Your assessment
Your injector reviews what was previously injected, when it was placed and the appearance of the treated area today. A plan may involve dissolving only a selected area or reassessing after swelling settles.

VIEW BEFORE & AFTER GALLERYPERSONALIZED AESTHETIC CARE
A thoughtful approach to adjusting existing dermal filler.
At Cosmetica Medical Clinic, we use Hylenex® (hyaluronidase), an enzyme that helps break down hyaluronic acid, to address selected concerns with existing hyaluronic-acid dermal filler. Whether you are experiencing unwanted volume, asymmetry, filler migration or simply want a fresh start, dissolving can be part of a personalized treatment plan. Using Hylenex to dissolve cosmetic filler is an off-label use, and not every type of filler can be dissolved.
Your treatment experience
Your injector will review your filler history, examine the treatment area and discuss whether a targeted correction or more complete dissolving is appropriate. Hylenex is injected into the selected area, where it helps break down hyaluronic-acid filler. The response varies with the filler and the amount present; some patients need more than one visit. Temporary swelling can make it difficult to judge the final appearance immediately.
What to know
Temporary swelling, tenderness, redness and bruising can occur. Allergic reactions, including rare serious reactions, are possible, so your provider will review your medical history and relevant allergies before treatment. If you plan to receive dermal filler again, your injector will recommend when to reassess and whether to schedule a future appointment.

When a fresh start makes sense
We use Hylenex®, a recombinant human hyaluronidase product, when clinically appropriate to help dissolve hyaluronic-acid filler. Treatment may address unwanted fullness, asymmetry or migration, but results vary and some filler types cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Cosmetic filler dissolving is an off-label use of Hylenex.
During and after treatment
Hylenex is carefully injected into the selected area. You may notice swelling, redness, tenderness or bruising afterward. Your injector will explain when to assess your results and whether another session may be helpful.
Important considerations
Allergic reactions are possible, and hyaluronidase should only be administered after appropriate medical assessment. Your provider will explain when it is safe to consider additional filler.
