ACKNOWLEDGMENT, WAIVER, AND CONSENT TO RECEIVE LASER PROCEDURES. DO NOT SIGN THIS FORM WITHOUT READING AND UNDERSTANDING ITS CONTENTS. 

 

1. Laser Treatment Informed Consent

 

  • I authorize Bared Monkey MedSpa Inc to perform laser vein removal procedure on me.


  • I understand that the removal or lightening of dilated superficial veins is a procedure that involves using a laser. Some discomfort may be experienced during laser treatment. I understand that there is a possibility of rare side effects such as scarring or permanent discoloration. Other side effects such as swelling, blistering, crusting, or flaking of the treated area, may require one to three weeks to heal. Once any of these conditions have healed, the treated area may still be sensitive to the sun for an additional two to four weeks, or possibly longer in some patients. During the healing process, there is a slight possibility that the treated area can become either lighter (hypo-pigmentation) or darker (hyper-pigmentation) in color compared to the surrounding skin. This is usually a temporary condition; however, on a rare occasion, it can be permanent. It is IMPORTANT that I follow all post-treatment instructions carefully. *


  • I understand that the results from the treatment vary with each individual. The purpose of this treatment is to attempt to remove, fade, or significantly lighten the veins. This treatment is not a cure for vein disease, nor will it prevent further veins from developing. Multiple treatments may be necessary.

 

  • I understand that tanning over the course of treatments is not recommended and can cause a number of complications. Scheduled treatment may be postponed if the patient is tanned. Tanning and sun exposure should be avoided 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after each treatment. Sunblock with SPF 50 or higher should be used on treated area during the course of laser treatments. It is my responsibility to inform the treatment provider if the skin is darker than when treatment was first started as well as any medical or prescription changes during the course of treatments. Improper post-treatment care may increase the chances of any complications.

 

  • I understand that If I am pregnant/breastfeeding, I am NOT a good candidate for laser. 

 

  

 


2. Contraindications

 

You may not be the best candidate for laser veins removal if any of the following contraindications pertain to:


  • Pregnancy and nursing
  • Use of Accutane (must discontinue use of product 6 months before beginning treatment)
  • Use of photosensitive medications (i.e. Anti-biotic, Retinoids or other Acne medications, Antihistamines, Cancer chemotherapy drugs and other cancer drugs, Diabetic drugs, Statins, Malaria medications, Cardiac drugs, St. John Wort etc.) may cause an increased risk of side effects to the laser (must discontinue use of product 4 weeks before beginning treatment)
  • Epilepsy or those who have a history of seizures
  • Poorly controlled Diabetes
  • Current (active) skin cancer within one year or pre-malignant moles in the treatment area. A medical clearance letter is required.

  • History of melanoma, active or inactive anywhere on the body
  • Recent (within 1 months) surgery, laser resurfacing or deep chemical peels in the treatment area
  • Severe medical disorders such as poorly controlled heart conditions
  • Chemo or radiation therapy (letter of clearance from your physician is required)
  • Pacemaker, internal defibrillator, and any internal electrical devices
  • Any internal metal device, i.e. surgical screws, pins, plates, or implants, in the area to be treated (no treatment if any device is superficially in the body area to be treated)
  • Aids, HIV positive or use of immunosuppressive drugs (a letter of clearance from your physician is required)
  • Multiple sclerosis ( a letter of clearance from your physician is required with confirmation that the area to be treated is not numb)
  • Immune disorders such as Scleroderma, Lupus, Porphyria, Sarcoidosis, and others
  • Treatment over moles or lesion of any kind
  • Treatment over tattoos, port wine stains, under the eyebrows, or any orifice
  • Bleeding problems or use of blood thinners
  • History of disease stimulated by heat, such as recurrent Herpes Simplex in the treatment area. You may treat this area only following a prophylactic regime.

 

 

3. Risks and Complications

 

All medical and cosmetic procedures are associated with certain risks and may result in complications. Possible risks and complications associated with laser hair removal procedure include:

  • Temporary reddening, burning, swelling, bruising or discoloration of the skin over the treated area.
  • Blistering, scarring, activation of cold sores, infection or permanent discoloration, which may occur in rare cases. Please inform us if you have ever had a problem with cold sores.
  • Hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin) or hypopigmentation (lightening of the skin), these changes are often transient and improve with time, although permanent pigmentary changes may occur. 
  • Crusting or blistering of the area exposed to the laser, which is rare and which may take several days to heal.


 

 

6. Pre-Procedure Instructions

 

It is IMPORTANT that you follow all pre-treatment and post-treatment instructions carefully to minimize the chances of complications and achieve the optimum results from treatments. 

6 months before:

  • Avoid Accutane 

4 weeks before:

  • Avoid waxing, plucking, using depilatory (hair removal cream) or other hair removal practices.
  • Avoid photosensitive medications (i.e. Anti-biotic, Doxycycline, Tricyclic antidepressants, Quinidine, Amiodarone, St. John Wort etc.) 
  • Avoid other laser treatments/ Microdermabrasion/ Chemical Peels/ Botox/ Filler on the treatment site

2 weeks before:

  • Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, self tanner such as creams or spray.
  • Avoid skin irritants (i.e. Products contain tretinoin, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic/salicylic acids, astringents, etc.) 
  • Avoid Anticoagulants

24 hours before:

  • The area to be treated must be CLEAN SHAVED the day before your treatment. 
  • If you have a history of Herpes Simplex Virus or cold sores, you must premeditate one day prior to treatment to prevent further outbreaks.

Day of treatment:

  • Remove any lotions, body oil, perfume, make-up, deodorants and jewelry in the areas to be treated prior to treatment
  • Wear loose fitting clothing that will leave the treatment area exposed and easily accessible for treatment. Tight or rough clothing may cause you to feel uncomfortable if the skin becomes sensitive after treatment.
  • During your treatment you can expect slight discomfort, similar to a rubber-band snap on your skin. If you have sensitive skin, you may apply a topical numbing cream 30 minutes prior to treatment time in order for it to take effect.

 

 

Post-Procedure Instructions

 

Immediately after treatment, there should be erythema (redness) and edema (swelling) at the treatment site which may last several hours to several days. The treated area can feel like a sunburn for several hours after.

Please be advised that you may expect a certain degree of discomfort, redness, and/or irritation during and after treatment. If any discomfort or irritation persists, please notify the office.

  • It is helpful to elevate your legs for the first 48 hours. We also recommend wearing support hose for at least 72 hours after leg vein treatments.
  • After your treatment, it is common for the treated veins to remain visible for 3 to 6 weeks before dissipating. This is due to residual clotted blood in the vessel.
  • In some rare cases, the treated skin may blister. Do not scratch or open the blister—this could cause permanent scarring and/or infection. Keep the areas clean and apply an antibiotic ointment such as Polysporin. Treated correctly, the blister will heal without further complications.
  • A red scab may form under the skin. It may appear for a few weeks and then will be reabsorbed by the body. This is supposed to happen and is a sign of successful treatment.
  • You can expect treated areas to remain somewhat red and swollen for the first 24 to 48 hours. In some cases, this may last up to 1 week.
  • It is possible to have pain from the treatment of larger veins for several days post-treatment. Tylenol and/or arnica are recommended for any discomfort.
  • Do NOT engage in vigorous aerobic activity such as running, hiking, or aerobic exercise for approximately 72 hours post-treatment.
  • It is advised to remain out of the sun for a minimum of 2 week. It is recommended that you use a 50 SPF sunblock for any sun exposure.
  • The skin of the treated areas may tend to itch. This is a sign of healing. Keep areas hydrated with moisturizer and apply hydrocortisone cream to itchy areas 3-4 times daily until itchiness subsides.
  • Bruising is another common side effect of laser treatment. Bruising is temporary and will dissipate within a matter of days or weeks depending on your individual healing process. Arnica is recommended if you have a tendency to bruise. Arnica helps reduce bruising and eases the soreness of bruising.

Previous Laser Veins Removal Experience:

Have you received any Laser Veins Removal treatment before?*
No
Yes

If "YES", please specify how many sessions conducted in the past and when was the last time?
Patch Test
The patch test is a mini sample for you to gauge what your treatment will be like and how it will feel. A range of settings will be used in the patch test, tailored to your individual skin and hair type, until a good clinical endpoint is achieved. You will be able to feel a slight pinpricking sensation when the desired setting is achieved.The patch test is done two (2) weeks before your first full treatment so that any reactions (i.e. hyper or hypo-pigmentation, blistering etc.) have time to appear and your treatment plan can be adjusted if necessary, to ensure effective results with minimal side effects. A patch test is offered however it does not ensure a client will not have an adverse reaction to subsequent treatments. If waived, I release the technician from liability if I develop an adverse reaction to the laser hair removal treatment. Choose one or the other, not both:*
I waive (skip) the patch test
I consent to (go for) the patch test and I will schedule my first treatment 2 weeks later.
