Hyalase™ is an enzyme which breaks down hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is the component of dermal fillers, but is also naturally occurring in the skin and soft tissues. Hyalase™ (hyaluronidase 1500 units) is licensed and commonly used to boost absorption or dispersal of drugs injected into the skin and has an off license use in aesthetic medicine.
Occasionally dermal fillers need to be dissolved when the treatment outcome is unacceptable, when an adverse reaction to the implant has occurred, or there is a possibility of vascular occlusion and/or impending necrosis (tissue death) which could lead to the compromise of healthy tissue.
Massaging the area or leaving the dermal filler to break down naturally which may take several months dependent on the type of filler used and the area treated.
A small percentage of the population may be severely allergic to Hyaluronidase, particularly those who are allergic to bee stings. Hyalase™ administration can result in anaphylaxis a severe allergic reaction which in itself is life threatening and requires immediate medical attention and hospitalisation.
Hyalase can be used for emergency dissolving of fillers which is required when there is a vascular occlusion, (the filler has blocked a blood vessel) the Hylase is reconstituted differently in this situation. When the Hylase is required for cosmetic reasons to dissolve or soften the area it will still be unpredictable and therefore no guarantee can be made that the cosmetic outcome will be satisfactory. You must understand that you may require further Hylase treatment sessions at at least 1 week interval or re-treatment of filler at may be necessary to achieve the desired result.
