INFORMED CONSENT FOR LASER REMOVAL

Due to my aesthetic (hypertrichosis) or pathological (hirsutism) problem, I am being offered laser (diode) hair removal treatment. I understand that the results obtained with this treatment may vary from person to person; furthermore, I have been informed that multiple sessions are necessary to progressively achieve good results (which, however, are not always permanent, but permanent over time). All personnel in the treatment room (including myself) will wear protective eyewear.

Photographs may be taken before and during treatment cycles so that the therapy's progress can be observed. These photographs may be used for scientific purposes, with due guarantees of anonymity. During treatment, a slight burning and/or stinging sensation is felt, directly proportional to the chosen power. The burning and/or stinging sensation subsides rapidly, and the erythema (redness) that remains after the treatment disappears shortly thereafter.

Some hair falls out in the treated area during the procedure and some in the hours and days following. I declare that I do not suffer from any autoimmune diseases (lupus, dermatomyositis, photodermatitis), that I do not take photosensitizing medications or drugs (tetracyclines, quinolones, cannabis, etc.), that I do not take anticoagulants, and that I am not pregnant (although no harm to the fetus is known).

I have been informed that the following side effects may occur after treatment: erythema of varying degrees; vesicles and blisters; hyperchromic (appearance of dark spots) or hypochromic (appearance of light spots) sequelae, generally temporary, more rarely permanent.

I have been informed that I will need to use full sunscreen during the treatment period and avoid sun exposure for 48 hours afterward. After laser treatments, I must avoid the use of harsh chemicals (cleansers such as scrubs, exfoliating creams, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, pyruvic acid, trichloroacetic acid, etc.).

After each treatment, I must use a soothing cream, which must be continued for at least one week after the session. Any complications can be treated, and to this end, I agree to undergo the appropriate treatment. I declare that I have read and understood the above, and I agree to undergo the treatment knowingly and voluntarily.
