Hyaluronidase, priced
The short answer
Rewind charges filler dissolving by the treated area. The clinic's rate list gives the enzyme a single line with the area as its unit, and that list has no per-vial charge. Your bill is the per-area rate multiplied by the number of areas agreed at the examination, with VAT added at the end. The numbing used during the injection is already inside the rate, and the line stays the same whoever placed the filler, in Korea or abroad.
Source: Rewind's published rate list, which prices dissolving per area with VAT excluded. The figure itself is shown in the pricing section further down this page.
So the useful question is less about the rate and more about the count: how many areas, and how many visits. Two people holding identical quotations for one lip can end up with different totals if one of them needs that lip treated a second time. A third may be told at the examination that the firm spot they wanted removed is not hyaluronic acid, and leave with no enzyme line on the bill at all.
A second cost sits outside the dissolving line entirely, which is whatever goes back into the area later, if anything does. A refill is priced by the cc from the clinic's filler list and booked for a separate appointment. Keeping the two budgets apart makes the arithmetic easier to follow and keeps the decision to remove gel from being tangled up with the decision to replace it.
Reading the quotation
A dissolving quotation at Rewind is short, and every line on it answers a question you are entitled to ask before anything is injected. Having those answers in writing is what keeps the figure at the desk the same as the figure you agreed to.
One line you will not see is an enzyme charge for material the examination cannot establish as hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronidase does nothing to other filler materials, so injecting it into them would mean paying for an appointment that changes nothing.
From examination to figure
The rate itself is fixed. What moves your total is decided in the examination room, in four steps taken in the same order every time.
Your history, the dates of the original injections, any product card you kept and the feel of the area under the fingers are weighed together. Hyaluronidase acts only on hyaluronic acid. When the examination cannot confirm hyaluronic acid, the visit ends as an assessment and no dissolving line is written.
Dr. Jonghwan Choi marks each region he is prepared to treat and names the ones being left alone. The count on the quotation is the count you can see in the mirror, and this is the moment to ask how paired sites will be charged.
Hyaluronic acid products vary widely in cross-linking and gel structure, and published comparisons of these products, including a 2019 analysis of their rheology, show how far apart they sit. A firmer gel is generally reported to need more enzyme or a further session. A measured first dose takes longer overall and spares more of the hyaluronic acid your own tissue holds.
The area is seen again once swelling has settled and the shape has stopped changing. Only then does a second enzyme pass, or new filler, reach a quotation. Neither is sold in advance on the day of the first injection.

Why here
Most of what inflates a dissolving bill is avoidable: enzyme placed into material that will not respond, treatment of tissue that was never the problem, and a refill bought for a hollow that was only temporary.
Descent of the mid-face, fat, scar tissue and a collagen-stimulating product can all feel like leftover gel to the patient. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Choi works in these facial layers routinely, and part of the examination is telling you which of your concerns the enzyme can change and which it cannot.
You may arrive wanting several regions cleared and leave with a quotation for one or two. When a region may look acceptable once the problem area beside it has been corrected, it is held back for the review and costs nothing in the meantime.
One surgeon examines, injects and reviews. The reasoning behind each line on your quotation is therefore still in the room when a second pass or a refill is discussed, and nobody has to reconstruct it from notes.

Rewind sees patients by booking only: weekdays except Thursday from 10:00 to 19:00, Saturdays until 16:00, and never on Sundays. The clinic is on floors four and five of the Richro Building in Apgujeong, Gangnam. The dissolving rate covers the enzyme injected into each agreed area and the numbing used while it goes in. You can ask for the enzyme's packaging to be opened where you can read the label, and the request is treated as routine.
Bring whatever you still have about the original filler: dates, a product card, photographs from before it was placed. None of it changes the rate. It helps the doctor judge what is sitting in the area, which in turn makes the count of areas on your quotation more reliable.
Published rates
The first row is the only dissolving line on Rewind's list. The two rows under it are the clinic's hyaluronic acid rates per cc, shown here because a refill, if you choose one later, is priced from them and never from the enzyme line.
Worked through without figures, the arithmetic looks like this. One lip treated once is one area line. Both under-eyes are one line or two, depending on what the quotation records for paired sites. A chin that needs a second session adds the area line again only where the quotation says a further pass is charged. VAT is added to the total at the end.
List rates, VAT excluded. The numbing preparation is included in the rate. Multi-area plans, and the charge for any further pass, are confirmed at the consultation once the areas have been examined.
Worth the fee
A declined request ends the visit before any enzyme is paid for. Where the examination points to looseness of the skin after the gel is gone, the conversation moves to tightening, which is priced on its own pages.
After the visit
Paying for a second pass or a refill too early is the most avoidable expense after dissolving. The stages below are there to stop that happening.
Expected effects are swelling, bruising, redness and tenderness at the injection points. Hypersensitivity to hyaluronidase is the reaction specific to this enzyme, ranging from local itching and swelling to rare allergic reactions affecting the whole body. The enzyme can take away more volume than planned, which may leave the two sides uneven or a hollow that lasts until native tissue recovers. Infection is uncommon. Report spreading swelling, hives, breathing difficulty or any change in vision to the clinic or to emergency services at once.
At Rewind, one board-certified plastic surgeon carries every case — from the first consultation to the final follow-up. Because a face is a story, and a story deserves a single author.

Scientific evidence
Two of these papers compare the physical properties of hyaluronic acid filler products, which helps explain why one gel clears more readily than another under the same enzyme. The other two describe how cross-linked hyaluronic acid is broken down in tissue and how hyaluronidase has been used in aesthetic practice. None was produced at Rewind Plastic Surgery or paid for by it, and none can tell you how many passes your own area will need.
