Dermal Filler Dissolving
WHAT ARE DISSOLVING?
Dermal Filler Dissolving
Dissolving dermal fillers is a procedure used to remove or reduce the effects of previously injected fillers, particularly if the results are unsatisfactory, uneven, or if complications arise. This process typically involves the injection of an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which specifically breaks down hyaluronic acid-based fillers.
Hyaluronidase works by accelerating the natural degradation of the filler, allowing it to be absorbed by the body more quickly. The effects of the enzyme are usually noticeable within a few hours to a few days, depending on the amount of filler and the area treated.
Dissolving fillers is a safe and effective option for those who wish to reverse the effects of their treatment, correct asymmetry, or address any complications such as lumps or overfilling. It’s important to consult with a qualified practitioner to ensure the procedure is performed correctly and to discuss the desired outcome before proceeding with the treatment.
Dissolving dermal fillers with hyaluronidase is generally a safe procedure, but like any treatment, it comes with potential risks and side effects.
Treatment Risks and Considerations
Dermal Filler Dissolving
● Allergic reactions: Although rare, some individuals may have an allergic reaction to hyaluronidase. It’s important to inform your practitioner of any known allergies before treatment.
● Swelling and bruising: Mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites is common but usually subsides within a few days.
● Infection: As with any injectable treatment, there is a small risk of infection at the injection site. This can be minimized by following aftercare instructions and ensuring that a sterile technique is used during the procedure.
● Over-dissolving: In some cases, too much filler may be dissolved, resulting in volume loss. This can be corrected with a follow-up treatment of dermal fillers if needed.

FAQ for Dissolving
We regularly get asked about our procedures, so we have put together questions we get asked on a regular basis. If there is something else you would like to know, please get in touch!
Is the dissolving procedure painful?
Numbing cream is applied to minimise discomfort during the procedure. Some clients may experience a stinging or burning sensation when the hyaluronidase is injected, but this is usually mild and temporary.
How long does it take for the filler to dissolve?
The filler breaks down over the course from a few hours to up to 2 weeks. In some cases, multiple sessions may be required, depending on the amount and type of filler used.
Can all types of dermal fillers be dissolved?
No, only hyaluronic acid-based fillers can be dissolved using hyaluronidase. Other types of fillers, such as permanent or semi-permanent fillers, cannot be dissolved and would require a different approach for removal.
What should I expect after the dissolving procedure?
After the procedure, you may experience some swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days. Results will become visible as the filler breaks down, and your skin will return to its natural state over the following days.
What should I do if I experience complications after filler dissolving?
If you experience unusual pain, signs of infection (such as redness, swelling, or discharge), or any allergic reactions after the procedure, contact your practitioner immediately for further assessment and care.
