Can Hylenex Dissolve All Types of Fillers?

When your filler no longer looks or feels right, it's natural to want a fix. Maybe you're dealing with puffiness, noticeable migration, or asymmetry or perhaps you've just decided the look isn't for you anymore. The good news is that filler correction is both familiar and manageable.

Using a specialized enzyme called Hylenex,  many issues can be resolved quickly and effectively. But there's one big question that often comes up in these situations: Can Hylenex dissolve all types of fillers?

At Beyond Health MedSpa in Miami, Florida, we specialize in filler corrections, and we’re here to answer this question for you.

What Is Hylenex and How Does It Work?

Hylenex is a solution containing hyaluronidase, an enzyme naturally found in the body. Its role is to break down hyaluronic acid (HA), a building block often used in dermal fillers. HA-based fillers like Juvederm or Restylane work wonders to smooth wrinkles and enhance volume, but when corrections are needed, Hylenex steps in to restore the area to its natural appearance.

Here’s how it works, it targets hyaluronic acid molecules in the filler, breaking them down safely and naturally. This allows your body to absorb and process the remnants, effectively dissolving the treated filler. For these reasons, Hylenex is trusted by aesthetic providers for precise and targeted reversals.

Can Hylenex Dissolve All Types of Fillers?

Navigating the world of fillers can be confusing, especially when determining whether Hylenex is suitable for your situation. Here’s what you need to know:

The Short Answer: Hylene Only Works on HA-Based Fillers

Hylenex is effective for breaking down only hyaluronic acid-based fillers. These include popular options such as:

• Juvederm family (Ultra, Voluma, Volbella, etc.)

• Restylane family (Lyft, Silk, Kysse, etc.)

• Versa

• Belotero

Since these fillers are composed of HA molecules, Hylene can easily "grab onto" and dissolve them. This makes the process exceptionally reliable when done by skilled providers.

Why Hylenex Does Not Work on Non-HA Fillers

If your filler isn’t made from hyaluronic acid, Hylenex won’t have any effect. Fillers like Sculptra (collagen stimulator), Radiesse (calcium hydroxyapatite), Bellafill (PMMA microspheres), or silicone have entirely different chemical compositions. Since Hylenex is specifically designed to target HA, it cannot interact with these other substances.

What If You Don’t Know Which Filler You Have?

You’re not alone if you’re unsure about the type of filler you’ve received. During a consultation, experienced injectors evaluate your filler type through patient history, physical exams, and even palpation. These steps are crucial because dissolving non-HA fillers requires different approaches.

The Consultation Process at Beyond Health MedSpa

At Beyond Health MedSpa in Miami, proper assessment is key. Before proceeding with any treatment, our injectors carefully examine your filler using both touch and professional knowledge to determine the best course of action.

We review your filler history, what products were used, how much, and when to set realistic expectations and create a tailored solution. This prevents unnecessary dissolving and ensures safe, effective results.

What If You Have a Filler That Hylenex Can’t Dissolve?

If your filler isn’t HA-based, don’t worry there are still solutions. For products like Sculptra, Radiesse, or Bellafill, treatment plans are adjusted to address complications.

This may include ultrasound-guided techniques or other conservative correction strategies. Not all filler complications require dissolving, and a customized approach can often resolve aesthetic concerns.

Does Hylenex Work for Older or Migrated Filler?

Older HA fillers that have moved can dissolve in different ways. To avoid over-dissolving, it's important to take your time and be careful in these circumstances. This is especially important for places like the lips or under the eyes, where skill is quite important. We at Beyond Health MedSpa put nature first to make sure the outcomes feel like "you" again.

Why Professional Dissolving Matters

If you don't treat dissolving fillers correctly, they might cause problems including over-dissolving, oedema, or rare allergic reactions. That's why it's important to pick an expert. To keep our patients as safe as possible, Beyond Health MedSpa uses cautious dosing, constant patient monitoring, and medical-grade Hylenex. You can trust us here.
