Should not: Usually would undo injected medication.Use under the eye works but must be done very carefully be experienced doctor to avoid injection into vessels.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Hyaluronidase won't: Hyaluronidase won't help scars.  It helps dissolve hyaluronic acid which is present between collagen fibers but scars are made up of dense collagen bundles which are not affected by hyaluronidase.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Some people get allergic to hyaluronidase.  It is used to dissolve fillers- hyaluronic acids.  Give your filler a couple days to settle in before dissolving if you can as it is expensive to have fillers placed.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

: I would recommend not using hyaluronic acid fillers as hyaluronidase is the only available rescue agent in the event of an injection being placed intravascularly, in a poor aesthetic location, or in a location where it is applying adverse compression on another structure.

Question 7

Hyaluronidase won't: Hyaluronidase won't help scars.  It helps dissolve hyaluronic acid which is present between collagen fibers but scars are made up of dense collagen bundles which are not affected by hyaluronidase.

Question 8

my eyes seem smaller after juvederm on march 30th, is it  due to swelling or permanent?no changes since 3-4 days, should i resolve with hyaluronidase?

Accepted Answer

Ask surgeon: Swelling can take several days to go down. Ice may help. A check up with the surgeon who injected can direct care in the best way. Nobody could give an accurate answer without seeing you in person.

Question 9

i went to a cosmetic surgeon for hyaluronidase injections for lumpy juvederm. he also prescribed two weeks of biaxin (clarithromycin). have you heard of this?

Accepted Answer

No: Biaxin (clarithromycin) is an antibiotic.  It does not affect hyaluronic acid (ie juvederm) . However your physician may be concerned for infection.

Question 10

is hyaluronidase a safe product to use? is hyaluronidase used to dissolve filler (restylane) under my eyes. i cannot find a lot of information on this drug. has it been around long enough to see if there are any long-term side effects?

Accepted Answer

Your : Your body makes hyaluronidase, and that's why dermal fillers are not permanent.  Injecting it to breakdown the Restylane will hasten the dissolution.  If you simply have some minor irregularity, sometimes just massaging the area will be sufficient.  If you have blueish bumps, you will likely benefit from hyaluronidase.
