Why Dissolve Filler?

You may consider dissolving filler if you experience:

• Lumps, bumps, or irregularities
• Overfilled or unnatural appearance
• Asymmetry between treated areas
• Migration of filler beyond the intended site
• Change in personal aesthetic goals
• Previous filler performed elsewhere with unsatisfactory results

How It Works

The dissolving process involves injecting hyaluronidase, an enzyme that naturally breaks down hyaluronic acid, into the treated area. This works by dissolving the unwanted filler, allowing the body to metabolise and remove it naturally.

• Treatment time: 15–30 minutes
• Anaesthesia: A numbing cream may be applied to enhance comfort
• Onset of results: Begins working within hours, with visible reduction in 24–72 hours
• Number of sessions: Some cases require a second session, depending on the amount and depth of filler

A patch test may be performed beforehand to rule out any allergic reaction to the enzyme.

Longevity

Once dissolved, the filler does not return. Your face returns to its pre-filler state, or in some cases, partially if the product has already integrated with surrounding tissue.

Many patients choose to wait 1–2 weeks after dissolving before opting for re-treatment, allowing time for any swelling to settle and tissues to reset.

Aftercare Tips

To support healing and minimise side effects:

• Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for 24 hours
• Refrain from alcohol, exercise, or heat exposure (sauna, steam) for 24–48 hours
• You may experience temporary swelling, redness, or tenderness
• Use a cold compress gently if needed
• Follow any personalised advice provided by your practitioner
