Informed consent for Botox/Xeomin/Dysport treatment for Lüz Lounge This consent form is designed to provide the information necessary when considering whether or not to undergo botulinum toxin treatment for facial and neck wrinkles with Botox® and Xeomin®. Botox®, Dysport ® and Xeomin ® (Botulinum Toxin) are the only FDA approved treatments we use for the temporary reduction of moderate to severe forehead lines and wrinkles, frown lines and/or crow’s feet. Injection of botulinum toxin causes weakness of targeted muscles, which can last approximately 3–4 months. Injection of small amounts of Botulinum Toxin relaxes the treated muscles and can reduce facial wrinkles such as frown lines. The solution is injected with a small needle into the targeted muscles. Effects are typically seen in a few days and can take 1–2 weeks to fully develop. Botox is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the temporary treatment of moderate to severe dynamic frown lines in adults aged 18–65 years and is used off-label for all other cosmetic treatment areas. The risks, side effects, and complications in treatment with Botox on facial and neck areas include, but are not limited to the following: - Localized burning or stinging pain during injection
- Bruising
- Redness
- Tenderness
- Swelling
- Infection
- Numbness or dysesthesia
- Headache
- Anxiety
- Vasovagal episode with loss of consciousness
- Facial asymmetry, alteration, or poor aesthetic results
- Inadequate reduction of wrinkles or lack of intended effect
- Blepharoptosis (droopy eyelid)
- Eyebrow ptosis (droopy eyebrow)
- Photophobia (light sensitivity)
- Impaired eyelid closure and blink reflex
- Ectropian (lower eyelid exposure)
- Lagophthalmos (incomplete eyelid closure)
- Xerophthalmia (dry eyes)
- Epiphora (tearing)
- Diplopia (double vision) or vision changes
- Eye trauma
- Worsening eye bags
- Lip ptosis with resultant smile asymmetry
- Oral incompetence with resultant drooling and/or impaired speaking, eating, or drinking
- Cheek flaccidity
- Dysarthria (difficulty articulating)
- Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), necessitating nasogastric tube placement in severe cases.
- Hoarseness
- Neck weakness
- Weakening of muscles adjacent to the intended treatment area
- Autoantibodies against botulinum toxin may be present or develop after treatments rendering treatments ineffective (1–2% of patients treated for cosmetic indication per Allergan).
- Extremely rare, immediate hypersensitivity reaction with signs of urticaria, edema and a remote possibility of anaphylaxis.
- Case reports of side effects due to distant spread from the site of injection have been reported with large doses of botulinum toxin, including generalized muscle weakness, ptosis, dysphagia, dysarthria, urinary incontinence, respiratory difficulties, and death due to respiratory compromise.
Advisory: It is recommended that you not take aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication, or any blood anti-coagulants before this procedure. These medications may increase the risk of bruising. If you are able to stop these medications, you should do so one (1) week before the procedure. Patients with certain medical conditions may not have this procedure done. These include those with any type of facial paralysis such as Bell’s palsy, Guillain-Barre Syndrome and Myasthenia Gravis. Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not use botulinum toxin. Post-marketing safety data suggest that botulinum toxin effects may, in some cases, be observed beyond the site of local injection. The symptoms may include generalized muscle weakness, double vision, blurred vision, eyelid droop, difficulty swallowing, difficulty speaking, urinary incontinence, and breathing difficulties. These symptoms have been reported hours to weeks after injection. Swallowing and breathing difficulties can be life threatening and there have been reports of death related to spread of toxin effects. The risk of symptoms is probably greatest in children treated for spasticity but symptoms can also occur in adults, particularly in those patients who have underlying conditions that would predispose them to these symptoms. No definite serious adverse event reports of distant spread of toxin effect associated with dermatologic use of cosmetic botulinum toxin at the labeled dose have been reported. By signing this consent: - You agree and understand that the use of aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or blood thinning medication within the last 7 days, may increase the risk of post-injection bruising.
- You understand the procedure and its side effects. The medical staff have been provided with a thorough and truthful medical history. Additional injections may be necessary, for which we will charge a retouch fee, if optimal effect is not reached in 10 to 14 days. botulinum toxin has only a temporary effect that lasts approximately 3-5 months and you will need to repeat injections 3-4 times a year to continue the effect.
- You hereby assume all risks, hazards and costs of care or expense associated with or which may arise from such treatment, hereby releasing the personnel and consultants and any sponsoring health care facility or institution and its affiliates and all of their agents and employees from any liability from said treatment except where such risks and hazards are the proximate result of gross negligence. This constitutes the full disclosure and supersedes any previous verbal or written disclosures, advertising or marketing materials prepared by us or other.
