Filler Dissolving
FILLER DISSOLVING
Safely Remove Unwanted or Overdone Filler with Precision and Care
While dermal fillers are a powerful tool for facial enhancement, sometimes results may not meet expectations—or changes over time may call for adjustment. Whether due to migration, lumps, asymmetry, or simply a change in aesthetic preference, our filler dissolving treatment offers a safe and effective solution.
At our clinic, we use hyaluronidase, an enzyme that quickly and precisely breaks down hyaluronic acid-based fillers, restoring your natural features or preparing the area for correction.
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
