Hyaluronidase – Filler Dissolution

Hyaluronidase is a medical enzyme used to safely and effectively dissolve hyaluronic acid–based fillers. It is indicated when filler results are unsatisfactory, overcorrected, asymmetrical, or when medical reasons require rapid correction. Hyaluronidase allows precise adjustment or complete removal of hyaluronic acid fillers while preserving surrounding tissues.

At our clinic in Lisbon, hyaluronidase treatments are performed exclusively by board-certified plastic surgeons, ensuring a high level of anatomical expertise, safety, and controlled outcomes.

 

When Is Hyaluronidase Used?

Hyaluronidase may be indicated in the following situations:

  • Overcorrection or excessive filler volume
  • Asymmetry or uneven results
  • Irregularities, nodules, or visible filler
  • Unwanted aesthetic outcomes
  • Medical indications requiring prompt filler dissolution

The treatment can be used for partial correction or complete dissolution, depending on the clinical situation and patient goals.

How Hyaluronidase Works

Hyaluronidase breaks down hyaluronic acid into smaller components that are naturally absorbed by the body. The enzyme acts locally and precisely, allowing targeted correction without affecting untreated areas.

Treatment Areas

Hyaluronidase can be used in all areas previously treated with hyaluronic acid fillers, including:

  • Lips
  • Nasolabial folds
  • Marionette lines
  • Cheeks
  • Jawline
  • Chin
  • Under-eye area (when clinically appropriate)

Treatment Protocol

  • A detailed medical assessment is performed prior to treatment
  • Hyaluronidase is injected directly into the area where filler is present
  • The procedure is typically completed in a single session
  • Treatment is carried out in a medical outpatient setting

When Are Results Visible?

  • Filler dissolution often begins within hours
  • Full effects are usually visible within 24 to 72 hours
  • In some cases, an additional session may be required

Safety and Considerations

  • Hyaluronidase is safe when used appropriately by experienced physicians
  • Temporary swelling, redness, or tenderness may occur
  • An allergy assessment is performed when clinically indicated

Aftercare and Further Treatment Options

Following filler dissolution, further aesthetic treatments can be planned if desired, such as:

  • Re-treatment with hyaluronic acid using a revised approach
  • Alternative aesthetic procedures tailored to anatomy and goals

Hyaluronidase provides a reliable and medically sound solution for patients seeking safe correction or reversal of hyaluronic acid fillers in Lisbon, with expert care and precise results
