I understand the nature of my condition, the nature of the procedure, the alternative treatments available, and the benefits to be expected compared with alternative approaches.
I understand that optimal results are achieved only with a series of treatments and that I will not see optimal results after one treatment. The need to complete a treatment plan has been fully explained to me. Just as there are benefits to the procedure proposed, I understand that this procedure also involves risks.
I understand that serious complications are very rare but are possible.
Common side effects include temporary slight swelling and “pinkness” (similar to a mild sunburn). The temporary side effects generally last a few hours but may last 1-2 days. Bronze micro-spots usually appear after 1-2 days and will last 1-2 days until they flake off.
For treatments with very aggressive settings, some patients might experience mild exudate and flaking/peeling of skin in the aggressively treated area. Other potential risks include milia/acne or Herpes Simplex breakout, itching, pain, or minor infection. There is a rare possibility of burn, blistering, erosion, or a scar at the treatment site may develop.
I recognize there are no guaranteed results.
