The purpose of laser hair removal is to diminish or remove unwanted hair. This procedure requires more than one treatment session. Most clients will need between 6 – 12 sessions average. The total number of treatment sessions may vary among individuals. On rare occasion, there may be a client that does not respond to treatment. I authorize LETÍCIA PILLONETTO BEAUTY to perform Laser Hair Removal on my body. I understand that Laser Hair Removal is an FDA approved treatment method for removing unwanted hair. I have been advised of the possible adverse reactions which are as follows:

• Short term effects may include reddening, swelling, bumps, mild burning, temporary bruising or blistering. Hyperpigmentation (browning of skin) and Hypopigmentation (lightening of the skin), although rare, may occur. These conditions usually resolve within 3 – 6 months, but the permanent color change is a rare risk, less than 1%. Avoiding sun exposure before and after treatment reduces the risk of color change.
• Infection following treatment is quite unusual, but bacterial, fungal and viral infections can occur. Herpes simplex virus infections around the mouth can be stimulated by laser treatment. This applies to both individuals with a history of herpes simplex virus infections and individuals with no known history of herpes simplex virus infections in the mouth area. Should any type of skin infection occur, additional skin treatments or medical antibiotics may be necessary.
• Allergic reactions, although very rare, may occur. Local skin allergies to topical preparations, tape, or preservatives used in cosmetics can occur.
• However slight, there is a risk of scarring.
• Pinpoint bleeding, although very rare, may occur following treatment procedures. Should bleeding occur, additional skin treatment may be necessary.
• Eye protection must be worn at all times because exposure to laser light could harm one’s vision. Occasionally, unforeseen mechanical problems may occur and your appointment will need to be rescheduled. We will make every effort to notify you before your arrival at the studio. Please be understanding if we cause you any inconvenience. By signing below, I acknowledge that I have read the adverse reactions above and I feel that I have been adequately informed of the risks of Laser Hair Removal treatments. Before each treatment, I will inform the laser technician if I have taken any new medications since my last treatment or if I have tanned the areas to be treated either by sunlight or artificially. I understand that tanning and some medications can make my skin photosensitive. I also understand that either of the aforementioned conditions could cause the laser to damage my skin. I also agree to comply with the recommended aftercare instructions which are crucial for healing and prevention of scarring and hyperpigmentation.
