Description
Removal of filler material
The filler is removed using hyaluronidase
- Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid and is naturally present in the body
- The hyaluronidase used to remove fillers is a prescription-only medication available at pharmacies, and its use requires medical expertise
- Hyaluronidase breaks down only hyaluronic acid
- As a general rule, one hyaluronidase ampoule removes one milliliter of filler
- However, the differences between the various fillers are quite significant
- The structure of the filler, its hyaluronic acid content, the injection depth, and many other factors influence the filler’s susceptibility to degradation
- Filler removals at VM Aesthetics surgeon Männistö and physician Laura Juopperi
