Previous Hair Removal Methods:

Shaving	Tweezing	Waxing	Depilatories
Electrolysis	Laser

The purpose of this procedure is to diminish or remove unwanted hair. The procedure requires more than one treatment and may produce permanent hair removal. The total number of treatments will vary between individuals. On occasion there are patients that do not respond to treatments. The treated hair should exfoliate or push out in approximately 2-3 weeks.
Alternative methods are waxing, shaving, electrolysis, and chemical epilation.
The following problems may occur with the hair removal system:

1. There is a risk of scarring.*

I understand

2. Short term effects may include reddening, mild burning, temporary bruising or blistering. Hyper-pigmentation (browning) and Hypopigmentation (lightening) have also been noted after treatment. These conditions usually resolve within 3-6 months, but permanent color pigmentation (lightening) have also been noted after treatment. These conditions usually resolve within 3-6 months, but permanent color change is a rare risk. Avoiding sun exposure before and after the treatment reduces the risk of color change.*

I understand

3. Infection: Although infection following treatment is unusual, bacterial, fungal and viral infections can occur. Herpes simplex virus infections around the mouth can occur following a treatment. This applies to both individuals with a past history of herpes simplex virus infections and individuals with no known history of herpes simplex virus infections in the mouth area. Should any type of skin infection occur, additional treatments or medical antibiotics may be necessary.*

I understand

4. Bleeding: Pinpoint bleeding is rare but can occur following treatment procedures. Should bleeding occur, additional treatment may be necessary.*

I understand

5. Allergic Reactions: In rare cases, local allergies to tape, preservatives used in cosmetics or topical preparations have been reported. Systemic reactions (which are more serious) may result from prescription medicines.*

I understand

6. I understand that exposure of my eyes to light could harm my vision. I must keep the eye protection goggles on at all times.*

I understand

7. Compliance with the aftercare guidelines is crucial for healing, prevention of scarring, and hyper-pigmentation.*

I understand

Occasionally, unforeseen mechanical problems may occur and your appointment will need to be rescheduled. We will make every effort to notify you prior to your arrival to the office. Please be understanding if we cause you any inconvenience.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT:
My questions regarding the procedure have been answered satisfactorily. I nderstand the procedure and accept the risks. I hereby release (individual) and (facility) and (doctor) from all liabilities associated with the above indicated procedure.

Post Treatment Instructions:
The purpose of this procedure is to diminish or remove unwanted hair. The procedure requires more than one treatment and may produce permanent hair removal. The total number of treatments will vary between individuals. On occasion there are patients that do not respond to treatments. The treated hair should exfoliate or push out approximately 2-3 weeks. Treatment duration varies from 15-120 minutes depending on the size of the area and the amount of hair.

1. Avoid the sun 2-4 weeks before and after treatment.
2. Hair must be shaved in the treatment area 12-24 hours prior to any hair removal procedure.
3. It is best that you refrain from tweezing, threading, and/or waxing 4 weeks prior to treatment. Shaving is the only method that can be done.
4. You MUST avoid bleaching, plucking or waxing hair for 6 weeks prior to
5. Avoid deep tanning, including tanning beds and tanning creams 2 weeks before and a 1 week after treatment. If you must go in the sun use a sunscreen of SPF 25 or higher.
6. If throughout the course of your treatment, you need to take any photosensitizing medication and/or antibiotics, we will not be able to treat you within 10 days of your last dose.
7. We ask that you arrive to your treatment with no lotions, sprays or creams in the treatment area.
8. A minimum of 6 weeks in between treatments is required to achieve maximum results, depending on the area.

Post Treatment Instructions:
1. Immediately after the treatments, there should be redness and bumps at the treatment area, which may last up to 2 hours or longer. It is normal for the treated area to feel like sunburn for a few hours. You should use a cold compress if needed. If any crusting, apply antibiotic cream. Some physicians recommend aloe vera gel or some other after sunburn treatment such as Desitin. Darker pigmented people may have more discomfort than lighter skin people and may require the aloe vera gel or an antibiotic ointment longer.*

I understand

2. Makeup may be used after the treatment, unless there is epidermal blistering. It is recommended to use new makeup to reduce the possibility of infection. Just make sure that you have moisturizer on under your makeup. In fact, moisturizer will help the dead hair exfoliate from the follicle, so use moisturizer frequently and freely on the treated area. Any moisturizer without alpha-hydroxy acids will work.*

I understand

3. Avoid sun exposure to reduce the chance of dark or light spots for 2 months. Use sunscreen SPF 25 or higher at all times throughout the treatment and for 1-2 months following.*

I understand

4. Avoid picking or scratching the treated skin. DO NOT USE any other hair removal methods or products on the treated area during the course of your laser treatments, as it will prevent you from achieving your best results.*

I understand

5. You may shower after the laser treatments, and use soap, deodorant, etc. The treated area may be washed gently with a mild soap. Skin should be patted dry and NOT rubbed. You may apply deodorant after 24 hours.*

I understand

6. Anywhere from 5-30 days after the treatment, shedding of the hair may occur and this may appear as new hair growth. This is not new hair growth, but dead hair pushing its way out of the follicle. You can help the hair exfoliate by washing or wiping with a washcloth.*

I understand

7. Hair re-growth occurs at different rates on different areas of the body. New hair growth will not occur for at least three weeks after treatment.*

I understand

8. Call your physician’s office with any questions or concerns you may have after the treatment.*

I understand

Please note: Stubbles, representing dead hair being shed from the hair follicle, will appear within 10-20 days from the treatment date. This is normal and will fall out quickly.
