DISSOLVING FILLERS

What is Hylenex, and How Does it Work?

Hylenex is an injectable enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, such as those found in popular treatments like Juvéderm® and Restylane®. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps maintain hydration and volume, but when used in excess or in the wrong areas, it can lead to an unnatural or overfilled appearance. Hylenex safely and effectively reverses the effects of these fillers by breaking down the hyaluronic acid, allowing the body to reabsorb it naturally.

At Artemis 22, our skilled practitioners use Hylenex to selectively dissolve filler in targeted areas. Whether you're looking to correct overfilled lips, excessive volume in the cheeks, or uneven results from a previous filler treatment, Hylenex provides a refreshed and balanced look that is tailored to your facial structure. This ensures that you achieve the results you desire while maintaining harmony with your natural beauty.

What Can Hylenex Treat?

Hylenex can address a variety of aesthetic concerns related to overfilling or uneven results, including:

• Overdone lips: If lip fillers have resulted in an overly plump or unnatural look, Hylenex can dissolve the excess filler and restore a more subtle, natural lip shape.

• Excess volume in the cheeks or jawline: Overfilled cheeks or a disproportionate jawline can be corrected using Hylenex to reduce the volume and create a more balanced facial contour.

• Asymmetry in facial features: Uneven filler placement can lead to facial asymmetry. Hylenex can help correct these imbalances by dissolving the filler in specific areas.

• Lumps or bumps in the skin: Sometimes, fillers can create small lumps or irregularities in the skin. Hylenex can smooth out these imperfections, restoring a smoother and more even appearance.

• Overcorrection of fine lines or folds: If too much filler has been used to address fine lines or folds, Hylenex can reverse the excess and provide a more natural, understated result.

The Procedures

Experience the artistry of dermal filler treatments at Artemis 22, where science and aesthetics merge to create natural, beautiful outcomes. Here's what you can expect during your dermal filler treatment journey:

1. Consultation: Your journey begins with a detailed consultation. We take the time to listen to your concerns, assess your facial anatomy, and design a personalized plan that aligns with your aesthetic goals. This consultation helps ensure that we target the right areas and achieve the best possible results.

2. Injection Process: Hylenex is carefully injected into the areas where filler needs to be dissolved. Our skilled doctors use their expertise to ensure that the injections are placed accurately, providing both comfort and precision during the process.

3. Sculpting & Adjustment: As the filler dissolves, we may sculpt and adjust the treated areas to ensure the desired balance and symmetry are achieved. This step is essential in restoring and enhancing your natural beauty.

4. Immediate Results: Hylenex begins working right away, and you’ll notice changes within minutes. The full effects become visible over the next 24 to 48 hours as the filler continues to break down and the area settles.

Recovery from Filler Dissolving

Dissolving fillers is a minimally invasive procedure with a simple recovery process:

• Instant Change: You’ll notice an immediate improvement in the treated area as the filler begins to dissolve. Some mild swelling or redness may occur, but this typically resolves within a day or two.

• Minimal Downtime: Most clients can return to their daily activities shortly after treatment. While temporary side effects such as tenderness or slight bruising are normal, they usually subside quickly and do not interfere with your routine.

• Natural Results: The final outcome is a more balanced and natural appearance that aligns with your facial features. As the filler dissolves, your natural contours are restored, providing a look that feels more authentic to you.
