While Bocouture offers many benefits, safety is of paramount importance. A trained qualified aesthetic practitioner must administer the injections, as the wrong dosage, injection, or move could result in serious consequences. It is not unheard of that patients may suffer temporary muscle weakness and even paralysis due to human error. Even with the correct dose, there could be some minor issues or side effects that a qualified aesthetic practitioner would need to aid with.
Although these side effects are usually temporary, they can lead to panic if not dealt with immediately.
Bocouture should be reconstituted with a 0.9% sodium chloride solution for injection. Proper preparation and administration are crucial to prevent spillage and ensure patient safety.
In case of incidents such as spillage or contact with skin, quick and appropriate actions are essential to mitigate risks and ensure the safety of both practitioners and patients.
By adhering to these guidelines, practitioners can harness the full potential of Bocouture, providing patients with the best possible outcomes while maintaining the highest safety standards.
