Med spa consent form template

A med spa consent form records that the client understood what a treatment can and can't do, what could go wrong, and what to do if it does, before a needle or laser touches their skin. This template works for injectables, fillers, lasers, peels and microneedling, with blanks for the product and area. Read it below, then open it in SignMaster and send it before each new treatment.

Med Spa Treatment Consent Form

I, Client name (the "Client"), consent to the treatment described below at Med spa name (the "Clinic"), to be performed by Provider name and credentials, under the supervision of the Clinic's medical director, Medical director. Date: Consent date.

1. The treatment

  • Treatment: Treatment name
  • Area or areas treated: Treatment areas
  • Product or device: Product or device
  • Sessions usually needed: Expected sessions
  • Price: Treatment price Price basis

2. Health screening

The Client has completed the Clinic's medical history form and adds the following, writing "none" where nothing applies:

  • Medicines and supplements, including blood thinners, aspirin, fish oil and isotretinoin in the last six months: Medicines and supplements
  • Allergies, including to lidocaine or other numbing agents: Allergies
  • History of cold sores, keloid scars, autoimmune disease or poor wound healing: Relevant history
  • Earlier cosmetic treatments in this area, such as fillers, implants or threads, with dates: Earlier treatments
  • Sun exposure or tanning in the last two weeks: Recent sun exposure
  • I am pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

3. Results

The provider has explained what the treatment is meant to do. Results vary from person to person, often take more than one session, and most are temporary, so maintenance treatments may be needed. The Clinic cannot promise a particular result, and a result the Client doesn't like is not by itself grounds for a refund.

4. Risks

The Client understands that the treatment can cause side effects, including:

  • Common and short-lived: redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, itching or a headache.
  • Less common: infection, an allergic reaction, uneven results, lumps, changes in skin color, blisters or burns from light and energy devices, and drooping of an eyelid or brow after a wrinkle-relaxing injection.
  • Rare but serious: an injected filler can enter or press on a blood vessel and block blood flow, which can damage the skin and, in rare cases, cause vision loss or stroke.

The Client will call the Clinic right away at Clinic urgent phone for severe or worsening pain, skin that turns white, gray or dusky, blisters, fever, or any change in vision, and will call 911 for an emergency.

5. Alternatives

Other options, including different products, other treatments, skin care alone or no treatment, have been discussed. The Client chooses this treatment freely.

6. Before and after

The Client has received written preparation and aftercare instructions and will follow them. Not following them, for example by exercising, tanning or using active skin products too soon, can affect results and raise the risk of complications.

7. Photographs

The Clinic takes before and after photos for the Client's medical record. They are confidential. The Clinic may use them in its advertising, website or social media only if the Client ticks this box: I agree, and I understand I can withdraw this permission in writing for future use.

8. Payment

Payment is due at the time of treatment. Product that has been injected or applied can't be returned or refunded. Touch-up policy: Touch-up policy.

9. Consent

The Client has read this form, asked the questions they had, and had them answered. The Client may withdraw consent at any time before treatment begins. This consent covers the series of sessions described in section 1; a new treatment or product needs a new consent.

  7. Questions

Many med spa services are medical procedures, so the client's consent has to be informed: they need to hear the expected result, the common and serious risks, and the alternatives, and then agree. A signed form doesn't replace that conversation with the provider. It records that it happened, which treatment it covered, and that the client was screened for things like blood thinners, a cold sore history or a pregnancy.

Get a new consent for each new treatment type or product, not just once at the first visit. A client who signed for a neuromodulator last spring hasn't consented to filler today.

What the template covers

  • The treatment: name, areas, product or device, expected sessions and price, filled in by your team.
  • Screening: medicines including blood thinners and isotretinoin, numbing-agent allergies, cold sores and keloids, earlier fillers or threads, recent sun and pregnancy.
  • Results: they vary, often need several sessions and fade over time.
  • Risks in three tiers: common, less common, and the rare but serious ones, with the warning signs that mean call now.
  • Alternatives, aftercare and payment, including that injected product can't be refunded.
  • Photos: clinical photos stay in the record; marketing use only with a separate tick.
  • Scope of consent: the series described, and a new form for anything else.

Mistakes to avoid

  • One generic form for every service. A laser consent that doesn't mention burns, or a filler consent that skips blocked blood vessels, isn't informed. This template names both; add any treatment-specific risks your medical director lists in a Text box in the editor.
  • Using before and after photos in ads without permission. Clinical photos are part of the record; posting them needs the client's separate, revocable yes.
  • Signing after numbing cream is on. Consent given while a client is rushed or already prepped is easy to challenge. Send the form the day before.
  • No after-hours number. Vascular complications from filler are time-sensitive, so the form should say exactly who to call.

State rules decide who can treat

Who may inject, use lasers or supervise, and whether a medical exam must come first, is set by state law and licensing boards. SignMaster doesn't claim HIPAA compliance; if your clinic is a covered entity, involve your compliance lead before moving health history online. The FDA's dermal filler page lists the risks it wants patients told about.

How to send it with SignMaster

  1. 1

    Open the template

    Choose Use this template. The client signs first, then the treating provider.

  2. 2

    Make one version per treatment

    Duplicate it for each service you offer, and fill in the gray blanks: treatment name, areas, product, price basis and your urgent line. Use the editor's Markup tools to add any extra risks your medical director wants listed for that treatment.

  3. 3

    Send it the day before

    Enter the client's name and email. They answer the screening questions in the blue blanks, choose whether photos can be used in marketing, and sign on their phone.

  4. 4

    Review before you treat

    Read the screening answers before the appointment. If something needs a conversation, like recent isotretinoin, have it before any treatment starts.

  5. 5

    Provider countersigns

    The provider signs after the consultation. Both get the signed PDF with its certificate of completion, recording when each person signed.

At the clinic: sign on a tablet

For same-day bookings, open the envelope on a clinic iPad and choose Sign in person. The client reads and signs on the tablet, and in the iPhone and iPad app it takes your Face ID or passcode to leave signing mode, so they can't wander into other records.

Questions? Answers.

Do I need a separate consent form for each treatment?

Yes. Each treatment has its own results, risks and aftercare, so a consent for one doesn't cover another. A series of the same treatment can share one form, as section 9 says.

Who signs as the provider?

The person who explains the treatment and performs it. If your state requires the medical director's involvement in consent, add a third signer role for them in the template editor and place their signature field.

Can a client under 18 sign it?

This template is written for adults, and the final checkbox asks the client to confirm they're 18 or older. Treating minors usually needs a parent's consent and your medical director's policy.

Is an electronically signed consent form valid?

For most consents, yes. Federal and state e-signature laws give electronic signatures the same effect as ink. See can you e-sign a medical consent form.
