KEY FACTORS TO CONSIDER
Before your treatment, please read the following information carefully and complete the consultation and consent form below.
Your responses help your 4Elements practitioner assess whether your selected treatment is suitable for you and identify any precautions, modifications or medical clearance that may be required.
Please provide complete and accurate information about your health, medications, allergies and skin history. If anything changes before a future treatment, please let your practitioner know.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR TREATMENT
Electrolysis Hair Removal
Electrolysis uses a fine sterile probe inserted into the natural opening of the hair follicle. Electrical energy is then applied to damage the cells responsible for hair growth.
Diathermy / Thermolysis
Diathermy uses controlled high-frequency electrical energy and heat. For hair removal, this heat is generated within the follicle. Diathermy may also be used to treat selected superficial skin concerns, with your practitioner identifying the treatment area and intended outcome before treatment.
Results vary between individuals. The number and frequency of treatments required can depend on factors including the concern being treated, treatment area, hair type and growth cycle, hormonal factors, skin type, healing response and adherence to your recommended treatment schedule. No specific outcome, number of sessions or permanent result can be guaranteed.
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS & RISKS
Common or temporary effects may include:
Redness, warmth and swelling; tenderness, stinging, itching or sensitivity; small raised or pimple-like bumps; temporary dryness or flaking; pinpoint bleeding, crusting or scabbing; follicular irritation or inflammation; and bruising in sensitive areas.
Less common or potentially longer-lasting effects may include:
Prolonged redness or inflammation; infection or delayed healing; blistering, burns or excessive irritation; hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation; delayed inflammatory or allergic reactions; scarring, including keloid or hypertrophic scarring; incomplete results, regrowth or the need for further treatment.
Treatment can be uncomfortable and pain tolerance varies. Please tell your practitioner immediately if the sensation becomes excessive or you feel unwell.
AFTER YOUR TREATMENT
Following the correct aftercare is important to support healing and minimise unwanted reactions.
Follow all written and verbal instructions provided by your practitioner. Avoid touching, rubbing, scratching or picking at the treated area or any crusting or scabbing. You may be advised to keep the area clean and avoid wetting it for approximately 24 hours.
Avoid unnecessary sun and UV exposure and use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ or higher as advised. You may also need to temporarily avoid heat, heavy exercise, swimming, fragranced products, makeup and active skincare.
Contact 4Elements Clinic promptly if you experience an unexpected, severe or worsening reaction. Seek urgent medical attention for symptoms such as difficulty breathing, widespread hives, facial or throat swelling, severe pain or other signs of a serious reaction.
