Get answers to common questions about Filler-Dissolving Enzyme: Hyaluronidase.

Most patients notice initial softening within 24-48 hours, with significant breakdown and contour improvement over three to seven days. Complete resolution may take longer depending on filler type, amount injected, and individual metabolism.

Hyaluronidase specifically dissolves hyaluronic acid fillers and is ineffective against non-HA products. A thorough consultation and product history help determine if the enzyme will work or if alternative approaches are necessary.

Most clients experience minimal discomfort during the injections; topical numbing can be used. Expect mild swelling, redness, or bruising for a few days. Normal activities can usually resume immediately with gentle care.

Often one session achieves desired correction, but multiple treatments may be required for extensive or long-standing filler. Your provider will reassess after initial dissolving to plan any additional sessions safely.

We typically recommend waiting at least one to two weeks after dissolving to ensure inflammation subsides and results stabilize before re-injecting. Timing depends on amount dissolved, individual healing, and clinician evaluation.

Allergic reactions are uncommon but possible; we perform medical screening and may do testing if history suggests allergy. Side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, and asymmetry, managed by experienced injectors who will provide aftercare and follow-up.
