Hyaluronidase (Filler Dissolver)
Street names: Hyalase, Vitrase, Hylenex, Filler eraser
Overdose? Act now. Call emergency services — say "unresponsive, not breathing". Give naloxone for opioid-like signs. Hotlines
⚡What it does
- Dissolves hyaluronic-acid filler within hours — the 'undo button' for HA fillers
- Spreads injected drugs (historical medical use)
⚠Key risks
- Allergic reactions including anaphylaxis — must be available at any filler appointment
- Over-dissolution: removes your OWN hyaluronic acid — temporary hollowing/deflation
- Does NOT work on biostimulators (Sculptra) or silicone — irreversible fillers have no undo
- Black-market injectors don't stock it — occlusion without hyaluronidase = necrosis/blindness
✚Overdose signs
- Allergic reaction: hives, swelling, difficulty breathing
- Excessive tissue dissolution

| Substance | Class | Top risks | Street price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hyaluronidase (Filler Dissolver) | Rx-only enzyme | Allergic reactions including anaphylaxis — must be available at any filler appointment; Over-dissolution: removes your OWN hyaluronic acid — temporary hollowing/deflation | $50–$150 per vial |
| Dermal Fillers (HA & Biostimulators) | Rx-only devices | VASCULAR OCCLUSION — the big one: filler injected into an artery blocks blood flow → skin necrosis (black dying skin) or BLINDNESS (filler migrating to eye artery; ~300+ documented cases); Unlicensed injector + no hyaluronidase on hand = occlusion becomes catastrophe | Legit: $500–$2,000 per syringe |
| Botulinum Toxin (Botox) | Rx-only biologic | BLACK-MARKET BOTOX: counterfeit vials, overdosed units, and fake 'Botox parties' cause drooping, asymmetry, swallowing/breathing difficulty; Injection into wrong muscle: eyelid ptosis (drooping eye), uneven smile — lasts weeks-months | Legit: $10–$15 per unit |
