Abstract Introduction: Enzyme treatment represents a minimally invasive aesthetic alternative to improve facial appearance and decrease expression lines. Objective: To determine the use of the enzymes hyaluronidase, collagenase and lipase as a dermatological enzyme treatment as a regenerative treatment for expression lines. Methods: A prospective field study was conducted of a population made up of 457 patients who attended the UNIMEL dermatological consultation between 2013 and 2018 to be treated with enzymes. The data collection instrument was the record sheet and the documentary source was the medical records. The statistical method was descriptive, the information is presented in tables and graphs. Results: the average age was 45.2 ± 10.1 years of age, to whom a majority of 40.9% were applied 2 kits of enzymes with the 3 basic components of collagenase, hyaluronidases and upases to act synergistically each other enhancing functions and revitalizing the cells of the face. A significant difference was found in the care ratio between men and women, 1:14, that is, the women attended the consultation more requesting the placement of this treatment. Conclusión: The use of enzymes provides great benefits to increase skin permeability, increases lymphatic drainage, reduces fibrous septa of cellulite, sagging and fat, increases blood flow and rejuvenates the general appearance. So, it is proposed as an effective treatment to reduce expression lines
