Is Juvederm Ultra XC Reversible?
Lip fillers like Juvederm Ultra XC, Restylane Kysse, and Restylane in Newport Beach are made of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a compound made of sugar molecules.
It can be quickly reversed by using a reversal agent called hyaluronidase. Some brand names for this agent are Hylenex and Vitrase. Hyaluronidase is an injectable enzyme that breaks down the HA that gives filler its structure and consistency.
Hyaluronic acid filler molecules are held together by cross-linking. While many fillers are hyaluronic acid based, there are a variety of fillers with individual properties. Some HA fillers have more HA molecules which makes them last longer, and others have fewer.
Fewer molecules in the filler result in faster dissolving. Additionally, some HA fillers are more rigid like Jello and others have more of a honey-like consistency. Regardless of the amount of crosslinking and or consistency, hyaluronidase is a reversible agent that once injected breaks down the HA bonds instantly and continues to break them down for a period of over 72 hours.
Depending on the age of the filler, the amount of filler and other factors the dissolving treatment may only need one session of the reversal agent or as many as two or three sessions to fully dissolve.
Filler dissolving is a great option for those experiencing filler migration and/or have years of filler and want to start fresh.
