What should I do if my hyaluronic acid injections don't work as expected? Can Hyaluronic Acid Failure be Reversed by Enzyme Degradation, the "Antidote to Hyaluronic Acid"? What are the symptoms of hyaluronic acid failure? This article will tell you the common brands of Hyaluronic Acid, the symptoms of Hyaluronic Acid injection failure, and bring you to understand the functioning principle of degradative enzymes, the time to use, and Hyaluronic Acid and degradative enzymes QA Lazybones Kit.
Principles and Functions of Degradative Enzymes
Hyaluronidase is extracted from the cell tissues of animals such as cows and goats, and is a hydrolyzed enzyme produced after fermentation. It can be used to increase the absorption of drugs into tissues, reduce the tissue damage caused by extravasation of drugs, as well as hydrolyze hyaluronic acid, dissolve hyaluronic acid, and improve the hardness and unevenness produced by hyaluronic acid after surgery, so it has been known as the "antidote for hyaluronic acid". In addition, because the degradation enzyme is a special biological preparation, it was not legalized in Taiwan at the early stage, but after years of negotiation between the medical industry and the Ministry of Health and Welfare, it officially obtained the legal status in 2015.

- Principles of action:
Hyaluronic acid has a filling and shaping effect because of the "cross-linker" ingredient added to the product. The cross-linker ingredient is able to reconnect the loose structure of hyaluronic acid in the body to form a compact gel.
The degrading enzyme is to reduce the stability and maintenance of hyaluronic acid by destroying the structure of the cross-linker, so that the hyaluronic acid will return to a loose and easily decomposed molecule, thus solving the problem of hyaluronic acid not being as good as expected after the surgery.
- Time to use:
It is used to deal with hyaluronic acid if it is injected too much/too shallowly, asymmetry, unevenness, lumps that have not disappeared for a long time, etc., or if you are not satisfied with the effect of hyaluronic acid and don't want to wait for the metabolism, you can also apply degrading enzyme to improve the situation; in addition, if it is a more serious complication, for example, if the injection of hyaluronic acid accidentally presses on the blood vessels, resulting in vascular thrombosis, you have to apply degrading enzyme in a timely manner to dissolve the hyaluronic acid, in order to prevent more serious sequelae. More serious complications
Hyaluronic Acid & Degradative Enzymes FAQ QA at a Glance
Q1: How much hyaluronic acid should be applied at one time?
A1: The dosage varies depending on the area of application and the degree of indentation. Usually, 1-2cc will be applied to one area, but the actual amount needs to be evaluated by the doctor before confirmation.
Q2、How long can the effect of hyaluronic acid last?
A2: There are many brands of hyaluronic acid, the molecular size and dosage are different, basically the maintenance time is about 6-12 months, but it will be affected by the metabolic status of each person, post-surgery maintenance, and different living habits.
Q3、What is the difference between Hyaluronic Acid Gel and Hyaluronic Acid Granules?
A3: Gel-type hyaluronic acid will be ground into a smooth gel during the production, which has higher water absorption, easy to shape and easy to combine, and has a more natural touch after injection; granule-type hyaluronic acid will be made into uniform granules and mixed with some hyaluronic acid liquid, which has a strong hardness and support, and has a different support according to the size of the granules, but the overall touch may be more unnatural. However, the overall touch may be more unnatural.
Q4: Who is not suitable for hyaluronic acid?
A4: Hyaluronic acid is not suitable for women with autoimmune diseases, blood clotting disorders/anti-coagulants, crabs' feet, cancer patients/history of cancer, pregnant/nursing women.
Q5、How long does it take to get the effect of Hyaluronic Acid Degradation Enzyme? How many injections will it take to dissolve hyaluronic acid?
A5: Degradative enzymes work very fast, the effect can be seen in about 10-30 minutes after injection, the degradation will be completed in about 24-48 hours, and will be absorbed and metabolized by the human body within one week, and can be reviewed at the clinic in 1-2 weeks after injection. The number of injections varies depending on the individual's physical condition, the location of the injection site, etc. Most people can achieve a good degradation effect after 1-2 injections.
Q6、Does Degrading Enzyme have any side effects? Is it safe?
A6: Degrading enzyme is extracted from animal tissues, so the most common side effects are localized redness, itchiness, rashes, and other temporary phenomena caused by personal allergy to proteins. However, the incidence of adverse reactions to local injection of degradative enzymes is extremely low and as long as the dosage is properly controlled, it is basically very safe.
Q7: Will the degrading enzyme damage the body's own hyaluronic acid or tissue?
A7: Degrading enzyme is used to destroy the cross-linking agent in hyaluronic acid products, so it will only play a role in the synthetic hyaluronic acid, and has little effect on the body's own skin structure, so there is no need to worry that the injection of degrading enzyme will damage your own hyaluronic acid and collagen. In addition, if professional doctors have the skills to precisely control the injection dose and injection location, they can avoid excessive and unnecessary damage.
Q8: Can degrading enzymes dissolve microdermabrasion products other than hyaluronic acid?
A8: Degradative enzymes can only dissolve hyaluronic acid. Other microdermabrasion products, such as Peter Peter's and Soothing Essence, can not be restored with degradative enzymes, and they can only wait for time to metabolize so that they will disappear or slow down on their own.
