Informed Consent: UV Indoor Tanning Precautions & Release 1. Failure to use eye protection may result in permanent damage to the eyes.

By my signature affixed below, I affirm that I have carefully read, understood and acknowledged the statements listed herein relating to indoor tanning. I have been given adequate instructions for the proper use of indoor tanning and I understand the risks involved, and use it at my own risk. I hereby agree to release the owners, operators and manufacturers from any damages that I might incur due to the use of this facility. I Agree Informed Consent: DHA Sunless Application DHA is listed in the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) as a color additive for use in imparting color to the human body. However, its use in cosmetics - including sunless "tanning" application - is restricted to external application. According to the CFR, "externally applied" cosmetics are those “applied only to external parts of the body and not to the lips or any body surface covered by mucous membrane" (21 CFR 70.3v). In addition, no color additive may be used in cosmetics intended for use in the area of the eye unless the color additive is permitted specifically for such use (21 CFR 70.5a). The CFR defines "area of the eye" as follows: "The area enclosed within the circumference of the supra-orbital ridge, including the eyebrow, the skin below the eyebrow, the eyelids and the eyelashes, and conjunctival sac of the eye, the eyeball, and the soft areolar tissue that lies within the perimeter of the infra-orbital ridge." (21 CFR 70.3s) Because the FDA has not specifically tested or reviewed DHA exposure for other than external use, it recommends that users take measures to protect exposure to eyes, lips, mucous membranes, and prevent inhalation. In accordance with these guidelines, we recommend the following: - Like most cosmetics, avoid exposure to the eyes, as well as the immediate area surrounding the eyes.
- Avoid exposure to the lips and other parts of the body covered by mucous membrane; this can be accomplished by using a barrier product such as a lip balm.
- Follow the manufacturer's breathing instructions to avoid inhaling or ingesting the sunless product. Nose plugs are also recommended.
By my signature affixed below, I affirm that I have carefully read, understood and acknowledged the statements listed above relating to DHA “sunless” application: I state that I am not aware of any medical condition or other reason that would prohibit me from sunless application. I have been given adequate instructions for the proper use of the sunless application, understand the risks involved, and use it at my own risk. I hereby agree to release the owners, operators and manufacturers from any damages that I might incur due to the use of this facility. I Agree Informed Consent: Automated Spa Service Red Light Therapy: (Lumiere/pbRenew/Red Fusion/Beauty Angel/Rejuvenate/Red Light Therapy): follow manufacturer guidelines and notifications which are available in each location to review. It is recommended that red light sessions be limited to one session per 24 hours. 1. pbRenew© Facial Line: as with all topically applied skin care products, use caution when applying products in the eye area. If contact with the eyes occurs, flush with cool water. 2. Not intended for children, pregnant women or individuals with light sensitive conditions: The safety of this technology for use by clients with light-sensitive conditions has not been confirmed. An alternative treatment is recommended for these clients. 3. Eyewear during red light facial or body session: The frequency of light wave emitted by the red light device is within the visible light spectrum and poses no threat of retinal burn or any other eye injury; however due to the brightness and the red light possibly causing sensitivity, it is always recommended that approved eyewear is worn during each session. Some clients with extreme sensitivity to bright light and choose not to use eyewear may experience slight discomfort including a temporary mild headache. Clients that wear contact lenses should be aware that heat and ventilation wind may dry out lenses and it is recommended to remove them prior to session. 4. Conditions requiring physician’s authorization: clients with any of the following conditions are required by Planet Beach to provide documented medical approval prior to your first heat therapy session: Heart/respiratory problems, high blood pressure, kidney disorders, nervous conditions (i.e. epilepsy) open lesions, skin pustules or cysts or shellfish allergies. 5. Photosensitivity: certain medications and substances can cause an adverse reaction in the skin when exposed to light. May be caused by 6. certain perfumes or plants such as St John's Wort in contact with the skin; metabolic disorders such as Porphyria and other light induced rashes (not recommended for clients with this condition); autoimmune disease, such as Lupus Erythematosus; and albinism. A list of these substances is posted in this facility for your review. I Agree Heat & Infrared Therapy (Including Hydration Station/Infrared Sauna/ Red Fusion): Always follow manufacturers warnings and directions for use, which can be provided, by the spa staff upon request. It is recommended Heat Therapy sessions be limited to one session per 24-hour period. 1. Water intake: clients are advised to drink 16oz of water both immediately before and after each heat therapy session to prevent dehydration and enhance skin results. 2. Not intended for children, pregnant or nursing women or individuals with heat sensitive conditions: the safety of this technology for use by children, pregnant women and clients with heat sensitive conditions has not been confirmed. An alternative treatment is recommended. 3. It is not recommended to use Infrared Services if you have any of the following conditions: Active cancer, epilepsy, broken bones, slipped disc, infectious skin conditions, low blood pressure, open skin abrasions, pregnant or breastfeeding, inflamed areas, varicose veins. You should consult your physician if you have a pacemaker or are taking certain medications including: diuretics, barbiturates, beta blockers, anticholinergic and some over the counter drugs such as antihistamines. Conditions requiring physician’s authorization: Clients with any of the following conditions are required by Planet Beach to provide documented medical approval prior to your first heat therapy session: Heart/Respiratory problems, high blood pressure, kidney disorders, nervous conditions (i.e. epilepsy) open lesions, have a history of dizziness, fainting spells, narcolepsy, and skin pustules or cysts. I Agree Massage Therapy (Including Hydro Massage/Sit Down Massage): Follow manufacture warnings and instructions provided by staff, upon request. It is recommended that these sessions be limited to one session per 24 hour period. 1. Not intended for children, or pregnant women: the safety of this technology for use by children or pregnant women has not been confirmed and an alternative treatment is recommended. 2. Conditions requiring physicians authorization: clients with any of the following conditions are required by Planet Beach® to provide documented medical approval prior to using this service: cardiac disease, swelling or inflammation, phlebitis, thrombosis, broken bones or fractures, varicose veins, hematoma, HIV, cancer, severe/acute back pain or fever. 3. Anyone suffering from one or more of the following conditions upon which heat or massage have an adverse effect should receive physician approval prior to use. Teeth Whitening: Follow manufacturer warnings and instructions provided by staff, upon request. It is recommended 3 sessions be performed within a 24 hour period, and ideally consecutively, to achieve the best results. I understand that results will vary and that my teeth will never be whiter than what my genes naturally allow. The results of this treatment are not intended to be permanent, and repeat touch up treatments may be necessary to maintain the color desired. This treatment will only allow white enamel, not fillings or crowns. This treatment cannot be used if you are pregnant, have gum disease, open cavities or an allergy to peroxide or aloe vera. 1. If the gel comes in contact with the gum tissue or lips, it may cause inflammation or whitening of these areas which usually will reverse within 30 minutes. It may also cause a tingling sensation. 2. Some people can experience tooth sensitivity during the first 24 hours after treatment. 3. Some individuals may develop white spots due to calcium deposits that occur in the teeth naturally. These are not caused by the gel. The product will make this more visible, but the appearance is temporary and should diminish over time. 4. After the treatment, it is natural for the color to regress over time. This is usually gradual but can be accelerated by exposing teeth to various staining agents, such as coffee, tea, tobacco, red wine, dark sodas, etc. It is recommended that you should not eat or drink anything other than water for 60 minutes after the treatment, as teeth are particularly vulnerable to staining during this timespan. When using a touch up pen, it is also recommended to refrain from staining agents until usage is stopped. For both treatments, it is recommended to stay away from staining agents for 24 hours for maximum results. 5. Individuals who are pregnant or lactating, individuals that have had braces removed within the last 6 months, individuals under the age of 14, and individuals with silver fillings in or near the front upper or lower 8 teeth should not use this service. Piercings or other metal objects within the oral cavity should be removed before treatment or they may be damaged or turn black. If a sharp pain in a particular tooth during treatment is experienced, the treatment should be stopped as this could be a sign of an open cavity, and a dentist should be consulted. I Agree
