I hereby consent to and authorize Beyond Beauty Medical Aesthetics to perform the following procedure:
Botox is used in the correction of mild to moderate facial lines, wrinkles, muscle tension and headaches related to muscular movement. 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 the procedure and its risks in advance so that you can decide whether to proceed with the procedure. This material serves as a supplement to the discussion you have with your doctor/healthcare provider.
Botox is a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium A. Botox can relax the muscles of the face and neck which cause wrinkles associated with facial expressions or facial pain. Whether for cosmetic or therapeutic treatment, Botox can cause your facial expression lines or wrinkles to be less noticeable or essentially disappear. The most frequently treated areas are: A) Glabella (frown lines located between the eyes) B) Crow’s Feet (lateral areas of the eyes) C) Forehead wrinkles D) Radial Lip Lines (smokers lines) E) Head, neck and jaw muscles Botox is diluted to a very controlled solution and when injected into the muscles with a very thin needle, it is almost painless. Patients may feel a slight burning sensation while the solution is being injected. The procedure takes about (15-20) minutes and the results can last up to (3) months. With repeated treatments, the results may tend to last longer.
Do not apply anything to the skin until the day after treatment: No cleanser, moisturizer, or makeup!
Do not massage, touch, rub, or manipulate the injection site. Avoid heavy exercise the day of your treatment
Ice packs may be used to the treated area during the first 12 hours. Ice for 15 minutes on every hour
Wait minimum 4 weeks before receiving any skin care or laser treatments.
If experiencing swelling, sleep with head elevated for 2-3 days to decrease swelling.
Avoid direct sunlight and do not forget using the sunscreen
