Hyaluronidase: Q&A
Ask a Question
Can Hyaluronidase Be Used Incrementally to Avoid Dissolving All of the Juvederm?
I had Juvederm injected in my tear troughs over a month ago which caused major swelling and the Tyndall effect. Is there any way only some of the Juvederm can be dissolved if the hyaluronidase is injected slowly over the course of an hour or so? Thank you.

Hyaluronidase, Restylane, Perlane, and Juvederm
Hi jackster212,
It would be nice if it were that precise. Hyaluronidase dissolves hyaluronic acid (HA). That's all it does. It is injected if there is too much hyaluronic acid (the main component of Restylane, Perlane and the Juvederm products) and, especially, if there are any complications related to the injection of those substances.
Once the hyaluronidase (one trade name is Vitrase, another is Wydase) is injected, it starts to dissolve whatever hyaluronic...

Hyaluronidase for controlled dissipation of Juvederm
IT is difficult to quantify the effects of hyalturonidase and using dilution of the product, one could administer extremely small quantities but to some degree you will get an all or nothing response.

Yes, but no guarantees
It IS possible to try and only dissolve some hyaluronic acid filler, ie., juvederm. The technique works if less units of the hyaluronidase is used. The time to inject does not usually have much to do with it. As with all these injections, it's difficult to gauge the outcome and your injector will not be able to gaurantee any result, but a decreased amount of hyaluronidase usually does the trick. good luck!

Hylauronidase does dissolve Restylane and Juvederm.
Since hyaluronidase works by enzymatic breakdown of the Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, the degree and amount of dissolution is related to the amount of the original HA filler and its original injection technique (tiny amounts placed in microdroplets within the target tissues--the preferred method), or larger blobs and lumps (unfortunately all too common), as well as the concentration and the amount of the hyaluronidase injected. With all these variables, you can see why the correct...

Using hyaluronidase carefully & incrementally
Hyaluronidase is a useful agent to dissolve the hyaluronic acid fillers such as juvederm and restylane. It can be injected carefully & incrementally in small doses, with reassessment 2 weeks later. More can always be added, and this way you don't dissolve all the filler.

Hyaluronidase for Juvederm or Restylane
It is possible that small doses of hyaluronidase can be used and to follow and a later date with more so not all filler is dissolved at one time.

Hyaluronidase removes HA fillers completely
In my experience the hyaluronidase enzyme typically removes all of the filler and can't be controlled for partial removal with any precision. It sounds like you may be better off by going to a different filler or fat grafts so as to avoid the Tyndall effect.
