Filler Dissolving with Hyaluronidase

Sometimes, lip or facial filler doesn’t turn out the way you hoped. Maybe it migrated, feels uneven, or you simply want a fresh start. That’s where filler dissolving comes in—a safe, effective solution to remove or reshape unwanted hyaluronic acid (HA) filler.

What is Filler Dissolving?

Filler dissolving is a medical procedure that breaks down hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and holds water, which gives your skin volume and hydration. Hyaluronidase temporarily breaks down this HA, allowing your body to naturally absorb it.

How It Works

1. Assessment: During your consultation, we carefully evaluate your filler, the area, and your goals.
2. Treatment: Hyaluronidase is injected precisely into the areas with unwanted or migrated filler.
3. Breakdown: The enzyme begins breaking down the filler immediately. Most results are noticeable within 24–48 hours, with full results in up to 1–2 weeks.
4. Follow-Up: Some cases may require a second session for complete correction.

What Hyaluronidase Contains

Hyaluronidase is a purified enzyme, often mixed with saline to allow precise injection. It’s specifically formulated for dissolving HA-based fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, and similar products.

What to Expect During Treatment

• Quick Procedure: Most sessions take 10–30 minutes depending on the area treated.
• Mild Discomfort: Some redness, swelling, or slight stinging may occur at injection sites.
• Results: Visible improvement usually begins within a few hours, with complete correction over several days.
• Safety: Hyaluronidase is FDA-approved and widely used in aesthetic medicine. Allergic reactions are rare but will be screened for beforehand.

Who Can Benefit?

• Migrated Filler: Filler that has shifted from its original placement.
• Old Filler: Filler that has settled unevenly or looks unnatural.
• Unhappy Results: Clients dissatisfied with shape, volume, or symmetry.
