Benefits and Risks
I have been informed that the potential benefits of PICO Laser Skin Treatment may include:
• Reduction of unwanted pigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone
• Improvement in skin texture, clarity, and overall brightness
• Softening of acne scars and other textural irregularities
• Stimulation of collagen and elastin for firmer, smoother-looking skin
• Enhanced skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime
I understand that results vary from person to person and depend on individual skin type, skin condition, lifestyle habits, and adherence to recommended treatment intervals and aftercare. While some improvement may be seen after one session, multiple treatments are typically required for optimal and longer-lasting results. This treatment is cosmetic and not intended to diagnose or cure medical skin conditions.
I understand that there are potential risks and side effects associated with PICO Laser Skin Treatment, including:
• Temporary redness, swelling, or mild sensitivity after treatment
• A warm or snapping sensation during the procedure
• Temporary dryness, roughness, or mild peeling of the skin
• Rare cases of irritation, blistering, or changes in skin pigmentation, particularly if aftercare instructions are not followed
Aftercare
I agree to follow all post-treatment instructions provided by the clinician. This includes avoiding direct sun exposure, heat, and strenuous activity for the recommended period, using broad-spectrum sunscreen as advised, avoiding harsh or active skincare products, and keeping the skin clean and well moisturized. I understand that failure to follow aftercare instructions may affect results or increase the risk of irritation or side effects.
