Bocouture is a prescription medicine that is used for the temporary improvement of the appearance of moderate to severe lines on the face, such as frown lines between the eyebrows, and for the treatment of abnormal head position and neck pain associated with cervical dystonia.
A typical Bocouture consent form would likely include the following information:
- Explanation of the procedure: The form should explain that Bocouture is a neurotoxin that will be injected into the muscles of the face or neck to temporarily improve the appearance of lines or to treat cervical dystonia.
- Risks and side effects: The form should outline the potential risks and side effects of Bocouture injections, such as pain or discomfort at the injection site, bruising, redness, itching, and infection.
- Benefits and expected results: The form should explain the potential benefits of the procedure, including the expected results and duration of the effects.
- Alternatives: The form should discuss alternative treatments and procedures that may be available and the pros and cons of each.
- Pre-procedure instructions: The form should outline any pre-procedure instructions, such as avoiding blood thinners or certain medications before the injection.
- Post-procedure instructions: The form should also provide detailed post-procedure instructions, such as avoiding strenuous exercise or rubbing the injection site.
- Signature: Finally, the consent form should include space for the patient to sign, acknowledging that they understand the risks and benefits of the procedure and that they consent to the Bocouture injections.
