POST-INJECTION CORRECTIVE TREATMENTS USING HYALURONIDASE

Hyaluronic acid is one of the safest substances used in facial aesthetics through minimally invasive procedures.

This dermal filler is composed of the body's own molecule that breaks down with collagen and elastin during the aging process.

Hyaluronidases are enzymes that can depolymerize the injected hyaluronic acid so in case of undesirable results or post-treatment complications, these enzymes can be administered immediately.

The action of hyaluronidase is immediate, lasting up to 48 hours.

The indications for using hyaluronidase are:

• Undesired post-injection outcome - often due to incorrect technique, or lack of communication, an undesired outcome can occur;
• Allergic or immunologic reactions to hyaluronic acid;
• Vascular complications;
• Tyndall effect - visualization of injected hyaluronic acid through the transparency of the skin;
• Presence of post-injection nodules.
