DISSOLVE (FILLER DISSOLVING TREATMENT)
DISSOLVE (FILLER DISSOLVING TREATMENT)
Dissolving fillers is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove or adjust dermal fillers that have either been placed incorrectly, resulted in undesired outcomes, or need to be dissolved due to complications. This treatment typically uses an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which effectively breaks down hyaluronic acid-based fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, or Belotero. Dissolving fillers allows patients to return to their natural appearance or make room for a new filler application. The procedure is quick, safe, and highly effective for addressing filler concerns.

- Customizable: You can choose to fully or partially dissolve the filler depending on your desired outcome.
- Improves Comfort: Helps address issues like discomfort or uneven texture caused by misplaced or excess filler.
- Minimal Downtime: The procedure is quick and requires little to no recovery time.
What To Expect During The Procedure
A dissolving filler treatment usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes. It starts with a consultation to discuss the areas where the filler needs to be dissolved. Your provider will cleanse the treatment area, and a small amount of hyaluronidase will be injected directly into the areas where the filler is present. The enzyme works quickly to break down the hyaluronic acid. You might feel a slight stinging sensation during the injection, but discomfort is generally minimal. Results begin to show within a few hours, and the full effect is visible within 24 to 48 hours.
How Long Does It Last?
Within a day or two, you will see the filler dissolve, allowing your natural facial contours to return. The treatment is highly effective in addressing concerns like overfilling, uneven texture, or migration of the filler. The results of a dissolving filler treatment are permanent for the fillers that are removed. Once the filler is dissolved, it cannot return. However, if you wish to add new fillers or adjust the appearance after dissolving, you can undergo a new filler application after about two weeks, allowing time for the area to settle.
Dissolving fillers provides patients with the peace of mind that they can safely and quickly reverse or adjust their filler results, ensuring they feel confident and satisfied with their appearance.
What To Do Before The Treatment
- Avoid Blood-Thinning Medications: Stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood-thinning medications at least 48 hours before the procedure to reduce the risk of bruising.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your treatment to ensure optimal skin hydration.
- Consult Your Provider: Make sure to discuss any previous allergic reactions or concerns with your provider, as hyaluronidase can sometimes cause allergic reactions in rare cases.
What To Do After The Treatment
- Avoid Touching the Treated Area: Allow the enzyme to work naturally without disturbing the area for 24 hours.
- Apply Ice: If there is swelling or discomfort, you can use ice packs to help reduce it.
- Avoid Intense Activity: Refrain from strenuous exercise or excessive sun exposure for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
- Hydrate Well: Continue drinking plenty of water to support your skin’s recovery and maintain its hydration.
- Monitor for Reactions: Watch for any signs of prolonged swelling or discomfort and consult your provider if any unusual symptoms arise.
