what is Liporase?

Liporase is a medical product containing hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid—a substance commonly used in dermal fillers. It’s primarily used to dissolve unwanted or incorrectly placed hyaluronic acid fillers in aesthetic treatments.

What are Key Features:

Composition: Each vial contains 1,500 units of hyaluronidase in a white, freeze-dried powder form. Before use, it’s reconstituted with approximately 3ml of normal saline.
Packaging: Available in boxes containing 10 vials.
Primary Uses:
- Correcting overfilled or uneven areas resulting from hyaluronic acid filler injections.
- Addressing complications like vascular occlusion, where filler inadvertently enters a blood vessel.
- Enhancing the effects of fat-dissolving treatments by improving tissue permeability.

Storage Guidelines:

Unopened Vials: Store in a refrigerator at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C. Do not freeze.
Reconstituted Solution: If mixed with saline, the solution can be stored at temperatures below 30°C for up to two weeks. Discard if the solution becomes discolored or shows precipitation.

Potential Side Effects:

Common side effects may include mild pain, redness, itching, or swelling at the injection site. In rare cases, allergic reactions can occur, presenting as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or rapid heartbeat. Immediate medical attention is advised if severe reactions are observed.

Precautions:

Not recommended for individuals with known allergies to hyaluronidase or its components.
Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding should be under medical supervision, as specific studies are lacking.
Liporase is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals experienced in aesthetic procedures.

Liporase offers a reliable solution for managing and correcting issues related to hyaluronic acid fillers, ensuring patient safety and satisfaction in aesthetic treatments.
