Hyalonic Acid Injection

Purpose and Background

As my patient, you have requested my administration of a stabilized hyaluronic acid used in the correction of moderate to serve facial wrinkles and fold. All medical and cosmetic procedures carry risks and may cause complications. The purpose of this document is to make you aware of the nature of procedure and its risks in advance so that you can decide whether or not to go forward with the procedure

Procedure

1, This product is administered via a syringe, or injection, into the areas of the face sought to be filled with the hyaluronic acid to eliminate or reduce the wrinkled and fold.

2, An anesthesia, numbing medicine used to reduce the discomfort of the injection may or may not be used.

3, The treatment site(s) was washed first with an antiseptic (cleansing) solution.

4, Hyaluronic acid is a clear transparent gel that is injected under your skin into the tissue of your face using a thin gauge (30G) needle

5, The depth of the injection(s) will depend on the depth of the wrinkle(s) and its location(s).

6, Multiple injection might be made depending on the site, depth of the wrinkle, and technique used.

7, Following each injection, the injector should gently massage the correction site to conform to the contour of the surrounding tissue.

8, If the treated area is swollen directly after the injection, Ice may be applied applied on the site for a short period.

9, After the first treatment additional treatment of Hyaluronic acid may be necessary to achieve the desired level of correction.

10, Period touch-up injections help substation the desired level of correction.

Risk and Discomfort

1, Although a very thin needle is used, common injection-related reactions could occur. These could include: some initial swelling, pain, itching, discoloration, brushing or tenderness at the injection site. You could experience increased brushing or bleeding at the injection site if you are using substances that reduce blood clotting such as Aspirin or other non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs such as AdvilⓇ。

2, These reactions generally lessen or disappear within a few days but may last for a week of longer.

3, As with injections, this procedure carries the risk of injection. The syringe is sterile and standard precautions associated with the injectable material have been taken.

4, Some visible lumps may occur temporally following the injection.

5, Some patients may experience additional swelling or tenderness at the injection site and in rare occasions, pustules might form. These reactions might last for as long as approximately 2 weeks, and in appropriate cusses may need to be treated with oral corticosteroids or other therapy (Hyaluronidase).

6, Hyaluronic acid should not be used in patients who have experienced this hypersensitivity, those with serve allergies, and should not be used in areas with active inflammation or infections. (e.g., cysts, pimples, rashes or hives).

7, Hyaluronic acid should not be used in areas other than the tissue of face,

8, If you are considering laser treatment, chemical skin peeling or any other procedure based on skin response after Hyaluronic acid treatment, or you have recently had such treatments and the skin has not healed completely, there is a possible risk of an inflammatory reaction at the implant site.

9, Most patients are pleased with the results of hyaluronic acid use. However, like any cosmetic procedure, there is no guarantee that you will be completely satisfied. There is no guarantee that wrinkles and folds will disappear completely. Or that you will not require additional treatments to achieve the results you seek. While the effects of Hyaluronic acid use can last longer than comparable treatments, the procedure is still temporary. Additional treatments will be required periodically, generally within 6 months to one year, involving additional injections for the effect to continue.

10, After treatment, you should minimize exposure of the treat area to excessive sun or UV lamp exposure and extreme cold weather until any initial swelling or redness has gone away.

Benefits

Alternatives

This is strictly a voluntary cosmetic procedure. No treatment is necessary or required. Other alternative treatments which vary in sensitivity, effect and duration include animal-derived collagen filler products, dermal fillers derived from the patient's own fat tissues, synthetic plastic permanent implants, or bacterial toxins that can paralyze muscles that cause some wrinkles.
