MICROCHANNELING FACE THERAPY CONSENT

While microchanneling treatments are safe and effective for most people, there are some people who will not be good candidates for these types of treatments. Here is a general contraindication list that should be considered by anyone who is thinking of undergoing microchanneling:

Pregnancy – if you are pregnant or nursing you are advised to not receive athis treatmetnt. To date there have been no studies conducted to see what effects these treatments may have on the unborn child, but as a general rule, pregnant women should stay away from any type of cosmetic/elective procedures.
Diabetes - diabetes patients should not be treated due to problems with healing.
Accutane or any related acne medication - Accutane or any related drug should be discontinued for a minimum of 6 months prior to undergoing microchanneling.
Active Herpes Simplex- treatment is possible once the outbreak is healed, however it may be advisable to take prescription strength antiviral medication for two weeks leading up to your appointment and after to keep this condition in remission during the treatment series.
Dry skin - if your skin is overly dry, you will need to start moisturizing and ensure the condition is under control prior to undergoing any treatment.
Any active inflammatory skin condition e.g. eczema, psoriasis, infection, rash or any type of dermatitis at the treatment site (because it may aggravate the condition).

I understand the following side effects or complications may occur:

1. Discomfort at the treatment site with transient redness and swelling which may last up to two hours or longer.  The redness may last up to 2-3 days.  The treated area may feel like a sunburn for a few hours after treatment.
2. Increased or decreased pigmentation is possible and can take 3 to 6 months or more to resolve.
3. Loss of pigmented lesions such as freckles may give the appearance of loss of pigment.
4. Small areas of scabbing may occur 2-3 days following the treatment.
5. Infection is possible if proper aftercare guidelines are not followed.
6. Nothing may be applied to my skin for three hours immediately following this treatment. This includes skin protectants such as Aquaphor and/or SPF. I will bring a hat and/or umbrella to protect my skin should my appointment be booked during sunlight.
7. The aftercare protocol is strict to provide the best possible results for my skin and I agree to adhere to them.
8. Additonal product purchases may be necessary to acheive my results and I understand these additional products are not included with the purchase of my treatment.
9. I will reach out to my esthetician immediately with any questions or concerns about my skin.
10. By signing below, I acknowledge that I have read and understand any potential side effects and the proper aftercare protocols.

I hereby release ProCell Therapies as well as my treatment provider FAIRY GLOW MOTHER, LLC dba GLOWDEGA from any liability associated with my micro-needling treatments.
