I understand that results vary and that a series of treatments and consistent home care may be recommended.

How to use this template

Pair it with a separate consent per peel series

A general facial consent doesn't cover a peel. Get a peel-specific signature at the first peel and ideally at the start of a new series.

Walk through disclosures out loud

Medications, recent procedures, isotretinoin use, and pregnancy or nursing status are the items most often missed on intake. Confirm them verbally before solution touches skin.

Document any deviation

If you swap or skip a step because of sensitivity, jot it on the consent or in your booking notes so future appointments have context.

Match the consent to your scope of practice

Different states limit peel depth and ingredients estheticians can use. The consent should reflect the products and depth you're actually licensed to perform.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a separate consent form for chemical peels?

Yes. Peels carry more risk than a maintenance facial — medication interactions, photosensitivity, and a longer recovery window all justify a peel-specific consent rather than a general facial one.

How often should peel clients re-sign?

Many providers ask peel clients to re-sign at the start of each peel series or annually for ongoing maintenance peels. Always re-sign when adding stronger ingredients or a deeper resurfacing service.

Can I perform peels on clients using isotretinoin (Accutane)?

Most professional guidelines recommend waiting at least 6 months after isotretinoin use before peels or any active resurfacing. Make this an explicit consent disclosure so the conversation happens before the appointment.

What about pregnant or nursing clients?

Many peel ingredients are contraindicated during pregnancy and nursing. Document the disclosure on consent and postpone the peel if there's any uncertainty.

Is this a medical or legal document?

No. This template is for general business use. It is not medical, legal, or compliance advice. Adjust to your products, state board scope, and have a licensed professional review if you're unsure.
