Hyaluronidase Getting into Blood

  Hi and thank you for your question! In theory, whenever we inject something into the body, it is possible to get some of it into blood stream but it is very rare and quite easy to avoid by pulling the plunger a bit right before pushing it to do the injection and other techniques that your physicians employ. I hope it helps and good luck!
