What is filler dissolving?

Dermal filler dissolving is a process used to remove unwanted or excessive hyaluronic acid-based fillers. This is typically done using an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which breaks down the filler material, allowing the body to naturally absorb and eliminate it.

Procedure:

1. • A trained practitioner injects hyaluronidase into the area where the filler is located.

   • The enzyme works by breaking the chemical bonds in the hyaluronic acid, effectively dissolving the filler.

   • The process is quick, often taking just a few minutes.

Results:

1. • Effects are usually noticeable within 24 to 48 hours, though complete dissolution may take up to 2 weeks, depending on the amount of filler and individual factors.

Reasons for Dissolving:

1. • Dissatisfaction with the cosmetic results.

   • Overfilled or uneven appearance.

   • Medical complications, such as lumps or vascular occlusion.

Suitability 

• Unsuitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
