Filler Dissolve
If you’re dissatisfied with the results of a dermal filler treatment or wish to return to a more natural appearance, all hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT FILLER DISSOLVE
Filler dissolving is a quick, non-invasive treatment designed to dissolve hyaluronic acid-based fillers using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This enzyme naturally breaks down the filler material, allowing your body to metabolise it. Filler dissolving offers significant benefits for those who wish to adjust:
- Correct Unwanted Results: Perfect for reducing areas that may feel overfilled or adjusting results that didn’t align with your vision.
- Achieve a Balanced Look: Ideal for restoring symmetry and facial balance by refining filler volume and placement.
- Immediate & Lasting: Noticeable improvement within 24-48 hours, with a full restoration of your natural contours over a few days.
The treatment begins with a consultation to understand your aesthetic goals and evaluate the areas you want to adjust. Once a treatment plan is in place, our specialists will inject hyaluronidase precisely where needed, allowing it to work on breaking down the hyaluronic acid filler. Results are generally noticeable within 24-48 hours as the filler material is metabolised and naturally removed by the body. This process is carefully monitored to ensure even, consistent results with minimal discomfort.
Filler dissolving is ideal if you:
- Want to Reduce Overfilled Areas: If past treatments have resulted in too much volume, filler dissolving allows for a return to natural contours.
- Need Correction for Symmetry: Dissolving filler can address uneven areas, giving a more harmonious look.
- Desire to Redefine Your Features: Dissolving old fillers lets you explore new aesthetic possibilities for a fresh start or a new treatment plan.
- In the case of an emergency
Dissolving dermal fillers is a quick and effective solution if you’re unsatisfied with the results of a previous filler treatment. Here are common reasons why you may consider filler dissolving:
- Overfilled Appearance: Dissolving allows for a more natural contour if the treated area appears overdone.
- Filler Migration: When filler shifts or moves beyond the intended area, dissolving can restore balance.
- Lumps or Bumps: Sometimes, fillers can form small, uneven areas that are best smoothed out by removal.
- Asymmetry: Dissolving can address uneven results, ensuring a more harmonious look.
- Allergic Reaction or Infection: In rare cases of reaction or infection, dissolving is a safe corrective measure.
- Routine Filler Refresh: Often, it’s good practice to dissolve remnants of older fillers and replace them every 2-3 years for optimal results.
- Medical Emergency: if filler is inadvertly injected into a blood vessel it can cause long term harm and loss of tissue so immediate removal is necessary
Filler dissolving may not be suitable for individuals with allergies to hyaluronidase or those with certain medical conditions. A thorough consultation with our specialist will assess your suitability and ensure the safest approach.
Side effects are typically mild and may include temporary swelling, redness, or slight bruising at the injection site. These effects generally resolve within a few days. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to support smooth healing.

Yes, filler dissolving can effectively remove unwanted lip fillers. This is a standard option for clients seeking to adjust or refine their lip volume and shape.
After the filler dissolves, it’s generally recommended to wait at least two weeks before applying the new filler. This allows the area to settle and reduces the risk of complications with re-treatment.
Aftercare is simple: avoid touching or massaging the area for the first 24 hours, and avoid intense exercise and excessive heat for a few days. Any mild swelling can be managed with cool compresses, as your practitioner recommends.
Results typically appear within 24-48 hours as the filler begins to break down and the body absorbs it.
