Hyaluronidase: efficacy and safety of use in cosmetology

With an increase in requests for the correction of aesthetic imperfections with dermal fillers based on hyaluronic acid, cases of adverse events and complications have become more frequent. Hyaluronic acid in the form of a dermal filler is one of the most popular procedures in aesthetic medicine and has a high safety profile. Despite the fact that hyaluronic acid is an integral part of the extracellular matrix, fillers based on it can also cause complications. The use of an antidote in the form of hyaluronidase allows you to correct possible adverse reactions such as hypercorrection, the Tyndall effect, the formation of granulomas, and the development of tissue ischemia. Hyaluronidase is widely used in all branches of medicine, including the treatment of adhesions in the body, is used in in vitro fertilization, improves the absorption of drugs into the lesion in the treatment of cancer patients, and is also successfully used in the treatment of dermatological patients. In cosmetology, the use of enzyme helps to cope with such severe phenomena as tissue ischemia due to intravascular occlusion by the drug. And the use of ultrasound diagnostics makes it possible to correct adverse events using the enzyme strictly in the focus of the filler, thereby improving the quality of the treatment.
