Filler Dissolving - Hyaluronidase Injections

Filler dissolving injection: Removing Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers with Hyaluronidase injections.

Image
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occuring substance in the skin and can be broken down via natural metabolic processes involving the enzyme hyaluronidase. Hyaluronic acid is also the main ingredient in dermal fillers, which are used in aesthetic medicine to add volume to the face, for a lifted and full appearance.

However, Hyaluronic acid gel filler treatments don’t always give a satisfactory cosmetic outcome and in rare instances may even cause a medical emergency when injected directly into a blood vessel. Overfilled faces, migrated filler and vascular occlusion from filler injection are scenarios in which hyaluronidase injections are required to dissolve filler.

Hyaluronidase injections work by breaking down the hyaluronic acid so the body can reabsorb it, rapidly breaking down hyaluronic acid gel filler into H20 (water) by the process of hydrolysis. Effects can be seen immediately with full results in 5-7 days.

Hyaluronidase injections do not work for permanent or semi-permanent fillers such as silicone or calcium hydroxyapatite.

Why do people get Hyaluronidase Injections?

People generally opt for hyaluronidase injections when they would like to reverse the effects of hyaluronic acid gel fillers. Common scenarios where clients request to dissolve their fillers include:

  • Overfilled Face Syndrome — Accumulation of excessive filler volumes causing an unnatural or fake look.
  • Migrated filler — Lumps, asymmetry or swelling caused by filler migration.
  • Unsatisfactory cosmetic outcome — Too much filler causing a saggy or tired appearance of the skin.
  • Vascular occlusion — When Hyaluronic acid gel filler is accidentally injected into a blood vessel causing blockage, urgent filler dissolving injections are required to reverse this and and hopefully “unblock” the affected blood vessel
