LASER/LIGHT ENERGY WAIVER
I consent to and authorize MUSE SKIN LAB NYC to perform laser treatments on me and will hold them and their staff harmless from any liability that may result. Laser, despite its high levels of efficacy and safety, is not free of side effects. I understand my first treatment session will be at a more conservative treatment level for the safety of my skin. For subsequent treatments the technician may increase the treatment energy for increased efficacy, but can also increase the potential of unwanted side effects. The technician will obtain a treatment level which is ideal for my skin, but will error on the side of safety first: Erythema (redness), edema (swelling) and a mild burning sensation much like a sunburn can occur but usually subsides within a few hours. Pigmentary changes such as hyper pigmentation and hypo pigmentation of the skin in the treatment areas can occasionally occur. Most are transient, lasting up to six months, but in rare cases can be permanent. Other known but rare complications of this procedure include scaring, keloids, blisters, reddening, bruising, superficial crusting, burns, pain, and infections. understand that the treatment may involve risks of complications or injuries from both known and unknown causes, and I freely assume these risks. There may be other treatment options, such as other types of lasers and light sources. With this in mind, I am choosing this noninvasive treatment for hair removal. Eye damage can occur from the light and therefore protective eyewear must be worn during all laser sessions.
I received, read and understand the Pre and Post-Treatment Instructions. I was informed to avoid sun exposure for two weeks before and after the treatment. I agree to follow these instructions carefully. Additionally, I was informed of the treatment contraindications. I hereby declare that I do not suffer from any skin ailment, skin problems or any other sickness or medication usage that prevents me from undergoing the laser treatments. No guarantee, warranty, or assurance has been made to me as to the results that may be obtained. I am aware that maintenance treatments for removing new or undamaged hair might be needed from time to time. Achieving the expected results requires repeated treatment within a period which varies in accordance to the selected treatment. The expected results in hair removal may require a time period of 1.5 years or more, in cases of hormonal disorder. Clinical results will vary. I give permission for my photographs to be used.
