Dermal fillers are a popular and effective aesthetic treatment that can add volume to the skin, smooth lines and wrinkles, and enhance the shape and structure of the face. However, in some cases, you might want to remove or adjust your fillers, and this is what hyaluronidase is for. But what is this, how does it work, and what do you need to know about using hyaluronidase to dissolve dermal filler?
How does hyaluronidase work?
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid (HA), which is one of the most common ingredients of dermal fillers. This hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the skin and body, where it retains moisture and nourishes cells, and when injected as a filler, it creates volume in specific areas. If the filler needs to be removed or corrected, hyaluronidase is injected into the area to rapidly break down the HA, allowing the body to absorb and eliminate it naturally.
When you choose us here at the Skin and Wellbeing Clinic, the process is relatively simple:
Consultation and assessment – Our qualified team of practitioners will assess your concerns and ensure hyaluronidase is the appropriate solution.
Skin testing (if required)- Some individuals may require a patch test to check for allergic reactions to hyaluronidase.
Injection of hyaluronidase- The enzyme will be injected into the area containing the unwanted filler.
Rapid breakdown of filler- Hyaluronidase begins working almost immediately, with results typically visible within 24-48 hours.
Follow-up if needed- Some cases require additional sessions for full correction, depending on the amount of filler present.
What are the benefits of using hyaluronidase to dissolve filler?
Using hyaluronidase to dissolve filler brings a number of benefits and advantages, including:
Quick and effective results- Unlike waiting months for fillers to naturally break down, hyaluronidase works within hours to days, providing fast correction of unwanted results.
Safe and targeted treatment- When administered correctly by a trained professional, like our practitioners here at the Skin and Wellbeing Clinic, hyaluronidase precisely targets the filler without significantly affecting the surrounding natural tissues.
Corrects overfilled or uneven areas- If you choose dermal fillers from an unqualified person or team, you may have too much filler in a certain area, or your results appear asymmetrical. In this case, hyaluronidase can be used to fine-tune or completely reverse the treatment.
Fixes migration of filler- Another issue with dermal fillers that aren’t professionally administered is that the filler can move beyond the intended area, causing bumps and an odd result. Hyaluronidase helps restore the natural facial structure by dissolving the misplaced filler.
Why should you choose a professional team?
There are several key reasons why you should always seek treatment from a qualified, experienced professional rather than an untrained or inexperienced injector. These include:
Medical knowledge and expertise- Qualified practitioners have the necessary knowledge of facial anatomy and injection techniques to administer hyaluronidase safely and effectively.
Avoiding over-dissolving- A skilled practitioner will use the correct amount of hyaluronidase to target the filler without affecting natural hyaluronic acid in the skin, preserving your natural facial volume.
Reduced risk of allergic reactions or side effects- Although rare, some people can have allergic reactions to hyaluronidase. Professional clinics like ours here at The Skin and Wellbeing Clinic, may perform a patch test beforehand and have emergency protocols in place to manage any adverse effects.
Safe and sterile environment- Choosing a licensed clinic ensures the treatment is performed in a clean, sterile setting, reducing the risk of infection or complications.
You should always choose a professional team for your dermal fillers and any hyaluronidase treatment. Not only are there health risks associated with incorrect administration, but also a professional team can guarantee the best possible results.
