What Is Hylenex?
Hylenex is an injectable enzyme used to dissolve hyaluronic acid-based fillers, allowing for correction or refinement of previous treatments. What makes Hylenex unique is its ability to safely and effectively reverse or adjust filler, giving both patients and providers flexibility in achieving the desired outcome. It works by breaking down the filler material, allowing the body to naturally absorb it. Hylenex is best used when patients want to correct asymmetry, reduce overfilled areas, or start fresh with a new treatment plan.
How Does Hylenex Work
Hylenex contains hyaluronidase, an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of hyaluronic acid by breaking down its glycosidic bonds. This process rapidly degrades hyaluronic acid-based fillers, allowing them to be reabsorbed by the body.
By increasing tissue permeability and reducing the viscosity of HA, Hylenex enables precise correction of overfilled or misplaced areas. It is an essential tool in aesthetic medicine, providing both safety and flexibility by allowing providers to refine or reverse results and restore natural facial balance.
