We are committed to serving you with compassion, care, skill, and respect. As one of our clients, you have choices, rights, and responsibilities.

I hereby authorize Simply Skin Las Vegas, its employees/agents/clinicians to perform UltraClear treatments on me.  Treatment sites include face, forehead, mono-brow, sideburns, lip, chin, neck, arms, hands, fingers, thighs, legs, feet, toes, chest, abdomen, shoulders, back, buttocks.

The purpose of this procedure is to diminish or remove sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, acne and/or acne scars an overall quality of the skin. I understand that I may require several treatments to obtain a significant, long-term effective. The total number of treatments will vary between individuals. I understand that genetics, hormones, medication, diet, allergies, and color of lesions may interfere with the treatment, and there are patients that may not respond at all, and/or patients – whose acne may come back.

I understand that the treatment is purely elective, and I hereby consent to be a patient receiving treatment. Alternative methods exist. I understand that certain complications are rare, but possible.

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.  Treated areas will initially be bright red. After the first few days, you may put opaque makeup on over the redness. The redness should fade over the following weeks. Areas most likely to swell are around the eyes and neck.
• SKIN COLOR CHANGES – I understand that immediately post treatment, my skin will become darker or a bronzing effect, and will eventually crust. The crust will shed on its own. I UNDERSTAND THAT I SHOULD NOT PICK IN ORDER TO AVOID SCARRING. 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. 
• WOUNDS – Treatment can result in burning, blistering, or pinpoint bleeding of the treated areas. If any of these occur, please contact our office immediately.
• Persistent Pixel Stamping Marks (PPSM) - A novel complication of fractional laser resurfacing where the pixel marks can remain for weeks to months and sometimes be permanent
• 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.
• SCARRING/HYPERPIGMENTATION/HYPOPIGMENTATION – Scarring is a rare occurrence, but it is a possibility if the skin surface is disrupted. To minimize the chances of scarring, it is IMPORTANT that you follow all post-treatment instructions provided by your healthcare staff. Compliance with the aftercare guidelines and avoiding sun exposure before and after the treatment reduces the risk of scarring. 
• ALLERGIC REACTIONS – In rare cases, local allergies have been reported.
• Ectropion – In rare instances, a downward pull of the eyelids can result after periorbital laser resurfacing.
• EYE EXPOSURE – Protective eyewear (shields) will be provided. Exposure of the laser to the eyes could harm vision. It is important to keep these shields on at all times during the treatment in order to protect your eyes from accidental laser exposure.
