Hyaluronidase for unwanted Juvederm in glabella

Greetings~ If you feel the Juvederm you had injected previously is causing pressure or discomfort or doesn't look right, it's quite simple to quickly and safely inject hyaluronidase into the area you had treated with Juvederm.

Hyaluronidase injections for Juvederm

Hyaluronidase quickly breaks down HA fillers like Restylane and Juvederm. If injected properly by a board-certified physician who has experience, you shouldn't have any problems and it should dissipate quickly. Sometimes 2-3 sessions may be advisable if you want to get rid of all of the Juvederm, rather than just some of it. I've never seen or heard of it being injected into a vein, but again, visit an experienced injector and your likelihood for post problems will be greatly... more
