At Clínica Áureo, we perform hyaluronidase treatments to correct, reduce, or dissolve hyaluronic acid deposits when they cause irregularities, excessive volume, migration, or aesthetic results that do not meet the patient's expectations.
At our clinic in Palma de Mallorca, we combine medical expertise with high-resolution diagnostic ultrasound when indicated, allowing us to accurately identify the location of the product and plan treatment more safely.
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme capable of breaking down hyaluronic acid and is widely used in aesthetic medicine to correct or reverse certain outcomes associated with dermal fillers.
Its application allows the partial or complete reduction of the product present in a specific area, depending on each patient's needs, the amount of hyaluronic acid previously injected, and the therapeutic objective established during the medical consultation.
Hyaluronidase treatment may be recommended in situations such as:
Excess volume
When the result is excessive or does not harmonize with the patient's facial proportions.
Hyaluronic acid migration
In some cases, hyaluronic acid can move from the area where it was originally injected and accumulate in adjacent tissues, creating an unnatural appearance.
This is particularly common in areas such as the lips, where patients may develop increased volume above the vermilion border, loss of definition, or changes in the original shape of the treated area.
Product accumulation or irregularities
The presence of small lumps, accumulations, or irregularities may affect the natural appearance of the aesthetic result.
Correction of previous treatments
Hyaluronidase can be used to modify or reverse dermal filler treatments previously performed when the patient desires a different outcome or wishes to completely rethink the treatment.
Filler-related complications
In some patients, the body may develop tissue capsules around the product or experience inflammatory reactions, asymmetries, changes in tissue texture, or other alterations related to previous treatments that may affect their appearance and behaviour over time.
When hyaluronic acid is identified as part of the problem, hyaluronidase may be incorporated into the treatment plan to help correct the situation.
The lips are one of the most common areas where patients seek treatment with hyaluronidase.
Over time, repeated treatments or certain injection techniques may contribute to the accumulation or migration of hyaluronic acid, altering the natural lip contour and creating an overly projected or poorly defined appearance.
The use of hyaluronidase allows selective reduction or removal of the existing product, helping to restore more harmonious proportions or, when desired, start almost from scratch while respecting each patient's natural anatomy and proportions.
One of the most common mistakes is assuming that any lump or irregularity appearing after an aesthetic treatment is exclusively caused by hyaluronic acid.
However, inflammatory processes, fibrosis, encapsulation, natural tissue changes, or even minimal amounts of remaining product may sometimes contribute to the observed alterations.
For this reason, a proper medical assessment and, when indicated, the use of high-resolution diagnostic ultrasound are essential before deciding on any treatment.
When clinically indicated, high-resolution diagnostic ultrasound provides additional information that helps us better understand what is happening in each case.
Ultrasound allows us to:
The information obtained through ultrasound helps support safer and more accurate clinical decision-making.
Hyaluronidase is a highly effective tool, but its use requires experience and careful medical planning tailored to each patient.
Not every patient needs to completely remove existing hyaluronic acid. In many cases, the objective is to reduce excess product, correct migration, or improve an irregularity while preserving part of the volume and structure that remains aesthetically beneficial.
For this reason, hyaluronidase treatment should be performed conservatively and precisely. Excessive correction may lead to a greater reduction in volume than desired and may temporarily affect the hyaluronic acid naturally present within the tissues.
Our philosophy is to treat only what needs to be corrected while preserving facial structure and harmony as much as possible.
During the consultation, the anatomy of the area, the desired correction, and the characteristics of the previously injected hyaluronic acid are carefully assessed.
When indicated, high-resolution ultrasound can help identify the exact location of the product and allow more precise treatment planning.
Hyaluronidase is administered through small injections into the area being treated. The response may vary depending on the type of hyaluronic acid, the amount present, the depth of injection, and the time elapsed since the original treatment.
In many cases, a single session is sufficient.
However, some patients may require additional sessions to achieve the desired result, particularly when large amounts of product, extensive migration, or treatments performed over different periods are involved.
It depends on the therapeutic objective. It can be used to partially reduce volume or to completely dissolve the product when indicated.
Discomfort is generally mild and short-lived.
Results often begin to appear within the first hours or days following treatment, although individual responses may vary.
Yes. Once the process is complete and the clinical outcome has been assessed, a new filler treatment can be planned if appropriate.
Not always. However, it can be particularly useful when there are uncertainties regarding product location, migration, or treatments performed previously at other clinics.
The correction of dermal fillers requires experience, medical judgement, and a thorough understanding of each individual case.
At Clínica Áureo, we approach these treatments with a conservative and precise philosophy, using high-resolution diagnostic ultrasound whenever necessary to fully understand what is happening and to design the most appropriate treatment strategy.
Our goal is to help you achieve a natural, harmonious result that aligns with your aesthetic expectations.
