Hyaluronidase time of onset

A couple things about hyaluronidase 1. It takes 2-3 days to dissolve the filler 2. It may take an additional 2 weeks for absorption of filler/hyaluronidase to occur 3. It may take a couple more months for the skin and local swelling of tissue to resolve Most of the effect is seen immediately but then the healing process may take some longer time to get rid of the swelling etc..

Hyaluronidase works almost instantly

The effects of hyaluronidase on hyaluronic acid can be seen almost instantly.  Maximum results are achieved in approximately 2-3 days.  This is a great treatment to remove unwanted filler.

Hyaluronidase

In my experience 2 to 3 days. It varies from individual to individual and also depends on the dose. Try to undergo small amounts of injections to see if it works well for you. It can sometimes work too well and absorb all the Hyaluronic Acid. If that is your intent, then go ahead. However, sometimes patients like the results but have a small bulge which needs to be flattened.In that situation it is better to start with small amounts and then titrate it based on the response.
