Juvederm Tyndall effect can last a very long time.

Edward D. Buckingham, MD answers: Massaging area after Juvederm

Can massaging 10 days after a Juvederm injection help with the Tyndall effect? Does massaging increase the rate at which the Juvederm dissolves? I had a small scar injected with very very little amount of Juvederm. The doctor said he used about 1/10 of what was in the vile. Is it possible for me to just massage this small amount of Juvederm completely out? I am most concerned with the bluish tint it caused. I would consider getting the Juvederm dissolved but there was such a small amount injected that I think is too risky to do.

I have personally seen the Tyndall effect from a HA filler last for years.  It doesn't undergo the same absorption rate as when the filler is placed at the proper depth.  Massage may help and if you want it out then go for it.  But honestly it probably won't and using hyaluonidase is perfectly safe.
