    I also understand that the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. I further understand that COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread by person-to-person contact, and as a result, federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing. I understand that Pua Manu Medspa has put in place reasonable safety measures to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.

    I understand that COVID-19 may cause additional risks, some of which may not be known at this time.

    I understand that I am consenting to an elective treatment/procedure that is not urgent or emergent. I understand that it may put me at increased risk for becoming infected with COVID-19, due to potential community exposure.

    PATIENT’S ACCEPTANCE OF RISKS

    By signing this consent form I accept the risks described above and give my permission to proceed with the treatment/procedure.

    I have read this consent or someone has read it to me and want to proceed.

  • Clear
  • The following points of information have been specifically discussed and I have had the opportunity to ask any questions concerning this information:

    The HIFU system delivers a low amount of focused ultrasound energy to the skin. The heat from the ultrasound stimulates new collagen to form.

    I understand that there can be discomfort during the treatment when the ultrasound energy is delivered. Some red bumps may occur on those with sensitive skin, which will subside in 3-5 days. It is advised to apply aloe vera gel to the area.

    Immediately following HIFU treatment, the skin may appear red for a few hours. It is not uncommon to experience slight swelling for a few days following the procedure or tingling/tenderness to the touch for days to weeks following the procedure, but these are mild and temporary in nature.

    As with any medical procedure, there are possible risks associated with the treatment. There is a remote risk of a burn that may or may not lead to scarring (either of which will respond to medical care), or temporary nerve inflammation, which will resolve in a matter of days to weeks. Temporary local muscle weakness may result after treatment due to inflammation of a motor nerve. Temporary numbness may result after treatment due to inflammation of a sensory nerve.

    It has been explained to me that the results vary from patient to patient, and, occasionally, the collagen building on the inside that helps counter the effects of gravity does not have a visible effect on the outside. I understand that results will unfold over the course of 3 to 6 months and that some patients may benefit from more than one treatment. I also understand that a noninvasive HIFU treatment is not intended to produce the same results as an invasive surgical procedure.

    Contraindications: Pregnancy, pace maker, defibrillator or any heart monitor

  • Discounted or special priced treatments must be prepaid in full by first treatment appointment. Incomplete and/or cancelled treatments will be charged at regular/full price, NO refunds.

I also understand that we may consult at any time after the initial consultation to update the treatment as necessary.
