REVERSING UNWANTED RESULTS
ABOUT HYLENEX/HYALURONIDASE
Filler dissolving with hyaluronidase, also known as Hylenex, is a procedure used to break down and dissolve hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. Hyaluronidase (Hylenex) is an enzyme that accelerates the natural degradation of hyaluronic acid, allowing for the reversal of filler injections and correction of undesirable outcomes.
WHAT IT IS
Filler dissolving with hyaluronidase (Hylenex) is effective in correcting overfilled or asymmetrical areas, lumps, bumps, or other complications resulting from hyaluronic acid-based filler injections. The enzyme works by breaking down the hyaluronic acid molecules, allowing the filler to be absorbed and metabolized by the body, restoring a more natural appearance.
HOW IT WORKS
During a filler dissolving procedure with hyaluronidase (Hylenex), a small amount of the enzyme solution is injected into the treatment area using a fine needle. The process is relatively quick and typically well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort. Patients may experience some swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection site immediately following the procedure, but these side effects usually subside within a few days.
WHAT TO EXPECT
-
There is minimal downtime associated with filler dissolving, and most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment. Some swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site may occur, but these side effects are usually mild and temporary. It is essential to follow post-treatment instructions provided by your healthcare provider to optimize results and minimize any discomfort.
-
Candidates for filler dissolving with hyaluronidase (Hylenex) include individuals who are dissatisfied with the results of hyaluronic acid-based filler injections or experiencing complications such as overfilling, asymmetry, or irregularities. It is essential to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if filler dissolving is appropriate for your specific concerns.
-
The number of filler dissolving treatments required will depend on factors such as the amount and type of filler being dissolved, the desired outcome, and individual response. In some cases, a single treatment may be sufficient to achieve the desired correction, while others may require multiple sessions for optimal results.
-
Filler dissolving with hyaluronidase (Hylenex) is generally well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort during the procedure. Patients may experience a slight stinging sensation or pressure at the injection site, but this usually subsides quickly. Topical numbing cream or local anesthesia may be used to minimize any discomfort during treatment.
-
While filler dissolving with hyaluronidase (Hylenex) is considered safe when performed by a qualified healthcare provider, there are potential risks and side effects. These may include swelling, redness, bruising, allergic reactions, or temporary changes in skin texture. It is essential to discuss any concerns or medical history with your provider before undergoing treatment.
-
The results of filler dissolving typically noticeable within a few days to weeks following treatment as the filler is gradually broken down and absorbed by the body. Patients may experience some immediate improvement in the treated area, with continued refinement over time as the swelling subsides and the skin settles.
