When having a dermal filler injected by a trained Aesthetician the rate of serious complication is quite low, however, it is an incidence which still needs to be prepared for. Some of these serious complications such as allergic reactions or vascular occlusions, can only be dealt with by dissolving the filler. REVOLAX would like to answer all the important questions about this process to ease your mind and make sure that you receive our best service before and after the procedure.
Having a dermal filler move from its intended place or not liking the result is every aesthetic enthusiast’s worst nightmare. Especially first timers can get nervous before their first injections. If something goes wrong, dissolving the filler is often the only option and that can be scary if you don’t know what to do and how it is been done.
Can REVOLAX be dissolved and how does it work?
REVOLAX is a cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler which can be dissolved like any other HA based filler on the market. In order to get rid of all the product, a medical professional will inject the enzyme ‘Hyaluronidase’ (commonly known as ‘Hyalase’) into the affected area which depolymerises the hyaluronic acid in the fillers which means it breaks down the HA that holds your filler together.
How long does it take?
Hyaluronidase works quickly. 24 hours after the treatment, the effects of the enzyme should have taken place and dissolved the majority of the HA dermal filler. However, you should already see improvements a few hours after the Hyalase has been injected. To give your face a chance to heal properly and the body some time to eliminate all traces of the hyaluronidase, it is advised to wait at least two weeks until the next HA filler treatment.
What are the risks?
A possible side effect of the treatment can be an allergic reaction to the enzyme. It is important to talk to your trusted medical professional about any existing allergies and conditions beforehand. The professional might suggest a patch test before the treatment.
Who is qualified to inject Hyaluronidase?
To minimise the risk of complications, make sure your procedures are always performed by a trained professional. Any procedure done by a non-trained professional increases the risks of complications. Ask your trusted medical specialist about a filler dissolution.
When do I know that my filler needs dissolving?
Hyaluronidase is a last resort for medical emergencies and should be treated as such. If you develop true complications like persistent pain, excessive bruising or lumpiness, you should talk to your practitioner and have your fillers checked to make sure that nothing was injected too deep, too superficial or in a place where it doesn’t belong.
To avoid the unnecessary use of Hyaluronidase, it is important for the practitioner to manage the client’s expectations. Unrealistic expectations or miscommunication can lead to unwanted results. It is therefore very important to communicate clearly with your aesthetic practitioner beforehand to make sure that you are on the same page and that your desired outcome is an achievable goal. If the use of Hyaluronidase can be avoided, it should be.
At REVOLAX your health and happiness always come first. We urge you not to seek treatment with unlicensed people and to make sure that you have had an open and honest talk with your medical practitioner before getting injected.
