HYLENEX contains recombinant human hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid. When injected into an area containing hyaluronic acid filler, it can help dissolve the product so your body can clear it. We may use HYLENEX to address unwanted volume, asymmetry, migration, or other filler concerns after first assessing the existing filler.
HYLENEX contains hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid, the material used in many dermal fillers. When we inject it into an area containing unwanted filler, it breaks the hyaluronic acid into smaller components your body can clear. We first assess what was injected, where it sits, and how much correction is appropriate. Depending on the filler and concern, more than one treatment session may sometimes be needed.
Understand your anatomy, explore your concerns, and discover the reasoning behind a personalized treatment plan.
You may consider reversal if you’re concerned about excess volume, migration, asymmetry, lumps, or a result that no longer suits your face. We first assess the area and your treatment history because not every filler concern requires dissolving, and sometimes leaving the filler alone is more appropriate.
You might. The number of sessions depends on the type and amount of filler present, where it was placed, how long it has been there, and how much correction is needed. We can reassess the area after your treatment rather than automatically dissolving more filler than necessary.
Not necessarily. Filler reversal can be approached based on your anatomy and circumstances. In some cases, the goal may be substantial dissolution; in others, we may target a specific area or reduce unwanted volume. Your provider will explain the intended correction before treatment.
You may experience temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, or itching around the injection sites. These side effects generally improve as the area settles. You’ll receive aftercare instructions and guidance about when we want to reassess the treated area.
Hyaluronidase can also temporarily break down some of the naturally occurring hyaluronic acid in your tissues. Your body continually produces hyaluronic acid, so this effect is not permanent. Your provider considers this when determining how much product to use and where to place it.
Filler reversal isn’t automatically about removing everything. At Method Medspa, we first assess what’s present and how it affects your proportions before deciding how much correction makes sense. HYLENEX allows us to selectively target unwanted hyaluronic acid fillers with clinical judgment. Schedule your consultation to discuss HYLENEX filler reversal in Signal Mountain, TN.
