Hyaluronidase in Lisbon
Cosmo Clinic Team
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that dissolves hyaluronic acid filler. In aesthetic medicine it is used to fully or partially reverse a filler treatment — whether because of overfilling, asymmetry, product migration, or simply a result you are not happy with.
At Cosmo Clinic in Lisbon, hyaluronidase is administered by licensed doctors after assessing the treated area and the filler history — including treatments performed at other clinics. The enzyme starts working within hours, and the final result is reviewed about two weeks later.
Your first consultation at Cosmo Clinic is free. Speak with one of our English-speaking doctors about your options before deciding on treatment.

FAQ
What is hyaluronidase?
It is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid — the material used in most facial fillers. Injected into the treated area, it dissolves the filler in a controlled way, allowing a result to be corrected or reversed.
When is hyaluronidase used?
When a filler result is not what you wanted: overfilling, asymmetry, lumps, product migration, or simply a change of mind. Doctors also use it in clinical situations that require dissolving the product.
Is the injection painful?
Discomfort is mild and brief. A topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand. Most patients describe it as a small pinch, similar to the original filler treatment.
How quickly does it work?
The enzyme starts working within hours, with most of the dissolving happening in the first 48 hours. The final result is reviewed about two weeks later; a second session is sometimes needed.
Does it dissolve any type of filler?
No. It works only on hyaluronic acid fillers. Collagen biostimulators and other products are not dissolved by this enzyme. Your doctor confirms the product type at the consultation before proposing treatment.
Can I get new filler after dissolving?
Yes. After dissolving, we recommend waiting about two weeks before placing new filler, so the tissue settles and the result can be properly assessed.
Can you dissolve filler done at another clinic?
Yes. Most hyaluronidase requests concern filler placed elsewhere. The doctor assesses the area, the product type, and the treatment history before defining a dissolving plan.
Is hyaluronidase safe?
It is an established treatment in aesthetic medicine, performed at Cosmo Clinic by licensed doctors after a prior assessment. As with any injectable, temporary swelling or bruising can occur; allergic reactions are rare, and a medical assessment including your allergy history is always required.
