Use of RADIESSE® in the dorsum of the hand may result in significant swelling of the dorsum of the hand.
RADIESSE® and RADIESSE® (+) are dermal fillers that are used for smoothing moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (the creases that extend from the corner of your nose to the corner of your mouth).
Depending on patient symptoms, institute catheterization if PVR urine volume exceeds 200 mL and continue until PVR falls below 200 mL. Instruct patients to contact their physician if they experience difficulty in voiding as catheterization may be required.
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.
For some, it can take up to 30 days to see the full effects after getting Botox Cosmetic injections. Many injectors schedule follow-up appointments within the first few weeks to evaluate the results.
However, there appears to be little benefit obtainable from injecting more than 5 Units per site. Some tolerance may be found when BOTOX is used in treating blepharospasm if treatments are given any more frequently than every three months, and is rare to have the effect be permanent.
Reinjection typically occurs once the benefits of the previous treatment have worn off, usually not more frequently than every 3 months.
Patients experiencing adequate paralysis of the target muscle that require subsequent injections should receive a dose comparable to the initial dose.
Botox Cosmetic is used for aesthetic purposes to smooth wrinkles and improve the appearance of platysma bands.
The injection needle should be filled (primed) with approximately 1 mL of reconstituted BOTOX prior to the start of injections (depending on the botox needle length) to remove any air.
Xeomin and Botox both contain botulinum toxin type A, but each has distinctive characteristics that may benefit different patient populations. Xeomin's pure formulation without complexing proteins potentially offers advantages for long-term treatment and for patients concerned about developing resistance.
Must be administered by a licensed provider and reconstituted exactly as directed by the manufacturer.
Similar to onset of effects, how long results last can depend on factors such as how many units you received, the location, and individual differences.
BOTOX is indicated for the treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) in pediatric patients 5 years of age and older who have an inadequate response to or are intolerant of anticholinergic medication.
