Can someone with a bee sting allergy get hyaluronidase safely?

February 11, 2013

I have read some accounts which suggest that people who have bee sting allergies (anaphylactic reactions) may have an increased risk of reacting to hyaluronidase. I have had Restylane placed in my eyelids but I am disappointed with the uneven results. Is it safe for me (with a bee sting allergy) to have hyaluronidase? Does this apply to all hyaluronidase products? Is allergy testing recommended prior to the injections?
