Skinbooster informed consent form template
Consent for skinbooster needs to align two things that tend to cause frustration: what the procedure promises (gradual improvement in skin quality, not volume or a change in contour) and what it can cause (needle marks, swelling, bruising, nodules and, rarely, larger complications). The form is the place to say this in writing, in plain words.
The template below is generic for superficial injectables of non-crosslinked or lightly crosslinked hyaluronic acid. It includes no technique, dose, dilution or brand name. To understand the product, see skinbooster and crosslinking.
When should you use this template?
After the medical history and before the first session. If the plan includes several sessions, a single form can cover the cycle, as long as the planned number of sessions is written down and the patient is told they may withdraw at any time. If the treated area or the type of product changes, redo the form.
What does the patient need to know about recovery?
Skinbooster recovery is usually shorter than that of a volume filler, but it is not zero. A supporting table, with ranges, helps the conversation. Timing varies with the area, the technique and each patient's skin.
| Phase | What usually happens | Note |
|---|---|---|
| First hours | Small papules (little bumps) at the injection points, redness, sensitivity | Usually fade within hours to a few days |
| First days | Mild swelling, possible bruising | May be greater in thin-skinned areas |
| 1 to 2 weeks | Skin looks more even, bruises resolving | Varies widely between patients |
| Following weeks | Possible gradual improvement in hydration and texture | May require more than one session |
Each patient responds differently. Promising a date for "back to normal life" creates an expectation the body does not always meet; it is better to speak in ranges and agree on a channel for questions.
How do you adapt it?
- Write the area: face, neck, décolleté, hands, or whatever was agreed.
- Write the planned number of sessions and the interval, without promising it will be enough.
- Include the cost policy for additional sessions or touch-ups.
- Give written post-procedure instructions. The guide on post-procedure instructions lays out the structure.
- Review with an attorney and with your professional board's rules before using it.
What must never be missing?
| Item | Reason |
|---|---|
| Goal: skin quality, not volume | Aligns expectations |
| Common risks: marks, swelling, bruising, sensitivity | What almost everyone notices |
| Less common risks: nodules, bluish tone, infection, herpes, allergy | They occur and may require treatment |
| Rare and serious: vascular complication | The patient must know the warning signs |
| Gradual, variable result, possibly over several sessions | Avoids disappointment |
| Alternatives, including not treating | Free consent |
| Place, date and signatures | Validity of the record |

If the same patient also has lip filler or a biostimulator, use the specific form for each one: the risks and expectations are different. To recall what makes the document valid, read informed consent.
Frequently asked questions
Can skinbooster go wrong?
Like any injection, it can have unwanted effects: marks, swelling, bruising, nodules, a bluish tone under the skin, infection or allergic reaction, usually rare and often temporary. The risk drops with good indication, hygiene and proper technique, and should be described in the form.
How long does skinbooster recovery take?
It is usually short: papules, redness and small bruises tend to fade within a few days, varying widely between patients and treated areas. The form should warn that the timing is individual and that the result in the skin appears gradually.
Is the skinbooster form the same as the filler form?
The risks overlap, but the expectation is different: skinbooster is aimed at skin quality, not volume, and is usually done over several sessions. A dedicated form is worthwhile, describing the area, the goal and the number of sessions.
