What is Hyaluronidase?

A Critical Tool in Filler Complication Management

Dermal fillers, particularly hyaluronic acid-based fillers, have become a cornerstone of modern aesthetic medicine. While generally safe, complications can occasionally arise, ranging from minor asymmetries to serious vascular occlusions.

In these scenarios, hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid, plays a pivotal role in managing and reversing these complications effectively.

Procedure 

When injected into the tissue, hyaluronidase degrades the hyaluronic acid in dermal fillers by breaking down its molecular bonds. The enzyme starts acting almost immediately, with visible results typically apparent within 24 hours.

Safety and Considerations

While hyaluronidase is an invaluable tool, it must be administered with care. Patients should be tested for potential allergies to hyaluronidase before use, administering the correct dosage is crucial to avoid excessive dissolution of filler and only trained medical professionals should handle hyaluronidase injections to ensure optimal outcomes and minimize risks.
