Juvederm Removal with Hyaluronidase and Collagen Depletion

Hyaluronidase should be used conservatively to reduce the HA filler component. It is possible that hyaluronidase breaks down other constituents, though not specifically collagen.

Hyaluronidase corrections' effect on collagen depletion

Juvederm corrected using hyaluronidase injections don't cause collagen depletion due to it being a naturally occurring substance our bodies very slowly degrade. Hyaluronidase does not interrupt normal collagen production, nor the amount at the scene. It is an injectable that when properly used, can help a patient achieve a softer, more natural looking result by breaking down the common chemical thread in fillers (hyaluronic acid). At Victoria Park, many such cases are seen, to a more or... more

Hyaluronidase affects HA filler only, not natural collagen

This question is asked a lot. I'm not going to get into all the science, but the fact is this: there is a difference between HA fillers and natural collagen. Even though HA fillers are similar, they are not bioidentical to nature. Hyaluronidase therefore works only to remove synthetic HA. It doesn't affect natural collagen. The most important thing though, just like with fillers in general, is that adjusting and removing them is just as much an art as putting them in to begin with. Seek a... more

Hyaluronidase only breaks down Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronidase does not dissolve collagen but only Hyaluronic Acid. If not used conservatively it can break down natural hyaluronic acid in the skin giving the appearance of increased loss in volume. Conservative amounts and starting slow is the key to minimize excessive hyaluronic acid break down.

Hyaluronidase breaks down HA fillers, not collagen

Hyaluronidase will not affect collagen. The body does have some natural hyaluronic acid but that will be replenished by the body after hyaluronidase. Some docs routinely use it when injecting local anesthetic because it makes the area of numbing larger. Bottom line is that the filler (Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane, Belotero, Prevelle) is mostly affected by hyaluronidase and it should dissolved rather quickly, minutes to hours.

Juvederm removal with Hyaluronidase

Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down Hyaluronic acid, not collagen. We do produce our own hyaluronic acid and there is a chance that we can break down some of our own hyaluronic acid if we are injected with hyaluronidase but it is temporary since we make more and at the point we decide to break down an HA filler it's usually the lesser of the evils. If you are unhappy with the filler results getting rid of it is usually more important than worrying about the risk of temporary... more
