What is Hyaluronidase?
If a patient is unhappy with their hyaluronic dermal filler injection, they can be assured that it is possible to remove it using Hyaluronidase.
Patients can have different reasons for wanting to remove dermal filler. One common reason is because an inexperienced practitioner has over-filled or over-done an area.
Cases like these include areas such as the lips, cheeks, and tear troughs areas.
Other reasons may include:
- Asymmetry
- Lumps or Bumps
- Regret or a general dislike of results
- and in rare cases an allergic reaction
What is Hyaluronidase?
Hylauronidase is an injectable enzyme that dissolves hyaluronic acid and reverses the results safely and quickly.
Normally after these HA dermal filler are injected, the body will gradually break them down in about 6 months to a year. If a patient does not want to wait, Hyaluronidase can speed up the process.
What Results Can I Expect?
Results will begin immediately but it will take 2-3 days for the Hyaluronidase to show full results.
Hyaluronidase is not selective and will remove any hyaluronic acid from the injection area. It cannot recognize which dermal filler a patient would like to keep and which is unwanted. Therefore even highly skilled practitioners are unable to guarantee that other Hyaluronic based fillers in the area will not be affected. More than one treatment will most likely be required.
The most important thing consider is that you don’t have to live with temporary fillers, if you are not satisfied with the outcome. Visit Lasting Looks Clinic in Toronto for a consultation.
