Hyaluronidase treatment
Your specialists for hyaluronidase treatment
Hyaluronic acid injections are among the most popular methods of wrinkle treatment in aesthetic medicine. However, complications or dissatisfaction with the results can sometimes occur, whether due to unwanted excess volume, asymmetrical results, or small nodules. In such cases, hyaluronidase offers a precise and effective solution for completely breaking down the hyaluronic acid that has been injected.
In this method, also known as Hylase treatment, the enzyme hyaluronidase is used specifically to gently dissolve excess or incorrectly placed hyaluronic acid. The treatment is safe, quick, and restores your skin to its original condition or allows for a new injection of hyaluronic acid after a short time.
At clinic utoquai in Zurich, we place particular emphasis on providing sensitive advice and ensuring the highest level of precision in order to achieve the best possible and most natural results. The treatment should only be carried out by trained personnel, as otherwise there is an increased risk of unsatisfactory results. Our experienced specialists will guide you through the entire process—for your satisfaction and safety.

Hyaluronidase treatment procedure
Consultation
Before treatment, we will conduct a detailed consultation to find out your individual wishes and goals. We will examine the area previously treated with hyaluronic acid and discuss the expected results of the Hylase treatment.
Precautions
For people with a strong tendency to allergies, a patch test will be performed after the consultation. In this test, a minimal amount of the enzyme is injected into the arm to ensure that no allergic reaction occurs.
Treatment
The treatment is performed on an outpatient basis and takes about 15 minutes. Anesthesia is not usually necessary; however, we can apply an anesthetic cream beforehand if desired. The hyaluronidase is injected precisely into the affected area with a fine needle, where the unwanted hyaluronic acid was previously introduced. The enzyme breaks down the foreign substance and effectively degrades it within 1–2 days.
Aftercare
After treatment, redness and swelling may occur briefly at the injection sites. However, these side effects subside within a short time as soon as the product takes effect. We recommend that you do not apply any makeup to the treated area on the day of treatment. If you are planning to have another hyaluronic acid injection, please wait at least 2 weeks.
Costs of hyaluronidase treatment in Zurich
The costs vary depending on the amount of product required and are determined on an individual basis. Prices generally start at CHF 500. We will discuss the exact cost of the treatment during a consultation appointment. As this procedure is purely cosmetic, health insurance companies do not usually cover the costs.
