The purpose of this Fractional CO2 Laser consent form is to ensure that a patient is well-informed about the Fractional CO2 Laser procedure, its advantages, and the possible risks linked to the treatment. Fractional CO2 Laser works by creating microscopic wounds in the skin, which stimulate the body's natural healing process and promote collagen production. It is used for treating various skin conditions, including acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture.
As with all medical procedures, Fractional CO2 Laser treatments carry potential risks and side effects. Common side effects may include redness, swelling, itching, and a sensation similar to a sunburn. In rare instances, more severe complications can arise, such as infection, prolonged redness, or changes in skin pigmentation. It is crucial to recognise that there are alternative skin rejuvenation treatments, such as microneedling, chemical peels, or non-ablative laser treatments, and patients are encouraged to explore these options before opting for Fractional CO2 Laser treatments.
By signing the Fractional CO2 Laser consent form, the patient confirms that they have been provided with information regarding the Fractional CO2 Laser treatment procedure, its potential benefits, risks, and side effects, as well as alternative treatments. The patient acknowledges that treatment results may vary and no guarantees have been made concerning the outcome.
