Hylenex is a purified form of hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid. Since most dermal fillers (like Juvéderm and Restylane) are made of hyaluronic acid, Hylenex can dissolve them safely and predictably.

Common reasons include correcting asymmetry, softening overfilled or lumpy areas, addressing filler migration, resolving a vascular complication, or simply wanting to remove filler because your preferences have changed.

Most patients feel only a brief pinch & burning sensation from the injection. Many patients describe the sensation as uncomfortable. We can apply a topical numbing cream beforehand if you'd like extra comfort.

Hylenex starts working almost immediately, and many clients notice visible softening within 24 to 48 hours. Final results are usually apparent within a week.

Yes. Most patients can safely receive new filler once any swelling has resolved, usually about two weeks after dissolving, though your provider will confirm timing based on your specific treatment.

Downtime is short lived. You will experience some mild to moderate swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site, similar to what you'd expect from filler itself, and this typically resolves within a few days.

It depends on how much filler is present and how it responds. Some areas fully dissolve after one treatment, while others may need a follow-up session about a week or two later for touch-ups.
