What is Hyaluronidase?
Hyaluronidase is a soluble protein enzyme that is typically used to break down the hyaluronic acid found in dermal filler injection treatments like Juvéderm® and Restylane. The solution works by breaking up — and helping the body to reabsorb — the filler introduced to the body during the hyaluronic acid injection. It accomplishes this by increasing tissue permeability, splitting the molecular bonds holding the hyaluronic acid together and promoting the natural cellular processes responsible for its diffusion.
Did you know?
Its ability to quickly disperse chemical agents makes hyaluronidase ideal for applying anaesthesia as well. For this reason it may […]
