Hylenex, or hyaluronidase, is a natural protein enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid by injecting it after dermal filler treatment to reverse its effects. It separates molecules in the hyaluronic acid and allows your body to reabsorb them. After our specialists at Pele Aesthetics in the Buckhead area of Atlanta inject your skin with Hylenex filler dissolver, the results of the dermal filler treatment will disappear, and your skin will return to its natural appearance.
It will take an average of 48 hours for the effects of Hylenex to be visible. It is important to note that you may notice swelling after injection, which will gradually disappear. Our trained medical experts will discuss the expected results of the injection and the minor side effects you can expect. After an average of 10-14 days, you can opt for a filler re-injection from our experts.
The Hylenex treatment only takes a few minutes to complete. After the injection, the medications start to work immediately. Some patients may note immediate deflation, while for others, it can take hours and several injections to notice the results.
The injections are painless and conducted in the outpatient setting. They can be completed without the need for the administration of pain medication. Numbing creams during the procedure are unnecessary as the treatment method is non-invasive.
Another thing about the Hylenex injection is that it is a low-risk injection. It works to reverse the effects of migrated, lumpy, or misplaced dermal fillers. It works effectively without causing any damage to the surface of your skin. Some side effects of the injections include swelling, itching, or mild pain at the injection site. When our specialists do the injection, you can expect low risks.
Hylenex is an enzyme that occurs in your body naturally. Thus minimal allergic reactions are expected after the injection. Most patients tolerate the injections well and will observe great results after a few hours.
