Skincare Intake and Consent for Treatment Welcome to Luz! This general information and consent form provides the necessary information to assist patients in making informed decisions about their skincare journey. This includes, but not limited to, facials, extractions, exfoliation, chemical peels and the use of topical skin care products. Our facials and peels improve overall skin function and enhance appearance based on the principals of controlled wound. Controlled wounding of the skin helps to stimulate cell renewal and regenerate a healthier epidermis and dermis.
To ensure best results, it's important you share with us any prescribed medications you are taking, any recent laser or peels you may have done in the last couple of weeks and/or any injectables you've had including Botox or filler. I've not had any prescription creams, done peels or recent injectables in the last 2 weeks. General risks, side effects, and complications with Skin Care Treatments include, but are not limited to: - Prolonged erythema (redness) or edema (swelling) from peels or exfoliation
- Allergic reactions to any products
- Blistering from any topical products
- Visible flaking/peeling
- Hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation
- Abrasion (superficial cut) or temporary lines and streaking may occur with micro dermabrasion
- Acne outbreak or the activation of recurrent viral infections such as herpes simplex may occur
- Infection or scarring
The risks of complications are higher for patients with darker skin types due to melanin production, the skin's way of protecting itself. Please initial that you understand the risks of doing any kinds of skincare peels or deep exfoliation.
Most people heal without any problems. However, here are some problems that you may encounter if you have any active viruses in your body: If you are prone to getting fever blisters (herpes simplex) then you could develop a herpes infection. You will notice that the skin becomes thickened and has a different feel. In fact you should recognize the familiar symptoms of herpes. If so then apply a suitable anti herpetic preparation prior to your facial. You might notice small white dots appearing on the skin after your facial. These might be simple little retention cysts (Milia) or they could be slightly infected areas. Purging and inflammation can sometimes occur after a facial. If that happens, carefully but firmly wipe them away and apply an antibiotic lotion. It is a good idea to follow up with us and consult your doctor about this, if it persists. It's also important to sleep on clean sheets after a facial, to avoid bacteria build up or infection. I understand that I need to sleep on clean sterile sheets or a clean towel the first 48 hours after treatment to avoid risk of any infection. I understand that it is not possible to predict any of the above side effects or complications, and results are not guaranteed. I have fully read this consent form and understand the information provided to me regarding the proposed procedures, and I have had all questions and concerns answered to my satisfaction.
