Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that is used to dissolve fillers make of hyaluronic acid, which are a different pH than your body's own tissue. Therefore, the enzyme cannot effect your normal tissue. Best, Dr. Emer.
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid. The broken down filler is then reabsorbed and disposed of. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
Amphadase comes from a bovine source (cows).Vitrase comes from an ovine source (sheep). Hylenex comes from a recombinant human product.BestDr karamanoukian
Hyalorinudase is an enzyme = protein. It is injected in very small quantities and is eventually absorbed into the blood stream, metabolized and excreted.
Hyaluronidase is a naturally occurring enzyme. Voluma and other hyaluronic acid fillers are able to be dissolved by hyaluronidase. The body simply eliminates the product. Depending on the manufacturer, hyaluronidase may be from recombinant human sources or may be animal derived.
Thank you for your question. Normally I like to wait a few weeks depending on how much is injected to dissolve the filler. Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for a treatment plan that is best for you.
Hyaluronidase breaks down hyaluronic acid but not fat. With that said it can break down natural hyaluorinc acid as well as Juvederm. The effects are highly does dependent. A conservative dose placed right in a collection of filler will dissolve the filler. A large does spread around outside...
Having a patient charged for hyaluronidase is routine practice for most cosmetic surgeons, especially when the patient is coming in from elsewhere. I would address the issue with the initial injecting provider first.
