Description

Liporase is an injectable enzyme that is used to dissolve hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. HA fillers, such as Restylane and Juvederm, are commonly used to add volume to the lips, cheeks, and other areas of the face. However, sometimes patients may be dissatisfied with the results or experience complications from the filler.

Liporase is used to dissolve the HA filler by breaking down the hyaluronic acid molecules. The enzyme is injected directly into the area with the filler, and the process can take several minutes to several hours, depending on the amount of filler that needs to be dissolved.

Liporase is also used to treat complications from HA fillers, such as overfilling, uneven results, or lumps and bumps in the treated area. It can also be used in emergency situations, such as when a blood vessel becomes blocked by the filler.

It is important to note that Liporase should only be administered by a qualified and experienced medical professional. The treatment should not be used on other types of fillers, such as those made from collagen or PMMA. Additionally, while Liporase can help dissolve HA fillers, it may not completely remove all of the filler material, and additional treatments may be necessary. It is important to discuss any concerns or questions with your healthcare provider before undergoing the treatment.
