Hylenex is an enzyme (hyaluronidase) used to dissolve hyaluronic acid fillers quickly and safely. It is ideal for correcting overfilled areas, asymmetry, or unwanted filler results. The effects are immediate, and the treated area returns to its natural state.
Hylenex® is an enzyme that temporarily breaks down hyaluronic acid (HA) in the skin. When injected into an area with HA filler, it:
Enzymatically cleaves HA in the gel, so the filler softens and disperses.
Increases tissue permeability, helping your body reabsorb the dissolved material.
Begins working within minutes, with most correction visible in 24–48 hours (very dense/cross-linked fillers may need a follow-up dose).
Is temporary. Your body naturally replenishes its own HA over days to weeks.
Good to know: mild swelling, redness, or tenderness can occur; nearby HA (including natural HA) may also diminish temporarily.
Avoid if you have a known hyaluronidase allergy; use caution with severe bee/wasp venom allergies. Always have treatment performed by an experienced medical professional.
