Treatment to remove hyaluronic acid fillers

Hyaluronidase is also known as hyaluronan. It is an enzyme that works by breaking down the hyaluronic acid, a sugar that is present in the connective tissues.

Hyaluronidase enzymes sold under the brand names Hydase, Hylenex, and Vitrase, are highly effective in dissolving hyaluronic acid-based facial fillers.
