Hyaluronidase

Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in our connective tissues, including skin and joints. Its primary function is to increase tissue permeability by reducing the viscosity of hyaluronic acid. Medical professionals sometimes use hyaluronidase to help disperse certain injected medications more evenly, improve absorption, or reduce swelling and fluid buildup. It’s also used in some aesthetic procedures to correct excess filler or unintended results. Overall, hyaluronidase helps modify tissue structure and fluid dynamics, making it valuable in both medical and cosmetic contexts.
