TEOXANE INFORMATION
TEOSYAL® PRODUCTS AND INDICATIONS
The TEOSYAL® range includes cross-linked and non cross-linked gels (cross-linking is a process which can transform a liquid gel to a viscoelastic gel), as well as gels with or without anaesthetic (lidocaine). An exhaustive product list is available on the website: www.teoxane.com.
Products in the Teosyal® range are viscoelastic gels of cross-linked hyaluronic acid (except for TEOSYAL® PureSense Redensity [ I ]), sterile, of non-animal origin, to be injected in the dermis. They are designed for filling wrinkles and lines, correcting the facial oval and/or increasing lip volume. Cross-linked products in the TEOSYAL® range have a 6 to 18 months duration. This mean duration depends on several factors: the patient's skin type, the severity of the wrinkle to be corrected, the injection zone and the volume injected. TEOSYAL® PureSense Redensity [ I ] non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid gels are designed to improve skin hydration and radiance.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE LIDOCAINE: Products in the TEOSYAL® PureSense range contain lidocaine.
Ask Sknject for guidance in case of
• Known hypersensitivity, allergy to lidocaine and/or local anaesthetics of the amide type;
• Athletes: Lidocaine can induce a positive reaction to anti-doping tests;

Inform the clinic about your situation and we therefore recommend that you do not use products from the TEOSYAL® PureSense range.
• Report any chronic skin diseases (herpes, acne, rosacea).
• Report any complications after surgery.
• Report aesthetic treatments performed previously. As interactions with other filling implants have not been studied, it is recommended not to inject TEOSYAL® products in areas where other dermal fillers are present.
• Report any adverse reactions to medical@teoxane.com

• Redness, bruising, haematomas, bumps, oedema, erythema, temporary loss of sensation, itching, pain and dyschromia at the injection site.
• swelling or nodules that may appear in a delayed manner at the injection site. In that case, consult your doctor.
Despite being rare, serious side effects may occur: abscess, granuloma, immediate hypersensitivity which may even lead to anaphylactic shock, vascular complications which may extend to necrosis of the injected area, visual disturbances or even blindness.
PRE & POST INJECTION RECOMMENDATIONS
Pre-injection recommendations:
• Inform the clinic of any of the following:
- all your recent or current pathologies, as well as your chronic illnesses;
- all your chronic or current allergies;
- all your chronic or ongoing treatments.
• Avoid getting an injection if you have had a dental procedure within the previous 15 days.
• Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, anticoagulants, and vitamin E during the week prior to the injection. Ask your doctor for advice prior to stopping any treatment.
• Avoid drinking alcohol or exposing yourself to strong sunlight the day before and on the day of the injection.
• Remove your make-up thoroughly prior to entering the injection room.
• Wash your hand prior to entering the injection room.
Post-injection recommendations:
• Within 12 hours following the injection; do not apply make-up, avoid any violent effort and avoid any air travel.
• During the week following the treatment: avoid drinking alcohol, prolonged exposure to the sun or UV rays, temperatures below 0°C, as well as the practice of sauna or hammam.
• Within 15 days following the treatment: do not undergo dental or other aesthetic procedures.
• Keep the elements handed over by your injector (batch numbers and injection history); they will be necessary in the event of a claim or if you wish to repeat a treatment at a later date.
In rare cases necrosis in the glabella region, abscess, granuloma, and hypersensitivity following injections of hyaluronic acid. However, if you notice a side effect after a TEOSYAL injection, you must contact your practitioner immediately.
AFTERCARE ADVICE
If you have undergone a dermal filler treatment, a hyaluronic acid gel was injected into your skin or lips to improve shape, proportion, lines, shadows or wrinkles.
The results of dermal fillers are immediate & last for 6-18 months but this varies from person to person.
WHAT’S NORMAL AFTER A PROCEDURE?
Due to the anaesthetic in the gel, you may feel numbness or tingling immediately after the procedure, and have some moderate swelling, redness, bruising and tenderness over areas treated. Some people experience a dull ache, and tenderness over the treated areas which subsides between 48-72 hours. Mild, non-painful swelling can last for up to 2 weeks. Bruising is usually visible initially, then more obvious the next day before fading over 7 to 14 days. A small minority of bruises can last for 4-6 weeks.
HOW TO PROTECT YOUR RESULT & REDUCE SIDE EFFECTS
- For 48 hours you should avoid exposure to UV light and heat i.e. sauna, steam, sun beds, hot showers, strenuous exercise etc, as this may increase discomfort and swelling.
- Keep the area cool with a cold compress, but don’t apply ice which can cause injury.
- Try to avoid unnecessary pressure over any areas treated, especially in the first 24 Hours.
- Avoid facial massages or skin resurfacing until the area has healed fully.
REDUCE THE CHANCE OF INFECTION:
- Reduce the risk of infection and reaction by not touching the area for 6 hours. Do not apply make-up over injection points until the day after the procedure.

- The filler changes texture and becomes hard, nodular or lumpy, especially if there is redness or tenderness after 48 hours. All these symptoms may indicate a need for medical assistance from your clinician or family doctor if you are unable to see us, but please contact us so we
can advise.
IMPORTANT: Contact us immediately if you have symptoms of a blocked blood vessel.
If you develop increasing pain near or above the site of injection which is getting worse over time, especially if associated with a pale area of skin indicating a lack of blood flow you should contact us straight away.
*In rare cases, an urgent reversal or other medical interventions may be required immediately to prevent scarring. If we are unreachable attendance at accident and emergency is advised
