    GlossaryHyaluronidase

    enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid in tissues

    Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid, a substance that helps maintain the structural integrity of tissues by retaining water and providing lubrication. This enzyme is often used in medical and cosmetic procedures to enhance the absorption and dispersion of injected fluids, such as in the treatment of certain types of edema or to dissolve hyaluronic acid-based fillers.
