You are scheduled for a series of non-invasive treatments with the EMFACE®. The EMFACE device used with EMFACE forehead, and EMFACE cheek single use applicators is intended to provide heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for selected medical conditions such as temporary relief of pain, muscle spasms, and increase in local circulation.
Your treatment provider will discuss your specific treatment needs. Four sessions are recommended, with 2–14
days between each session. The typical therapy treatment is generally about 20 minutes. Completing a full
treatment series is necessary to maximize treatment efficacy. You may need additional treatments depending
on the severity of your condition.
The area of interest should be free from hair. I acknowledge I have been advised to shave the area prior to the procedure or the area will be shaved at the procedure visit.
On the day of the treatment, you are advised to wear comfortable clothing so the treatment area can be easily accessed. Also, the treated area will be wiped with a cleanser before treatment to remove any moisture, perfume, moisturizers, or oils. You will be asked to remove all metallic accessories and electronic devices.
The treatment does not require anesthesia. During the application, you will feel muscle contractions and a
heating sensation in the treated area. It is important to note that you should feel comfortable heat, but never feel
an unpleasant burning or pain sensation during the treatment. Press the Therapy Discomfort Button any time
should you feel any discomfort or pain. The procedure doesn’t require any recovery time. Typically, you can get
back to your daily routine right after the treatment.
I am aware NOT TO wear any metallic accessories (such as jewelry, watch or clothes containing metallic threads or metallic accessories) during the treatment. I also acknowledge that I do not have any metallic or electronic implants near the treatment area (such as pacemakers, defibrillators, etc.).
Treatment considerations
I am aware that pregnancy and nursing is contraindicated, and pregnant women cannot undergo the treatment.
I am aware that as is the case with every heat-based therapy, in rare cases damage to natural skin texture (crust, blister, and burn) can occur.
I understand that there are certain side effects associated with EMFACE treatments. The side effects may include but are not limited to erythema, mild swelling, heating sensation, dry skin, temporary damage to natural skin texture (crust, blister, and burn), muscular pain, temporary muscle spasms
I understand that the treatment may involve risks of complications or injury from both known and unknown causes, and I freely assume these risks
I understand the results may vary from person to person and that an exact result cannot be predicted. Completing a full treatment series is recommended to maximize treatment efficacy. It is very unlikely, but it is possible that you will not feel any recognizable result after the procedure. I acknowledge the results may not meet my expectations.
I certify that I have read this entire document and that I agree with all provisions. I certify that I have had the opportunity to ask questions and these questions have been answered in full to my satisfaction. I fully understand the treatment conditions, the procedure, and possible side effects.
I have read the above information, and I request and give my consent to be treated with the EMFACE by the physician(s) in this practice and his/her designated staff.
