What are Dissolving fillers

What are dissolving fillers?

Dermal fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. When injected, this enzyme reduces lumps, bumps, puffiness, and filler migration, or removes the dermal filler altogether.

The filler breaks down and disappears within minutes. However, the final results of the treatment are usually apparent after 24 hours, once any swelling has gone down. If you are unhappy with your current filler, or if you have developed lumps or nodules, the treatment can be completely reversed.

Reasons to dissolve dermal filler

If you are unhappy with your dermal filler, dissolving it is a quick and effective solution. Common reasons for this treatment include:

Over-filled areas (hypercorrection)
Migrated filler (gel that has moved to surrounding areas)
Lumps, bumps, or nodules
Asymmetrical results
Allergic reactions or infections
Routine clearing (it is good practice to remove 2–3 year old filler remains before receiving new treatment)

What are the benefits of Dissolving fillers

Aesthetic Benefits

Instant mistake correction — The enzyme breaks down hyaluronic acid within minutes, instantly reversing undesirable outcomes.
Symmetry restoration — The procedure allows the practitioner to remove excess gel precisely where needed to balance facial proportions.
Elimination of filler migration — Restores sharp contours (e.g., eliminating the "filler mustache" above the lips when the gel has migrated).
Smoother skin texture — Completely eliminates visible lumps, bumps, and nodules.

Health & Safety Benefits

High safety profile — Hyaluronidase is an enzyme naturally found in the body and is fully cleared once its job is done.
Rapid complication management — Promptly resolves severe swelling, allergic reactions, or infections caused by the filler.
Ischemia prevention — Emergency enzyme administration protects the tissue if a filler accidentally compresses or blocks a blood vessel.

Practical Benefits

A clean slate for new treatments — Removing 2–3 year old degraded, shifted, or remaining filler allows the aesthetician to perform flawless new modeling after 7 days.
Minimal downtime — Swelling and redness typically clear within 6–48 hours, requiring no downtime or isolation.
Controlled results — An experienced doctor can dissolve the filler completely or partially to achieve the exact desired volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who cannot have this treatment?

You cannot undergo this treatment if you have or are experiencing any of the following: Allergies to bee or wasp stings Pregnancy or breastfeeding History of severe allergy or anaphylactic shock Autoimmune diseases or immunosuppression (due to health conditions or medication) Age under 18 Local inflammation or infection in the treatment areaHistory of keloid scars Recent surgery, breaks, or trauma to the area (please check with the clinic prior to booking) Note for professional athletes: Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers contain active ingredients that may yield a positive result in drug/doping tests.

What to do before my treatment?

Avoid alcohol for 24–48 hours before your appointment to minimize bruising. Stop taking blood thinners like aspirin or ibuprofen a few days prior (consult your doctor first). Share your medical history and notify the practitioner of any known allergies during your consultation.

How will I look after my treatment?

Initial swelling and redness are normal and will peak within the first few hours. Minor bruising may occur at the injection sites. Flatness will replace the volume as the filler dissolves almost instantly.

What is the aftercare? (What to do/not do after my treatment)

Do not touch or rub the treated area for at least 6 hours to prevent infection. Apply a cold compress gently to reduce swelling. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and steam rooms for 48 hours. Stay hydrated to help your body naturally clear the broken-down filler.

When should I see results?

The breakdown happens in minutes, but initial swelling can mask the look. Final results will be clearly visible after 24 hours.

When can I get my dermal filler re-done?

You must wait a minimum of 7 days before injecting new filler into the same area. This ensures the hyaluronidase is fully inactive and won't dissolve your new treatment.
