What is hyaluronidase?
This solution is for patients with prominent visual defects caused by the incorrect application of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers to the lips. The most effective medical treatment for these blemishes is the introduction of hyaluronidase.
What is meant by hyaluronic acid and hyaluronidase?
Hyaluronic acid is a natural carbohydrate found in the skin of all humans for the purpose of attracting water and keeping the skin healthy.
Hyaluronic acid is found primarily in the skin, but it is also present in the eyeballs, skeleton, and blood vessels.
To dissolve a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler, it is necessary to break the chemical bonds between the molecules by injecting a special enzyme called hyaluronidase under the skin.
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid. The human body contains six different types of hyaluronidase enzyme.
How is the procedure carried out?
Hyaluronidase is injected subcutaneously at the site of the previously injected dermal filler. The result is visible almost immediately, but the final dissolution of the filler takes place one week after the treatment. In some cases, a second hyaluronidase injection is required. This procedure does not require any recovery period.
