What is Hylenex Dermal Filler Reversal in Coral Gables?

• Hylenex is an injectable enzyme called hyaluronidase. It's used to dissolve or reverse the effects of hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers.

• How it Works: Hylenex breaks down hyaluronic acid by hydrolyzing the HA molecules, which allows the body to naturally absorb the broken-down filler.

• Why it's Used:

  • Dissolve HA Fillers: When there are unwanted results from HA fillers, such as overfilling, asymmetry, nodules, or migration of the filler.

  • Correct Complications: In cases of vascular occlusion (a blocked blood vessel), which can be a rare but serious complication of filler injections, Hylenex can be used to dissolve the filler and restore blood flow.

  • Dissolve HA Fillers in Undesired Location: If HA filler has moved from the intended area.

• Important Note: Hylenex is specifically designed to dissolve hyaluronic acid fillers. It will not work on other types of fillers, like Radiesse or Sculptra.
   

Benefits of Hylenex Dermal Filler Reversal in Coral Gables:

• Corrects Unwanted Results: Hylenex can effectively correct overfilled areas, lumps, or asymmetry caused by HA fillers, providing a more natural and balanced appearance.

• Treats Complications: It can be used to treat vascular occlusions, which is a critical benefit to prevent potential skin damage.

• Offers a Solution: Hylenex provides a way to "undo" or adjust the results of HA fillers, giving patients more control over their outcomes.

• Minimally Invasive: The injection of Hylenex is a relatively quick and minimally invasive procedure.

• Quick Results: While results may vary depending on the amount of filler and the individual's metabolism, the effects of Hylenex can be seen quickly, often within 24-48 hours.
   

What to Expect During Treatment at The Aesthetics MD:

• Consultation: A consultation is required to discuss your concerns, assess the filler issue, and determine if Hylenex is appropriate.

• Assessment: The provider will carefully evaluate the area(s) where the filler needs to be dissolved and develop a treatment plan.

• Preparation: The area will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to improve comfort.

• Injection: Hylenex is injected directly into the area where the HA filler needs to be dissolved.

• Post-Procedure: Ice may be applied to the treated area to reduce swelling or discomfort.
   

What to Expect After Treatment:

• Immediate Effect: You might notice some softening of the filler immediately after treatment, but the full results will become more apparent as the filler is broken down.

• Possible Swelling and Bruising: It is normal to experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site. These side effects usually resolve within a few days.

• Gradual Dissolving: The hyaluronic acid filler will be gradually broken down and absorbed by the body over the next several days to a few weeks.

• Follow-up: You may have a follow-up appointment to assess the results and determine if further treatment is needed.
