What is Hylase®, and How Does It Work?
Hylase® is the brand name for hyaluronidase, an enzyme that specifically breaks down hyaluronic acid in the skin. It splits the molecular chains of the filler, allowing the body to naturally metabolize and remove it.
Visible results appear within hours of the injection. Our experienced specialists carefully dose the enzyme, ensuring precise corrections without affecting the surrounding tissue.
Why Choose Hylase®?
- Rapid action within hours
- Targeted corrections in specific areas
- Minimally invasive (injection-based)
- Safe procedure performed by experienced doctors
Common Reasons for Hyaluronic Acid Removal
1. Dissatisfaction with the Aesthetic Result
- Unnatural volume
- Asymmetries or distortions
- Unsuitable contours (e.g., after lip augmentation)
2. Overcorrection or Filler Lumps
- Visible or palpable nodules under the skin
- Irregularities due to improper injection
3. Medical Complications or Urgent Need
- Allergic reactions to fillers
- Infections in the treated area
- Vascular compression causing circulation issues
4. A Change in Aesthetic Preferences
- Desire to return to a natural appearance
- Removal before a better-suited treatment
Treatment Process at Swiss Derma Clinic in Zurich
1. Consultation & Analysis
We begin with a detailed examination, assessing the type of hyaluronic acid used and its placement to determine the ideal Hylase® dosage.
2. Allergy Test
Before injection, we test for hypersensitivity to prevent allergic reactions.
3. Hylase® Injection
The enzyme is precisely injected into the targeted area, triggering an immediate breakdown of the filler. Depending on the filler type and volume, multiple sessions may be required.
4. Follow-Up & further treatment if needed
After treatment, we schedule a follow-up appointment to assess the results. If necessary, we plan additional sessions to achieve the desired outcome.
Key Aspects of the Treatment
- Precision is crucial – Overcorrection can affect surrounding tissue, so the procedure should only be performed by experienced professionals.
- Not all hyaluronic fillers are the same – Cross-linked fillers may require multiple sessions for full removal.
- Patience is key – Although effects are visible quickly, complete filler breakdown may take a few days.
