What is Hylenex?

Hylenex (hyaluronidase) is an FDA-approved injectable enzyme that dissolves hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers. It works by breaking down the hyaluronic acid gel, allowing the body to naturally absorb the dissolved material. Whether addressing overfilled lips, uneven filler distribution, or vascular compromise, Hylenex provides a safe and effective solution for reversing unwanted filler results.

At Femme Aesthetics in Miami, we use Hylenex for patients who are unhappy with their filler results, have experienced a complication, or simply want to start fresh. Our medical providers provide careful, precise corrective treatment tailored to each patient’s unique situation, ensuring optimal outcomes and peace of mind.

Your Visit

What to Expect

  1. Before Treatment

    Consultation & Assessment

    A thorough consultation to assess the area and determine the amount of Hylenex needed. We may take photos for comparison and discuss your goals for correction.

    • Bring information about your previous filler treatments (type, date, injector)
    • Inform us of any allergies, especially to bee stings or hyaluronidase products
    • A skin test may be performed to rule out allergic reaction
    • Avoid blood thinners and anti-inflammatory medications for at least one week prior
  2. During Treatment

    Targeted Dissolution

    Small amounts of Hylenex are injected directly into the area with unwanted filler. The enzyme begins working immediately, breaking down the hyaluronic acid gel. The procedure typically takes 15 to 30 minutes with minimal discomfort.

  3. After Treatment

    Recovery & Results

    Mild swelling and tenderness are expected for 1 to 2 days. Results are visible within 24 to 48 hours as the dissolved filler is absorbed by the body.

    • Apply ice to reduce swelling as needed
    • Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for 24 hours
    • A follow-up appointment may be scheduled to assess results
    • Additional Hylenex may be needed if filler is not fully dissolved
    • New filler can be placed approximately 2 weeks after dissolution

Possible Side Effects

Hylenex is generally well tolerated. Common side effects include temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, and bruising at the injection site. These effects typically resolve within 1 to 2 days. In rare cases, an allergic reaction may occur, which is why a skin test may be performed before treatment. Serious side effects are uncommon when Hylenex is administered by qualified professionals like our team at Femme Aesthetics.

★★★★★

I had my lips overfilled at another clinic and was devastated. The team at Femme Aesthetics used Hylenex to dissolve the excess filler, and within two days my lips looked natural again. I was so relieved. They were incredibly professional and made me feel comfortable throughout the process.

★★★★★

After a filler complication under my eyes, I was terrified. Femme Aesthetics saw me quickly and used Hylenex to resolve the issue. The swelling went down fast and by the next day I could already see a huge difference. I cannot recommend them enough for corrective work.

Jennifer L. Google Review

★★★★★

I wanted to start fresh with my lip filler after years of buildup. The Hylenex treatment was straightforward and way less uncomfortable than I expected. Two weeks later I came back for new filler and my lips look better than ever. So glad I decided to reset.

What this costs at Femme

Every question we’ve been asked

What is Hylenex?

Hylenex (hyaluronidase) is an FDA-approved injectable enzyme used to dissolve hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers. It works by breaking down the hyaluronic acid gel, allowing your body to naturally absorb the dissolved material. It is commonly used to correct overfilled areas, uneven filler distribution, or filler complications such as vascular occlusion.

Can Hylenex dissolve all types of filler?

No. Hylenex only dissolves hyaluronic acid (HA) based fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, and similar products. It cannot dissolve non-HA fillers like Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite), Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid), or silicone. If you are unsure what type of filler you have, our medical providers can help determine the best course of action during your consultation.

How quickly does Hylenex work?

Hylenex begins working immediately upon injection. You may notice the filler softening within hours, and full results are typically visible within 24 to 48 hours. In some cases, a follow-up appointment may be needed to assess the results and determine if additional treatment is required for complete dissolution.

Is dissolving filler painful?

Most patients describe the Hylenex injection as a mild pinch or stinging sensation, similar to the original filler injection. The treatment area may be numbed with a topical anesthetic or ice to minimize discomfort. Some swelling and tenderness are normal after the procedure and typically resolve within 1 to 2 days.

Can I get new filler after Hylenex?

Yes. Patients can receive new filler approximately 2 weeks after Hylenex treatment. This waiting period allows the Hylenex to fully dissolve the unwanted filler and for any swelling to subside, giving your medical provider an accurate baseline to work from when placing new filler.
