How does dissolving fillers work?
Hyaluronidase breaks down the hyaluronic acid in the fillers, allowing them to be absorbed and disposed of by the body. This process happens quickly and safely, usually within 24 to 48 hours after injection. Fillers composed of hyaluronic acid are thus effectively broken down and removed. This means that dissolving fillers with this treatment is only effective against temporary hyaluronic acid-based fillers. Hyalase is used specifically to correct excessive or misplaced fillers, or when you are not satisfied with the results after all. It is a popular choice among patients who are dissatisfied with the results of their filler treatment.
The Hyalase treatment
First, the doctor will check with you whether you are indeed suitable for Hyalase treatment. Therefore, it is also important that you know what brand of filler you have been treated with. During the treatment, Hyalase is injected directly into the filler, which breaks down the hyaluronic acid filler. The process only takes a few minutes and the effect is quickly visible. Hyalase treatment is best done at least two weeks after the filler is placed. This is because there is swelling after filler placement. A doctor may also recommend that you wait even longer before dissolving the filler, as residual swelling can persist for up to six weeks and can affect the outcome of your filler treatment.

The drug has been approved for medical use by health authorities such as the EMA and the FDA. These approvals confirm the safety and effectiveness of Hyalase, provided it is administered by an experienced physician.
