Patient Consent Form For Diamond Microdermabrasion Treatment

DIAMOND Microdermabrasion uses a diamond encrusted wand to remove superficial layers of the skin in the areas treated. The intensity of the procedure can be adjusted to your desired results and comfort level. Microdermabrasion is often used to treat acne, reduce the appearance of scars, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and other skin conditions. A series of treatments is recommended for maximal results.

After a treatment skin may feel tight and warm as if exposed to the sun or wind but this should resolve within 24 hours. Slight redness and swelling might appear with more intensive treatments and take several days to resolve.

Your fresh, newly exposed skin will be delicate. It is important that you use a mild basic cleanser and keep the skin well moisturized particularly around the delicate eye area. You should use a full spectrum sunblock daily. We recommend a physical sunblock containing zinc as it is less irritating to sensitive skin. Avoid the use of Retin-A, Renova, alpha or beta hydroxyl acid products and all forms of scrubs for at least 24 hours after a treatment. Avoid swimming and tanning beds for at least one week.

Anytime the skin barrier is broken, there is a small risk of bacterial or viral infection.

I acknowledge that no guarantee has been given regarding the condition of my skin or the percentage of improvement expected following treatment. I understand that no specific results are guaranteed.
