Correct Unwanted Results with Hyaluronidase Solution

For example, you might have too much filler or the result doesn't feel right or as you expected. In very rare cases where fillers have been injected into a blood vessel and block blood flow, the filler can be dissolved quickly with hyaluronidase to avoid further complications. 

Depending on how much filler needs to be dissolved, several treatment sessions may be required. It is very uncommon for fillers to need to be removed surgically.

Hyaluronidase Can Only Be Administered by Doctors and Dentists

Hyaluronidase, which is used to dissolve fillers, is a medication that requires special authorization from the treating physician or dentist. Some people may be allergic to hyaluronidase, so an allergy test is always performed in the clinic before treatment can be given.

When can I get new filler in the area?

We always wait one month before performing a new filler treatment in the area that has been treated with hyaluronidase. It’s most common to dissolve old or migrated fillers in or around the lips, but it can also be done around the entire face. Hyaluronidase is a special use medication that dissolves hyaluronic acid fillers, but it has no effect on calcium hydroxyapatite-based fillers.

How does a filler removal treatment work?

First, we examine the area and perform an allergy test. If desired, the area can be numbed. After that, hyaluronidase is injected, which starts dissolving the filler immediately. The final results can be seen after about 2 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions from Patients

Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid in fillers. This treatment is used to dissolve unwanted or overfilled results from hyaluronic acid-based fillers.

Hyaluronic acid is broken down in the body into smaller sugars and eventually into carbon dioxide and water, which are then naturally eliminated.

Yes, when performed by a qualified practitioner, hyaluronidase treatment is safe. A thorough evaluation is always conducted before the treatment to ensure that it is appropriate for your specific case.

Results are often visible within a few hours, but the full effect may take up to 48 hours to appear completely.

The treatment may cause mild discomfort, but a numbing cream or local anesthesia can be applied to help minimize any discomfort.

No, hyaluronidase specifically acts on hyaluronic acid and does not work on other types of fillers such as calcium hydroxyapatite (which is found in certain other fillers).

Common side effects include swelling, redness, and possible bruising. In rare cases, allergic reactions can occur, but this is uncommon. An allergy test should always be conducted before using hyaluronidase for the first time.

We recommend waiting at least 2 weeks after a hyaluronidase treatment before getting a new filler to give your skin time to stabilize.

In most cases, hyaluronidase can effectively dissolve filler, but sometimes multiple treatments are needed to achieve the desired result.

Once hyaluronidase has been injected and has started to work, the effect cannot be reversed. Therefore, it is important to have a thorough discussion with your provider before beginning the treatment.
