Electrolysis consultation & consent form
An electrolysis consultation form should record the client's skin type, current medications, and contraindications — most importantly any pacemaker or metal implant, which is a contraindication for electrolysis — alongside the area to be treated and the client's consent. Documenting the contraindication check is essential for safety and liability.
What an electrolysis consultation should record
- Skin type and relevant skin conditions.
- Medications that affect skin sensitivity or healing.
- Contraindications — pacemaker or metal implant (do not proceed), pregnancy, certain conditions.
- Area treated and treatment plan.
- Consent, signature and date.
Frequently asked questions
- Is a pacemaker a contraindication for electrolysis?
- Yes — electrolysis passes a small electrical current, so a pacemaker or metal implant is a contraindication. The consultation form should flag it and the treatment should not proceed without appropriate medical clearance.
