Filler Dissolving

Filler Dissolving (Hyaluronidase)

If you're unhappy with previous dermal filler results or have developed lumps, migration, or overfilling, filler dissolvingis a safe and effective solution. Using Hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid-based fillers, we can correct or completely reverse prior filler treatments.
This treatment allows us to restore your natural features or prepare the area for future enhancements.
✨ Common Reasons for Filler Dissolving:
  • Filler migration or puffiness (especially around lips or under eyes)
  • Uneven or lumpy results
  • Overfilled appearance
  • Correction of poorly placed or low-quality fillers
  • Desire to return to a natural look

Pre-Treatment Instructions

  • Discontinue aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and alcohol 48 hours before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.
  • Inform us of any known allergies, especially to bee stings or animal proteins.
  • Do not wear makeup on the area to be treated.
  • Avoid facial procedures or dental work in the 2 weeks leading up to your appointment.

Post-Treatment Instructions

  • Swelling or mild bruising is common and temporary.
  • Apply a cold compress for short intervals within the first 24 hours if needed.
  • Avoid massaging the area unless advised by your provider.
  • Wait 1–2 weeks before receiving new filler or undergoing other facial treatments.
  • Notify us if you experience any unusual symptoms, allergic reactions, or concerns.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of filler can be dissolved?
A: Only hyaluronic acid-based fillers (like Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, etc.) can be dissolved. Fillers made of other materials (e.g., Radiesse, Sculptra) cannot be treated with Hyaluronidase.
Q: How quickly does it work?
A: Most clients notice softening within 24–48 hours, with full results in a few days as the filler breaks down and swelling resolves.
Q: Is it safe?
A: Yes. Hyaluronidase is FDA-approved and widely used in aesthetic medicine. A patch test may be performed if there’s a history of allergies.
Q: Does it hurt?
A: Discomfort is minimal. We use a topical anesthetic to ensure comfort during the procedure.
Q: Can I get new filler after dissolving?
A: Yes, but it’s recommended to wait at least 1–2 weeks before re-treating to allow the area to heal and fully clear any residual enzyme.
