Filler dissolving is a safe, non-surgical treatment that uses hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. The body naturally flushes away the dissolved product, allowing you to correct or adjust previous treatments.
Why choose filler dissolving?
- Uneven or lumpy results
- Overfilled areas or filler migration
- Change in personal preference
- Medical concerns (e.g., vascular occlusion, swelling, or allergic reaction)
Why choose filler dissolving?
Hyaluronidase is injected into the area containing filler. It starts breaking down the hyaluronic acid immediately, with noticeable results often visible within 24–48 hours. In some cases, multiple sessions may be needed for complete correction.
Safety & Comfort
- Safe when performed by a trained medical professional
- Minor swelling, redness, or bruising may occur
- Most clients feel a brief stinging sensation; numbing cream or local anaesthetic can be applied
Impact on natural hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronidase can temporarily affect your body’s own hyaluronic acid, but natural levels replenish over days to weeks.
Can I have new filler immediately?
It is essential to wait at least 7 days before injecting new filler in the same area to ensure the enzyme has fully dissipated.
Appointment Duration
Typically 20–30 minutes, including consultation, preparation, and aftercare guidance.
Aftercare
- Avoid touching or massaging the area for 24 hours
- Avoid intense exercise, heat treatments, or alcohol for 24 hours
- Follow any personalised instructions from your practitioner
Results
Some clients notice improvements within hours, with full results usually visible after 48 hours, once swelling has settled.
