Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, and others are composed of a compound called hyaluronic acid. Fortunately, there is an enzyme called hyaluronidase which can be injected to dissolve the hyaluronic acid. It may take 2 or 3 injections but generally the Restylane and Perlane can be completely dissolved without any long term problems.

Perlane, Restylane and Juvederm are all made of a naturally-occurring substance called "hyaluronic acid" (HA).  An enzyme called hylaruronidase can dissolve HA.  It is available as an injectable called "Wydase" and can be used to dissolve HA when needed.

Fillers and removal

The best way to dissolve the hyaluronic acid products is to inject hyaluronidase. This will dissovle it over a few days time, but be prepared for some additional swelling for about a week.

Reversal of Juvederm, Restylane, and Perlane

Juvederm, Restylane, and Perlane are known as hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. What makes HA fillers attractive is that they are completely reversible with hyaluronidase, which is an enzyme that specifically dissolves HA fillers. For that reason, patients getting fillers for the first time may want to consider HA fillers prior to Radiesse, unless there is a need for significant volume replacement.

Dissolving Restylane and Perlane

If you are unhappy with the results of your Restylane or Perlane injection, there is a solution for you. Both Restylane and Perlane are composed of hyaluronic acid (which is why they are often called HA fillers). Hyaluronic acid can be easily dissolved with the injection of the enzyme hyaluronidase. Your physician should be able to offer this to you.

Hyaluronidase is one of the solutions to problems with Hyaluronic acid filler injections

As mentioned, hyaluronidase (Vitrase, Wydase) will dissolve excess or uneven HA fillers. It is rare that this is necessary. I would recommend finding a facial plastic surgeon that has alot of experience with fillers as most have probably not used or seen hyaluronidase used. It is injected in very small amounts to dissolve objectionable areas of HA filler.

Dissolving Restylane/Perlane

Restylane and Perlane are hyaluronic acid products that are injected for filling and plumping. In cases where too much has been injected or it has been placed in the wrong area the material can be reduced with a product called Wydase which is hyaluronidase. This is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid and will decrease the amount of Restylane/Perlane. However, sometimes the best thing to do is to simply wait for the stuff (filler) to dissolve naturally. Restylane lasts 5-6... more

Removing fillers like Restylane and Perlane

Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm are all hyaluronic acid fillers and can be dissolved or corrected using the enzyme hyaluronidase. This feature makes these types of fillers a great option since there is an "antidote" if you aren't completely pleased with the results. Talk to your dermatologist or plastic surgeon about getting hyaluronidase injected to correct or completely remove your hyaluronic acid fillers.
