Dermal Filler Dissolving

Dermal filler dissolving uses hyaluronidase to dissolve hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, offering both emergency and non-emergency solutions.

In non-emergency cases, it is commonly used to correct issues like overfilling, asymmetry, lumps, or migration of filler, helping patients achieve a more natural and balanced look.

In emergency situations, hyaluronidase plays a critical role in addressing serious complications such as vascular occlusion, where filler blocks a blood vessel, or severe allergic reactions, ensuring patient safety and minimizing long-term risks.

How does Dermal Filler Dissolving work?

Dermal filler dissolving uses hyaluronidase to break down hyaluronic acid, allowing your body to absorb and remove the filler naturally, with results typically visible within 24-48 hours. It can remain active for up to two weeks, so if you're planning to add more filler, it's important to wait until after the two-week mark.
