Will PRP injections help dissolve nodules from HA fillers?

Question

Hello, I have nodules due to HA fillers (they have been there for over a month). I was wondering if PRP might help dissolve the nodules? I would rather stay away from hyaluronidase as this would just ruin the volume. Thank you

Hello Beautista,
Your hyaluronic acid nodules should first be dissolved using Hyaluronidase.  Once they are gone, EZ Gel PRF would be a great treatment choice for you to replace the lost volume.  It is 100% made from your own blood.  PRP on its own will not dissolve your HA nodules. EZ Gel PRF treatment is 100% natural, the EZ Gel PRF is made from two tubes of your blood without anything added.  The tubes are centrifuged, one is heated to form the blood protein albumin, the other tube is cooled to form PRF.  When combined, an injectable gel is formed that is then injected with a cannula under the eyes in the hollows.  The volume benefit is immediate.  Stem cells and growth factors act over time to improve the quality of the skin, skin color, tone, and texture.  Ideally, patients have two treatments 6 to 8 weeks apart, and then one treatment per year for maintenance.  It is essential that you carefully choose your injecting physician for optimal results.  Feel free to contact our office to schedule a virtual consultation to answer any further concerns or questions. Good luck and be well.

Hyaluronic Acid nodules from filler injections  are an unfortunate side effect. Platelet Rich Plasma on it own,  will not dissolve the nodules.

PRP injections alone will not dissolve nodules from hyaluronic acid fillers, however it is certainly possible to dissolve nodules and restore fullness at the same time&mdash;and PRP can help you do so.Nodules are a possible side effect of HA fillers, but they are not something to be concerned about; and they will dissolve on their own typically within a year. Additionally, you can use hyaluronidase in conjunction with other therapies to both dissolve nodules and maintain the fullness received from fillers. The Vampire Facial, for example, combines topical PRP with microneedling to promote collagen production. This allows you to restore healthy, full skin without the use of hyaluronic acid.
