Frequently Asked Questions
This page provides answers to questions frequently asked by our customers.
What is lyase?
-It is a proteolytic enzyme that decreases viscosity in extracellular matrix reducing edema and improving diffusion of collagenase and lipase and this is the reason they act in synergy.
What is the reason to combine enzymes and HMWHA in LMH?
-Non-crossed-linked high molecular weight hyaluronic acid is proven to reduce fibrosis markers in inflammatory events.
Is it possible to use another product to reconstitute the enzymatic mixture?
-The kit included in the LMH presentation is composed of lyophilized enzymes, HA and Reconstitution buffer which is specifically designed to promote enzymatic action at the designed tissue.
Is HA for all the indications or is there any of them where it is not recommended?
PBSerum Medical line has three presentations developed for specific indications with proven efficacy, clinical evidence and treatment schemes provided by PBSerum:
-Low: Face profiling
-Medium: Double chin, Localized fat
-High: Scars and post-surgical fibrosis
Can sessions be spaced for 1 month instead of 15 days recommended by PBSerum Medical protocols?
-Even if results can be observed 15 days after the treatment, doctors’ criteria to assess patients can imply certain modifications in protocols to be able to adapt to patients and indications.
