Situations Where Hyaluronidase / Hyalase May Be Considered

Lumps or bumps:
Hyalase / hyaluronidase may be used by a doctor to help dissolve localised irregularities.
Unevenness of results:
In some cases, Hyalase / hyaluronidase may be used to smooth the appearance of treated areas.
Infections:
When infection is associated with a previous cosmetic procedure, Hyalase / hyaluronidase may be part of a management plan as determined by the treating doctor.
Blue appearance under the skin (Tyndall effect):
This may improve following medical treatment with Hyalase / hyaluronidase.
Asymmetry:
Hyalase / hyaluronidase may be used to reduce product volume in one area to improve balance.
Overtreatment:
Where excessive product is present, Hyalase / hyaluronidase can assist in reducing the amount.
Vascular events:
