When to use this template

This template is appropriate when:

• You’re a single-location or small-chain med spa offering injectable dermal fillers
• You need a filler-specific consent form (distinct from botox or general med-spa consent)
• You’ll store the signed copy in a HIPAA-eligible system with a Business Associate Agreement
• Your patient is an adult

If you operate in California or Texas, additional state-specific informed-consent language may be required — consult local counsel before deploying.

4. Acknowledgment of dermal filler risks

I understand that dermal filler injections carry inherent risks including but not limited to:

• Temporary swelling, bruising, redness, or tenderness at injection sites (common, 5-14 days)
• Lumpiness or palpable nodules that may require dissolution (for HA fillers) or massage
• Asymmetry between treated areas — may require touch-up
• Vascular occlusion (rare but serious): if filler is inadvertently injected into a blood vessel, it can block blood flow, causing tissue necrosis, scarring, or — in rare cases involving facial arteries connected to the eye — blindness. Immediate intervention (hyaluronidase for HA fillers) is the standard response.
• Tyndall effect (bluish discoloration) — particularly relevant for tear-trough injections
• Granuloma or delayed-onset nodule formation (rare; weeks to months post-injection)
• Infection at injection site (rare with sterile technique)
• Cold sore reactivation in patients with HSV history
• Allergic reaction (rare)

I acknowledge that no guarantee has been made about the specific outcome or duration. Typical duration:

• Hyaluronic acid fillers: 6-18 months depending on product and area
• Sculptra: 18-24 months
• Radiesse: 12-18 months

5. Hyaluronidase consent (for HA fillers only)

• _____ I understand that if a vascular occlusion or significant asymmetry occurs, my practitioner may inject hyaluronidase to dissolve the HA filler. I consent to hyaluronidase administration as an emergency or corrective intervention.

6. Photographic release

• _____ I consent to before/after photographs being taken for my medical record
• _____ Marketing use authorization (check ONE only):
  • _____ Yes, with no identifying features visible (treatment area only, no full face)
  • _____ Yes, with consent for limited identifying features (full face, no name)
  • _____ No, my photographs are not authorized for marketing use

7. Post-treatment instructions acknowledgment

I have received post-treatment instructions including:

• _____ Avoid touching, pressing, or massaging treated areas for 24 hours
• _____ Avoid strenuous exercise and saunas for 24 hours
• _____ Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
• _____ Avoid dental work for 2 weeks post-treatment
• _____ Avoid heat/UV exposure for 48 hours
• _____ I will contact [PRACTICE NAME] immediately if I notice severe pain, color change, blanching, or vision change in the treated area or surrounding regions (signs of vascular occlusion)

8. Financial acknowledgment

• Treatment fee: $[FEE]
• Payment method: [METHOD]
• Touch-up policy: [PRACTICE-SPECIFIC — e.g., “Touch-ups within 14 days at no additional charge for asymmetry; lumpiness corrected at no charge”]
• Cancellation policy: [PRACTICE-SPECIFIC]

9. Signatures

Patient signature: ___________________________ Date: ___________

Practitioner signature: ___________________________ License: ___________

Witness (if applicable): ___________________________ Date: ___________

How to use this template (step-by-step)

Step 1: Customize the bracketed sections

Replace [PRACTICE NAME], [PRACTITIONER], treatment specifics, and pricing. Keep the structural sections (1-9) intact. The pre-treatment disclosure list (Section 3) reflects 2026 standard-of-care contraindications.

Step 2: Have local counsel review

State-specific informed-consent requirements may require additional language. A one-time review by a medical-aesthetic-law attorney takes <2 hours.

Step 3: Load the template into your HIPAA-eligible form-builder or e-signature tool

• AI form builder with HIPAA BAA (Formfy, Jotform Gold tier) — paste the template, or regenerate via prompt (“Generate a dermal filler consent form covering HA + Sculptra + Radiesse, with vascular occlusion warning and photographic release”). Formfy is the AI Agreement Engine for SMS-first client onboarding — a category-defining positioning vs. legacy signers and generic form builders. Limitation: Formfy’s pre-built template marketplace is smaller than Jotform’s catalog; the AI prompt flow compensates if you prefer describing what you need.
• E-signature tool with HIPAA BAA (DocuSign Standard tier) — upload as PDF, drag signature fields onto the form
• Manual paper-then-scan — print, sign in person, scan to HIPAA-eligible storage

Step 4: Test the signing flow

Sign a test form yourself. Verify the signed copy lands in HIPAA-eligible storage (NOT generic email), audit trail captures timestamp + IP + signer identity, patient receives a copy.

Step 5: Set up touch-up re-confirmation

For maintenance patients (6-18 month touch-up cycle), most e-signature tools support “re-confirm previously signed waiver” — configure this for your practice.

FAQ

Why is the vascular occlusion warning so prominent?

Vascular occlusion is the most serious risk of dermal filler injection. The standard of care requires explicit disclosure of this risk and the practitioner’s planned response (hyaluronidase for HA fillers). A consent form that omits or downplays vascular occlusion is weaker in establishing informed consent for the procedure.

Do I need a separate form for each filler product?

Best practice is a single filler-consent form that lists all the products you might use, with the specific product circled at time of treatment. This avoids re-signing if the practitioner adjusts the product selection during the session.

What about Sculptra and Radiesse — they’re not HA fillers?

The template covers them but the dissolution path (Section 5) only applies to HA fillers. Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) and Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) are not dissolvable; complications require different management (intralesional steroids, surgical excision). The form discloses these are non-dissolvable; the practitioner should explain the implication in the consultation.

Can I modify the template freely?

Yes — the template is provided as editorial content for adaptation. We recommend keeping the 9-section structure and the vascular occlusion warning. Have local counsel review before deploying. We don’t provide legal advice or guarantee compliance for any specific state/jurisdiction.
