Microneedling Consent Form Description of the Procedure: The Eclipse Micropen skin needling system allows for controlled induction of the skin’s self-repair mechanism by creating micro “injuries” in the skin which triggers new collagen synthesis. The result is smoother, firmer and younger looking skin. Skin needling procedures are performed in a safe and precise manner with the use of the sterile Micropen needle head. The procedure is normally completed within 30-60 minutes depending on the required treatment and anatomical site. Side Effects: After the procedure, the skin will be red and flushed in appearance in a similar way to moderate sunburn. You may also experience skin tightness and mild sensitivity to touch on the area being treated. The skin’s redness will diminish greatly after a few hours following the treatment and within the next 24 hours the skin will be generally calmed. After 3 days the skin will return to a normal or near normal appearance. Contraindications: Keloid scars; history of eczema, psoriasis and other chronic conditions; history of actinic (solar) keratosis; history of Herpes Simplex infections; history of diabetes; presence of raised moles, warts on targeted area. Absolute contraindications include; scleroderma, collagen vascular diseases or cardiac abnormalities; Blood clotting problems; active bacterial or fungal infection; immuno-suppression; scars less than 6 months old. Not recommended for women who are pregnant or nursing. Patient Consent: I understand that results will vary between individuals.
