Are there cases in which Vycross hyaluronic acid fillers cannot be dissolved?

Hi Angelika.  Yes, most dermal fillers made out of Hyaluronic acid are fairly straightforward to dissolve with Hyaluronidase.  But, certain fillers that use Vycross technology have been resistant to duissolving, specifically Voluma.  Although this is not public knowledge, there are cases of Voluma injections that take many visits to dissolve.  We know this from having spoken with heavy Voluma injectors.  For this reason, we have chosen to stay away from Voluma and prefer Radiesse and Restylane Lyft.

It can take a series of treatments with hyaluronidase to dissolve Vollure, but it's difficult to determine how many treatments are needed. I recommend following up with your injector. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question! Hyaluronidase will dissolve any form of hyaluronic acid regardless of the manufacturer. The only thing that one needs to know is that hyaluronidase does not always work from a single treatment and two to three treatments may be necessary in some individuals. Best of luck!

All HA fillers are made with the same active ingredient, but some have a cross-linking technology that is touted to improve collagen buildup. This same technology may make the product last longer but also be harder to dissolve/breakdown. Multiple treatment sessions with hyaluronidase enzyme may be necessary to break these down.Liposuction is unlikely to be the solution since it is not fat you are trying to remove, but rather the HA product and/or collagen scaffold that has built up around/through it. Direct removal of filler product can be done in some cases but requires incisions which can leave scars. Eventually, these products should go away as they are not actually permanent, but it may take more than a year from injection to fully fade.

Hello, Hyaluronic fillers that are made using the Vycross technology can take multiple treatments of Hyaluronidase to dissolve.  If you really would like this dissolved then it just might take a few more treatments.
