Hi. I want to remove restylane from under my eyes. I am considering trying ultherapy first and then assessing the need for hyaluronidase. I believe ultherapy to be the safer but expensive option (and also maybe less likely to work) but im not fussed about cost vs safety. I would appreciate any professional advice/opinions regarding my planned approach. Many thanks.
Ultherapy does not have an indication for removing Restylane. Hyaluronidase is very safe (barring allergies) and is the best way to remove misplaced or migrated Restylane.
I recently opted for a restalyn injection on one side on the tip of my nose. This area is a little less full than the other side. I had the procedure done once before and it turned out great. However this time the doctor injected it to high into an area that did not need it and now my nose looks crooked. I would like to get the Hyaluronidase treatment to remove it yet I am worried about it damaging existing tissue since that area is already lacking in fullness. I have read conflicting reports.
In short, yes!! You can use hyaluronidase to "melt" Restylane (or Perlane, Juvederm) where ever it is injected. I have used it in many patients (close to 100) with no negative adverse effects. Despite a popular myth, hyaluronidase does not permanenly effect your own native tissue. Any effects are temporary, as the body is constantly producing hyaluronic acid (HA) to replace the naturally degrading HA. So, it safe, effective, and easy to use in reversing Restylane. Feel free contact me if you need a referral in San Diego. All the best from LA, Dr. Vartanian.
I had juvederm injections 3 1/2 weeks ago and one side is uneven which I am being told is swelling but I'm certain its not swelling and is product. I am considering Hyaluronidase but would like to know how long this stays in your skin for and how long I will have to wait to have more jevederm injections by a more skilled doctor
Great question! The half life of hyaluronidase is about 3 days, so with a single local injection, its effect should approach zero in 3-4 weeks. So I would wait about 4 weeks, before reinjecting an area previously treated with hyluronidase. All the best, Dr. Vartanian
