Follow up question about experience with "reyoungel"

Question

The injector is an RN at at a medspa in ocala, fl. he'd previously done my botox and juvaderm, so I trusted when he decided the reyoungel would be better than juvaderm as he said it was a finer needle. Are you saying that what was done is illegal, being not fda approved nor used in the united states? I have a call into fda but they havent answered yet. I don't know if it's really HA or something foreign and unable to be dissolved. Unbelievable.

Reyoungel is a form of hyaluronic acid gel that is not FDA approved for use as a dermal filler. I am unsure if it has any FDA indications in the United States.  In the state of Florida, RN's are not allowed to administer Botox, Juvederm, or other dermal fillers.  An NP or a PA under the supervision of a Physician is permitted to inject fillers.  This is a red flag situation in every aspect. Be very careful who you see to perform these procedures

Darryl J. Blinski, MD · Answer

To be "perfectly" clear; Any medical injectable MUST have FDA clearances in order to be used in the USA. This product DOES NOT have those clearances, therefore illegal use becomes a felony action in Florida...
