SkinViva aesthetics trainer Dr Sharan has given a step by step guide, detailing how to prepare for a planned dermal filler reversal procedure using Hyalase.
What you will need:
- Bacteria Static Saline
- Hyalase Vial 1500 international units
- 5ml Syringe
*Please note: this guide offers instruction for preparing for a planned dermal filler reversal rather than an emergency necrosis situation where dilutions would be different.
Process:
- Take cap off Saline
- Sterilise the top with a wipe
- Take 5 ml syringe
- Draw 3 lots of 5 ml saline out of the bottle and discard in the sink to leave exactly 15 ml of saline in the bottle.
- Break open Hyalase by applying pressure to the red dot on the vial.
- Withdraw 1ml Saline from bottle and add to Hyalase
- Make sure powder is dissolved before drawing up solution and adding back to the saline bottle.
- You should now have 1500 international units of Hyalase to 15ml of bacteria static saline.
- Draw out an equal amount of solution to the amount of product that you want to dissolve i.e. 1 ml solution for 1ml filler etc…
- Make sure you do a test injection on the forearm of the client to ensure that they aren’t allergic, a small bleb is enough. If there is no immediate reaction within a couple of minutes you are safe to go ahead with the Hyalase procedure.
Important:
- Hyalase will continue to dissolve filler in the area for up to two weeks so it is important not to repeat the dermal filler treatment before this point.
- When performing the reversal, only inject Hyalase into the areas that you want to reverse.
- Once injected, the Hyalase may initially reduce some of the skins natural collagen, however, this will re-generate within a couple of days.
