Hyaluronidase Dermal Filler Dissolving
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme (compounded by special pharmacies) that causes hydrolysis (breakdown) of Hyaluronic Acid. It is often referred to as a reversal agent for Hyaluronic Acid-based fillers. When the enzyme is injected it dissolves the synthetic Hyaluronic Acid filler.
When fillers go wrong this can be the solution. Having ‘wonky lips’, ‘trout pout’, unevenness, ‘duck lips’ or other lumps and bumps can be uncomfortable and also not aesthetically pleasing.
Hyalase is an enzyme that dissolves fillers of all types. It can be used to correct poor aesthetic outcomes, lumpy results and is also the first line treatment in a vascular complication due to a filler emergency. You may have heard people say they’ve had their lips dissolved or had the fillers taken out. They will be referring to Hyalase treatment. Hyalase is a great product which can remedy many poor outcomes, but it must be prescribed by a qualified medical professional with a prescribers’ license.
Treatment
The area of concern is cleaned and prepared. Hyaluronidase is then injected in small amounts in the area and slowly massaged in to encourage the breakdown of the filler.
How many treatments are required?
Normally one treatment session is enough to dissolve filler, occasionally a follow up is required. When injected, Hyaluronidase has an immediate working effect on Hyaluronic Acid in tissue. It is known to have a half-life of around two minutes, however, its duration of action is longer at around 48 hours.
Bruising and swelling post-treatment is common but this quickly subsides. After two weeks should you wish, you can have the areas refilled.
Hyaluronidase works very quickly, with most of the effect taking place within 24 hours. You should be able to see defined improvement and less filler in the area injected. Hyaluronidase should not negatively impact your natural tissue. However, it can take a series of treatments to dissolve filler in some cases.
