. There also may be slight bruising. I acknowledge that facial telangiectasia (small blood vessels) is sometimes more apparent immediately after the treatment, when the skin is thin, and will diminish after my skin has recovered from the treatment.
- SKIN COLOR CHANGES – There is a possibility that the treated area may become either darker (hyper-pigmentation) or lighter (hypo-pigmentation). These conditions usually resolve within 3-6 months, but permanent color change is a rare risk. Compliance with the aftercare guidelines and avoiding sun exposure before and after the treatment reduces the risk of color change.
- CUTS/SCRATCHES – Treatment can result in cuts, bleeding, scratches, and petechiae, of the treated areas. If any of these occur, please contact our office immediately. INFECTION/BREAKOUTS – Infection is a possibility whenever the skin surface is disrupted, although proper wound care should prevent this. If signs of infection such as pain, heat, or surrounding redness develop, please call our office immediately. If you have had a history of perioral or genital herpes simplex virus, antiviral therapy is recommended in order to prevent a breakout. Follow the directions for your particular antiviral medication.

To minimize the chances of scarring, it is IMPORTANT that you follow all post-treatment instructions provided by your healthcare staff.

- ALLERGIC REACTIONS – In rare cases, local allergies have been reported.
