CANDELA GLACE™ HYDRO-DERMABRASION
INFORMED CONSENT & RELEASE OF LIABILITY
1. TREATMENT DESCRIPTION
The Candela Glace™ Hydro-Dermabrasion treatment offered at Pearl Peau is a non-invasive cosmetic skin resurfacing procedure that combines gentle exfoliation, cleansing, suction, hydration, and infusion of topical serums to improve the appearance of skin texture, tone, and hydration. The treatment utilizes a specialized device and solutions designed to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and temporarily enhance skin radiance.
I understand that this is a cosmetic procedure, not a medical treatment, and that results vary based on individual skin condition, skin type, lifestyle, and adherence to pre- and post-treatment care instructions.
2. EXPECTED BENEFITS (NO GUARANTEE)
Potential benefits may include:
- Improved skin smoothness and texture
- Enhanced hydration and luminosity
- Temporary reduction in superficial congestion, dullness, and the appearance of pores or fine lines
I understand that results are not guaranteed, may be temporary, and that multiple treatments may be recommended to achieve or maintain desired outcomes.
3. POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS AND RISKS
I understand that while the Candela Glace™ treatment is generally well tolerated, I may experience side effects including, but not limited to:
- Temporary redness or flushing
- Mild swelling or skin sensitivity
- Tightness, itching, irritation, dryness
- Skin peeling or flaking
- Temporary breakouts or purging as pores are cleansed
These effects typically resolve within a few hours to several days; however, individual responses vary, and rare or unforeseen reactions may occur.
I agree that if I experience pain, discomfort, or unusual sensations during the treatment, I will immediately inform the practitioner so that treatment settings, products, or techniques may be adjusted or the procedure discontinued.
4. CONTRAINDICATIONS & CLIENT DISCLOSURE

I understand that this treatment is not a substitute for medical examination, diagnosis, or treatment. I acknowledge that the estheticians and practitioners at Pearl Peau are not qualified to diagnose, prescribe, or treat any physical or mental illness, and that nothing stated during consultation or treatment should be construed as medical advice.
