decision-making aids

Essentially, these are fundamental decisionsthat make up a Hylase injection treatment.

Should I have a Hylase injection do it at all? – Sometimes it is the better decision not to do something.

If there is an appropriate indication, the risk of Hylase treatment is very easy to calculate – therefore, there is usually nothing to speak against treatment

Softening:

Hylase softens hard scar tissue. This works especially well with repetition – usually.

But more is not necessarily better – if the tissue becomes too soft, the scar can spread and become wider and sink in.

repetitions/combinations

When treating scars, it is often advisable to "approach" the amounts gradually. This is also the case with Hylase. Repetitions can help to maximize the effect.

And very often different methods are combined and used in a constructive manner to achieve a harmonious overall effect.

Attempt

Treatment with Hylase is always worth a try – even before a possible improvement of the scar by cutting it out.

painful?

Hylase can be easily combined with local anesthesia, thus limiting the pain during treatment

What should you have heard/read before scar treatment with Hylase?

Hylase softens hard scar tissue – but the scar should not become too soft, otherwise the scar could split or sink
