Can hyaluronic acid be dissolved?
Hyaluronic acid can be used as a dermal filler, injected into the face to improve wrinkles and enhance elasticity. The general reference price for hyaluronic acid injection is 1600-5200 yuan per session, and noticeable improvement is usually seen after 2-4 weeks. Hyaluronic acid can typically be dissolved if necessary, and patients are advised to visit a hospital for professional treatment.
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes hyaluronic acid, specifically recognizing and breaking down hyaluronic acid molecules. Hyaluronic acid can generally be dissolved. If the results of hyaluronic acid filler are unsatisfactory—for example, due to poor shaping or over-injection—hyaluronidase can be used for dissolution. The process of injecting the dissolving enzyme is relatively straightforward, similar to hyaluronic acid injection, and involves precise injection at the targeted areas for dissolution.
The dosage of the dissolving enzyme needs to be determined based on the amount of hyaluronic acid previously injected. Typically, a larger dose of enzyme results in faster dissolution. However, excessive use of the enzyme may cause adverse effects on surrounding tissues. After enzyme injection, results are usually noticeable within 1-2 days. The treated area may experience mild swelling, redness, or other reactions following dissolution, which typically resolve spontaneously within a short period.
In daily life, it is recommended to maintain a light diet, ensure adequate rest, and keep the face clean to promote recovery.
