Frequently Asked Questions

The information presented below is meant to be an informative guideline only. Please call or email our office to schedule your complimentary consultation with Dr. El-Salawy to determine which treatment option is best for achieving your desired results.

JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC 

JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler designed with the patented Vycross™ technology, which provides more crosslinks of the HA, resulting in longer product duration and greater lift capacity. JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC was designed to add subtle volume to lips and soften the appearance of vertical lip lines.

We prefer the use of JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC for several reasons. The injected tissues absorb less water after injection, have less swelling and produce more natural looking results. JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC has more advanced technology behind it, and its concentration of HA (15 mg/mL) is much less than JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC’s (24 mg/mL), which allows for a smoother injection, and a more moldable product.

JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC uses a more advanced technology and a lower concentration of hyaluronic acid, which in turn provides longer duration of the product and has greater moldability.

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC is also a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler designed with the patented Vycross™ technology, providing longer product duration and greater lift capacity. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC has been approved by the FDA for the treatment and correction of midface volume loss and is the only filler clinically proven to last up to 2 years. It is injected deep into the subcutaneous layer of the skin and/or directly on the bone (supraperiosteal) to lift and contour the cheek area. Some patients have been reported to look 5 years younger just 6 months after treatment.

JUVÉDERM® ULTRA AND JUVÉDERM® ULTRA PLUS

Both JUVÉDERM® Ultra and JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus are used to correct severe facial wrinkles, deep nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and hollow cheeks. The primary differences in the two formulas are the product viscosity and their lifting power. The location and severity of wrinkles and folds will determine which filler is best suited to address and correct the area of concern. 

JUVÉDERM VOLLURE™ XC

JUVÉDERM VOLLURE™ XC softens moderate to severe parentheses lines and wrinkles by adding volume to the lines and wrinkles around your nose and mouth to produce subtle and long-lasting results. It is also made with the VYCROSS® technology and can last up to 18 months.

As with any dermal fillers, injection discomfort, swelling, bruising and bumps are the most commonly reported side effects and are all temporary.

They are both save, natural and reversible hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. The differ in the technology they are made with and as such, their viscocity and longetivity will differ as well. Hyacross technology of Juvederm Ultra® allows it to be injected in lips and will last up to 6 months. Vyacross technology of Juvederm Vollure® makes the product more stable, causes less swelling and prolongs it’s duration or half life.

Yes, JUVÉDERM® comes premixed with lidocaine (numbing medication) for increased patient comfort during the injection procedure.

As with any filler injection, temporary swelling and small bruising can be expected. However, a clinical study showed that when compared to other dermal fillers, less than 5% of patients treated with JUVÉDERM® products developed swelling. With the help of Accuvein, Dr. El-Salawy can see blood vessels located directly under the skin, decreasing the potential for injury to the vein, and ultimately reduces the chance for bruising or bleeding. Dr. El-Salawy offers a 99% guarantee for little to no bruising. Dr. El-Salawy is very proud to be among very few physicians in Florida to offer this bruise-free guarantee.

The average procedure takes about 15-30 minutes (Remove, “to perform”). Dr. El-Salawy (remove “is a perfectionist and”) is very meticulous when (Remove “performing”) administering injections. He takes great pride and satisfaction in taking his time (Remove “in order”) to deliver the results his clients want.

Dr. El-Salawy kindly asks his clients to stop taking any (Remove “potential”) medications that can thin the blood to minimize any chance of bruising and bleeding – like fish oil, Vitamin E, and over the counter and prescription NSAIDS. These medications should be stopped 5-7 days in advance.
There is no downtime associated with JUVÉDERM® injections. Typically, clients can return to their normal routines immediately.
