Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Hylenex Filler Dissolver.

Hylenex contains the hyaluronidase enzyme that enzymatically breaks down hyaluronic acid fillers. Our clinicians inject precise, controlled doses into targeted areas, dissolving filler while monitoring vascular safety and tissue response. Most clients see improvement within 24–72 hours.

Most clients experience mild discomfort during injections; topical numbing minimizes pain. Expect minor swelling, redness, or bruising that typically resolves within a few days. Most people resume normal activities immediately, avoiding strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours as a precaution.

Improvement often begins within 24 to 72 hours as the enzyme breaks down filler. Full resolution may take up to two weeks depending on filler amount and location. We schedule follow-up visits to assess results and perform additional dissolving if necessary.

Hyaluronidase can temporarily affect native hyaluronic acid, but doses used are targeted and conservative. Any minor changes typically recover as the skin’s natural HA replenishes. Our clinicians minimize risk through precise placement and appropriate dosing to preserve skin quality.

Common effects include temporary bruising, swelling, redness, and mild tenderness. Rarely allergic reactions or overcorrection can occur. We perform medical history screening, allergy testing when indicated, and use conservative dosing to reduce risks. Immediate care instructions are provided.
