The safety and effectiveness for use in the lips has not been established. There have been published reports of nodules associated with the use of these products injected into the lips.
Tell your health care provider if you are taking blood thinners or medicines that can interfere with the clotting of blood, such as aspirin or warfarin. These medicines might make it more likely that you will experience bruising or bleeding at the injection site.
It is not known if RADIESSE® or RADIESSE® (+) is safe or effective in the lips, or in the area around the eyes.
Botox and Botox Cosmetic are purified forms of botulinum toxin that when injected in tiny, controlled doses are very safe and effective at relaxing excessive muscle contraction, even though ingestion of food contaminated with C. botulinum causes botulism - an often fatal, paralytic-type illness.
There is a theoretical risk for transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), but if that risk actually exists, the risk of transmission would also be considered extremely remote. Pelo cases of transmission of viral diseases, CJD or vCJD have ever been identified for licensed albumin or albumin contained in other licensed products.
Botox Cosmetic is used for aesthetic purposes for wrinkles and Botox is used as a therapeutic treatment for different medical conditions, including migraine headache prevention.
Desired Outcome: Do you want a very subtle softening of lines, or do you prefer minimal movement in the treated area (a "frozen" look, though this is less common now)? Achieving complete stillness requires more units than simply relaxing the muscle activity.
Injection without surgical exposure or electromyographic guidance should not be attempted. Physicians should be familiar with electromyographic technique.
Physicians administering BOTOX must understand the relevant neuromuscular and structural anatomy of the area involved and any alterations to the anatomy due to prior surgical procedures and disease, especially when injecting near the lungs.
Botox is not approved for the prevention of of episodic migraine (14 headache days or fewer per month), and also should not be used to treat a common tension headache.
Effects may occur hours to weeks after administration. Tell your patient to call emergency services if they experience any problems swallowing, speaking, or breathing soon after botulinum toxin administration or other symptoms indicating toxin spread, such as muscle weakness, vision changes, eyelid drooping, or loss of bladder control. Retrobulbar hemorrhages sufficient to compromise retinal circulation have occurred following the administration of Botox for strabismus. Decompress the orbit if necessary.
The incidence and duration of urinary retention is described below for adult patients with overactive bladder and detrusor overactivity associated with a neurologic condition who received BOTOX or placebo injections. Overactive Bladder In double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in patients with OAB, the proportion of subjects who initiated clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) for urinary retention following treatment with BOTOX or placebo is shown in Table 10.
Tell your health care provider if you have any diseases, injuries or disabilities of the hand, if you have a history forming large, raised scars or if you have had any other skin treatments such as skin peels.
Reconstituted BOTOX bioestimulador de colágeno (200 Units/30 mL) is injected into the detrusor muscle via a flexible or rigid cystoscope, avoiding the trigone. The bladder should be instilled with enough saline to achieve adequate visualization for the injections, but over-distension should be avoided.
