Treatment to eliminate Juvéderm and other hyaluronic acid fillers is possible with an injectable enzyme called hyaluronidase. This enzyme, which is naturally found in the body, works by breaking down the bonds that hold hyaluronic acid molecules together. Once broken down, these molecules are absorbed by the body without any adverse effects. Hyaluronidase is used to partially or completely remove Juvéderm products (including VOLUMA and VOLBELLA), Restylane and Belotero products. The enzyme is injected into the treated area with dermal fillers, and it quickly dissolves the hyaluronic acid.
The procedure is relatively safe and has few side effects. However, it is important to note that hyaluronidase can cause temporary redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site. It is also important to consult with a qualified medical professional before undergoing any treatment.
