Hyaluronidase is an enzyme used to hyaluronic acid fillers dissolve safely and in a controlled manner. This treatment is suitable when a previously placed filler does not give the desired result, causes complaints or needs to be corrected. At Xavier Clinics we perform hyaluronidase treatments exclusively on medical indication and with the utmost care.
Safety, expertise and honest treatment advice always come first.
When is hyaluronidase used?
A hyaluronidase treatment can be used for:
-
An unnatural or overcorrected result
-
Asymmetry after a filler treatment
-
Displacement (migration) of filler
-
Swelling or bump formation
-
Blue discoloration (Tyndall effect)
-
Medical complications requiring rapid intervention
Hyaluronidase works exclusively on hyaluronic acid fillers and not on permanent fillers or other materials.
Hyaluronidase treatment: our approach
At Xavier Clinics we always assess first whether hyaluronidase is actually necessary. Not every problem requires complete dissolving of a filler; sometimes, simply adjusting the procedure is sufficient.
Our approach consists of:
-
An extensive consultation and analysis
-
Assessment of the type and location of the filler
-
Use of hyaluronidase in precisely dosed quantities
-
Focus on safety, control and restoration of natural contours
Important:
Hyaluronidase is administered exclusively by experienced cosmetic physicians with in-depth knowledge of anatomy.
Result of a hyaluronidase treatment
-
(Partial or complete) breakdown of hyaluronic acid filler
-
Improvement of asymmetry or unwanted contours
-
Reduction of complaints or tension
-
Quickly visible effect
The enzyme usually starts within hours to days to work. The final result depends on the amount of filler and the product used.
Frequently asked questions about hyaluronidase
What exactly is hyaluronidase?
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid and is used to dissolve fillers.
Is hyaluronidase safe?
Yes, when administered by an experienced physician and for the correct indication. At Xavier Clinics, we follow strict medical protocols.
Is hyaluronidase treatment painful?
The injection may be slightly sensitive. If desired, a numbing cream can be applied beforehand.
How fast does hyaluronidase work?
In many cases the effect is within 24 to 72 hours visible. Sometimes multiple treatments are necessary.
Is my own hyaluronic acid also broken down?
Yes, hyaluronidase can also temporarily break down the body's own hyaluronic acid. This process will resolve itself within a few weeks.
Can any filler be dissolved?
No. Hyaluronidase only works on hyaluronic acid fillers, not on permanent or semi-permanent fillers.
Is one treatment enough?
This varies depending on the situation. Sometimes one session is sufficient, sometimes multiple treatments are necessary.
Can I have fillers placed again after this?
Yes, but we usually advise against to wait a few weeks, so that the tissue can fully recover.
Are there any side effects?
Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness may occur and usually disappear within a few days.
