If you have any questions about these instructions, please discuss them with us prior to treatment. To obtain maximum benefit from your laser treatments, it is crucial that you understand and adhere to these instructions.

Please follow all guidelines set forth in the laser consent form: Discuss your medical history, medications, allergies, skin typing and any tendency for scarring or poor healing with your laser treatment provider. Pay particular attention to the limitations and cautions sections.
