    Frequently Asked Questions

    How Does Hylenex Work?

    Hylenex is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid, the main component of many dermal fillers. When injected, Hylenex targets the hyaluronic acid molecules, creating microchannels that allow the body to naturally disintegrate the unwanted filler. This process begins almost immediately, offering a quick solution to correct or reverse filler treatments.

    Am I a Good Candidate for Hylenex?

    Ideal candidates for Hylenex are those who:

    • Have evolving aesthetic preferences and wish to return to a natural look
    • Are unsatisfied with their filler results due to overfilling or asymmetry
    • Experience prolonged swelling, nodules, or allergic reactions

    What Are Common Areas of Hylenex Application?

    Hylenex can correct issues in various areas, including:

    • Lips: To reduce an exaggerated pout
    • Undereye: To address puffiness from misplaced injections
    • Cheeks: To restore natural contour lost due to overfilling
    • Nasolabial Folds: To correct over-smoothing
    • Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty: To fix asymmetries or swelling

    When Should I Avoid Hylenex?

    Hylenex should be avoided if you have known allergies to hyaluronidase. It is also not recommended for individuals with active skin infections at the injection site. Additionally, those with a history of severe allergic reactions should refrain from using Hylenex. If you have a history of allergies, a test may be performed by Dr. Schwarzburg to confirm safety.

    How Do I Prepare for Hylenex?

    Preparing for a Hylenex treatment with Dr. Schwarzburg is straightforward and requires no special preparation. It is advisable to avoid alcohol, smoking, and blood-thinning medications before the procedure to minimize the risk of bruising.

    What is the Actual Process of Dissolving Fillers?

    The Hylenex treatment begins with a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort, with the option for injectable lidocaine if needed. Dr. Schwarzburg then performs targeted hyaluronidase injections to dissolve unwanted fillers.

    How Long Does it Take to Dissolve Fillers with Hyaluronidase?

    The procedure takes about 5 to 15 minutes. Results can often be seen immediately, although some swelling may temporarily obscure the final outcome for up to 24 hours.

    What Is the Aftercare?

    After receiving Hylenex, it’s important to apply ice packs to reduce swelling and follow the provided aftercare instructions for a smooth recovery. You can resume normal activities immediately, as there is no significant downtime associated with the treatment.

    What is the Downtime?

    There is essentially no downtime and you can return to your regular activities right after the procedure.

    What Are the Risks and Complications of Hylenex?

    • Temporary swelling and redness
    • Mild bruising
    • Rare allergic reactions
    • Uneven dissolution in rare cases
    • Minimal risk of infection

    When Will I See Results After Hyaluronidase Dissolving?

    Results are typically visible within 24 hours, though many patients see immediate effects.

    How Many Sessions of Hylenex Will I Need?

    Most patients require only one session, but additional sessions may be necessary for extensive corrections.

    Is Hylenex Safe?

    Yes, Hylenex is FDA cleared and is safe when administered by a qualified professional like Dr. Schwarzburg. It specifically targets injected hyaluronic acid without affecting the body’s natural hyaluronic acid or fat.

    Does Hylenex Hurt?

    Most patients report minimal discomfort due to the use of topical anesthetics and the option of injectable lidocaine.

    What is the Cost of Hylenex?

    The cost ranges from $500 to $2000, depending on the amount and type of filler to be dissolved, the treatment area, and the provider’s expertise.

    What Are the Different Types of Hyaluronidase?

    There are several brands of hyaluronidase available, each with unique properties. Hylenex is FDA-approved and carries an absolutely minimal risk of allergic reactions, making it the preferred choice of Dr. Schwarzburg due to its consistency and safety. Vitrase is effective but can be associated with moderate to severe allergic reactions. Amphadase is another FDA-approved option but often yields less predictable outcomes. Hydase, while effective, is known for inconsistencies and potential allergic reactions. Dr. Schwarzburg’s expertise ensures the best results by selecting Hylenex for his patients.

    How Much Hylenex is Needed to Dissolve Filler?

    Typically, 1 mL of Hylenex is used to dissolve 1 mL of filler, but the exact amount varies based on individual needs.

    How Soon Can I Get Filler Injections After Hylenex?

    Wait at least 48 hours after Hylenex treatment to ensure the previous filler has completely dissolved and hyaluronidase has been flushed from the injected area before attempting new filler injections.

    Will Hylenex Dissolve All Fillers?

    Hylenex specifically targets hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, and RHA. It does not work on non-HA fillers such as Radiesse, Sculptra, or Bellafill.

    Is There an Alternative to Hylenex?

    Alternatives include waiting for natural degradation, massage, heat application, steroid injections, aspiration, and laser treatments. However, Hylenex remains the most effective and quickest solution for dissolving hyaluronic acid fillers.
