What is a Hyaluronidase Allergy Test?
The Hyaluronidase Allergy Test is a simple pre-treatment procedure used to check for potential allergic reactions to hyaluronidase before performing a filler dissolving treatment.
It's recommended for patients in Nicosia and across Cyprus to ensure maximum safety and minimize the risk of adverse reactions.
Why Is the Allergy Test Important?
Although hyaluronidase is generally safe, some individuals may have a sensitivity or allergic reaction. This test helps:
- Ensure patient safety
- Identify potential allergic reactions
- Prevent complications during treatment
- Provide peace of mind before the procedure
How It Works
A small amount of hyaluronidase is injected into the skin (usually on the forearm). The area is then observed for any signs of reaction, such as redness, swelling, or itching.
What to Expect
- Quick procedure (5–10 minutes)
- Minimal discomfort
- Small injection, similar to a skin test
