The use, indications, contraindications and potential adverse effects of treatment with the Restylane I range of products have been explained to me. I have answered all questions regarding my medical history truthfully. I have discussed the risks and benefits of Restylane with my healthcare professional (HCP) and have received satisfactory answers.
I clearly understand that:
- Restylane I is a hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin.
- Restylane I is injected via a syringe into the dermis (skin) or sub-dermis to temporarily correct lines, wrinkle, folds and contours of the face to temporarily increase the volume of the face lips or hands.
- Restylne I provides correction for an average of 6 months. The effects varies depending on the type of skin, area of injection, amount injected and injection technique.
- The longevity of the effect of the Restylane in the lips may be reduced because of the high vascularization of the lips.
- A touch-up procedure a few weeks after the first injection may help increase the persistence and optimize results. A local anaesthetic may be administered as necessary by the HCP
I clearly understand that after injection of Restylane, there are some potential side effects which include and may not be limited to the following:
- Inflammatory reactions such as redness, edema and/ or erythema, which may be accompanied by stinging, pain or pressure. These reactions may last up to a week.
- Swelling or nodules may develop at the injection site have been reported.
- Very rare cased of discolouration the injection site have been reported.
- Rare cases, (0.01%), of necrosis in the treated area, abscess, granuloma, blindness or hypersensitivity have been reported after injection of hyaluronic acid, if the injection occludes a blood vessel. Hyaluronidase will be used to dissolve the hyaluronic acid should this event occur.
- Persistence of inflammatory reactions for more than one week or the development of any other side effects must be reported to the HCP as soon as possible.
- Increase bruising or bleeding at injection site if using substance, such as ASA, fish oils, NSAIDS (Advil, Ibuprofen, Motrin), alcohol or other blood thinning products.
I have informed my HCP of my medical history and I clearly understand that I cannot be treated
