Hyaluronidase

Your Benefits

• Targeted dissolution of unwanted hyaluronic acid
• Rapid correction of over- or misplacement
• Safety net for vascular complications
• Enzymatic, not surgical
• Effect visible within hours
• Enables a fresh start with corrected planning

The Treatment Process

When Hylase Makes Sense

Three scenarios make enzymatic dissolution the right decision:

1. Aesthetic dissatisfaction with a result — When proportions are off, volume is too strong, or the outcome does not meet expectations.
2. Migration or encapsulation of material — When hyaluronic acid has shifted or become trapped in fibrous tissue.
3. Emergency vascular compromise — When a filler compresses a vessel and blood flow is at risk. Every minute counts.

In all three cases, experience in dosing is crucial. Too little hylase remains ineffective, too much dissolves more than intended. The right balance requires knowledge of anatomy, the product used, and the individual tissue response.

The Process of Dissolution

Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that works at the molecular level, cleaving the bonds within the hyaluronic acid network. Injected into the filler area, it breaks down the gel's cross-linking and converts it into water and smaller fragments that the body naturally removes.

Dosing depends on the amount and degree of cross-linking of the filler to be dissolved. Typically, the effect is visible within hours, with full dissolution apparent after 24 to 48 hours. A follow-up treatment may be necessary if the first dose is insufficient or multiple layers need to be addressed.

Important to know: hyaluronidase can also temporarily affect the body's own hyaluronic acid in the treated area. The tissue may feel drier or flatter in the first few days. However, the natural hyaluronic acid fully regenerates in the following days — the effect is temporary and self-correcting.
