Even preventively before a reshaping or correction, it can be useful to completely remove old material – BONITAS will honestly inform you.

How does Hylase work?

Hylase (Hyaluronidase) is an enzyme that specifically breaks down hyaluronic acid. It is injected precisely where the filler is unwanted and takes effect within minutes to hours.

Advantages:

BONITAS exclusively uses high-quality Hylase preparations, taking into account your skin type and potential allergies.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

The natural degradation time of injected hyaluronic acid in the body is approximately between six and twelve months – depending on the fine structure, injection amount, location, and individual metabolic rate. However, there is no fixed timeframe. If you want to speed up the process, a targeted medical treatment can help.

Yes, complete dissolution is possible – through the targeted use of hyaluronidase, an enzyme that specifically breaks down hyaluronic acid. The injection is performed by an experienced specialist and usually leads to a visible reduction of the filler within a few hours to days. Since it is a medical procedure, precision is crucial – quality and experience are particularly important here.

For accelerated degradation, the injection of hyaluronidase is the most effective way. Home remedies or massages do not offer reliable effects and can destabilize the result or intensify side effects.

The cost of a hyaluronidase treatment depends on the volume, the amount of enzyme used, and the complexity of the injection. Decision criteria such as exact dosage, sterile procedure planning, and expert medical execution make qualitative differences. At BONITAS, you receive transparent and individual consultation – without hidden additional costs.

Yes, we are happy to treat patients with hyaluronic acid that was not originally injected at BONITAS. What matters more is the quality of the initial treatment and the documentation of the product and volume. During the personal consultation, we check compatibility and plan the optimal treatment process with hyaluronidase – regardless of the origin of the filler treatment.
