I understand that multiple treatments are recommended, usually at least 3. I consent and authorize the staff at laser luxury to perform treatments on me. Light can be used effectively to destroy targets located in the skin with minimal damage to the surrounding tissues. Light is used to lighten, fade or remove photo damaged skin in a non-ablative manner, a procedure known as photo rejuvenation. Visible signs of photo damage include wrinkling, large pores, coarse skin texture and pigmented alterations. Phototherapy, despite its high levels of efficacy and safety is not free of side effects. Arrhythmia redness and swelling of the treated area can occur but usually subside within a few hours, but can last up to seven days or longer. Irritation itching and or mild burning sensation or pain similar to a sunburn may occur within 48 hours of treatment. Pigmentation changes such as hyperpigmentation and hypo pigmentation of the skin in the treated areas can occasionally occur. Mostly it is transient, lasting up to six months but in rare cases it can be permanent. Most cases of hypo or hyperpigmentation occur in people with darker skin or when the treated area has been exposed to sunlight before or after treatment. Occasionally these pigmented changes can occur despite appropriate protection from the sun. Scarring which can be hypertrophic or even keloid can occur. Other known complications of this procedure include blistering, reddening, pinpoint pitted scars, bruising, superficial crusting, burns, pain, and infections. These side effects are usually temporary, lasting for five to 10 days but can be permanent as well. The skin at or near the treatment site may become fragile. If this happens, makeup should be avoided in the area should not be rubbed, as this might tear the skin. A blue purple bruise may appear on the treated area, which might last for 5 to 15 days. As the bruises fade, there may be a rust-brown discoloration of the skin, which fades in one to three months or longer. Additionally, there is a known and expected loss of hair in the treated areas. In a very small percentage of people there's new hair growth in the surrounding areas being treated. Even though appropriate measures are taken to reduce side effects, they cannot be completely eliminated in every case. I understand that the treatment may involve risks of complication or injury from both known and unknown causes, and I freely assume these risks. With this in mind, I am choosing this non invasive treatment for vascular and or pigmented lesions and other indicated skin conditions. Eye damage can occur from the light and therefore protective eyewear must be worn during all phototherapy sessions. I have read and understand the pre and post treatment instructions. I agree to the follow these instructions carefully. I understand that compliance with recommended pre and post procedure guidelines are crucial for healing, prevention of scarring, and other side effects and complications such as hyperpigmentation, hyperpigmentation and other skin textural changes. I understand that this examination is not meant to replace the necessity for a complete dermatological examination.
