A member asked:
Can hyaluronidase injections dissolve scar tissue such as keloids?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
