Filler Dissolving (Hyaluronidase)
Safely reverse or adjust unwanted dermal filler results with expert filler dissolving treatments.
If you’re unhappy with the results of your dermal fillers or experiencing complications such as lumps, asymmetry, or overfilling, filler dissolving offers a quick and effective solution. Using a specialised enzyme called hyaluronidase, we can safely break down hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Juvederm to restore a natural appearance.
When Is Filler Dissolving Recommended?
- Correcting overfilled areas or asymmetry
- Treating lumps, bumps, or nodules
- Resolving complications such as swelling or vascular occlusion (urgent treatment)
- Adjusting results to achieve a more natural look
- Dissolving fillers before new treatments or surgery
How Filler Dissolving Works
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid fillers by enzymatically degrading the gel, allowing your body to absorb it naturally. The treatment is performed via small injections directly into the filler areas and works quickly, often showing improvement within hours to a few days.
Preparing for Your Filler Dissolving Treatment
- Avoid blood-thinning medications and alcohol 24–48 hours before
- Inform your practitioner about allergies, especially to bee venom or eggs (rare cross-reactivity)
- Disclose any medical conditions or previous adverse reactions
- Arrive with clean skin and no makeup on the treatment area
Aftercare & Recovery
- Mild redness, swelling, or bruising at injection sites is normal and temporary
- Avoid touching or massaging the area for 24 hours unless advised
- Results typically appear within hours but can take up to 1 week for full effect
- Follow up appointment may be needed for additional dissolving if necessary
- Contact your practitioner immediately if you experience severe pain, skin changes, or allergic reactions
Results & Follow-Up
- Partial or complete filler dissolution can be achieved depending on the amount and type of filler
- Many clients notice softening or reduction of filler within hours to days
- Multiple sessions may be required for full correction
- After dissolving, you can plan for new filler treatments if desired (usually after 2–4 weeks)
Safety & Side Effects
Performed by trained medical professionals, hyaluronidase injections are generally safe.
Possible side effects include:
- Temporary swelling, redness, or bruising
- Mild allergic reactions (rare)
- Over-correction (too much filler dissolved), which can be addressed with further treatments
