Reverse the effects of dermal fillers to correct unwanted aesthetic results or for emergency treatment.
Hylenex is a brand of hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid (HA). It’s used to dissolve dermal fillers made of HA, either for aesthetic correction or emergency treatment.
Note: It only works on HA-based fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Teosyal, etc.), not on Sculptra, Radiesse, or Ellansé.
Consultation first – Your provider will assess whether the filler is HA-based and whether dissolving is needed.
No special prep is usually needed, but avoid:
Initial Results:
Most patients notice some improvement within the first 1-2 days as the filler begins to break down, according to Glow Aesthetic Center. Swelling is a common side effect after Hylenex injections, which can mask the initial results.
Complete Dissolution:
The complete dissolution process, leading to final results, usually takes around 2-4 weeks, according to Livara Aesthetics. This is because the body takes time to metabolize and absorb the dissolved filler.
