Dissolving dermal filler is an advanced and innovative technique used to reverse the effects of previously injected dermal fillers. This procedure involves the application of an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which is strategically injected into the treated area. Hyaluronidase acts by breaking down the hyaluronic acid-based filler, effectively reducing its presence and restoring the skin’s original appearance.

Hyaluronidase is a naturally occurring enzyme in the body that aids in the breakdown and turnover of cells and tissues. In the context of dissolving filler, a synthetic form of hyaluronidase is utilised to specifically target and dissolve hyaluronic acid fillers.

What are the benefits of dissolving filler?

REVERSAL OF UNWANTED RESULTS

Dissolving filler allows patients to reverse or adjust the effects of previously injected dermal fillers that may have resulted in undesired outcomes or asymmetry.

CORRECTING OVERFILLING OR MISPLACEMENT

Dissolving filler is particularly beneficial for correcting overfilled areas or filler placement that may have shifted from the intended location.

GREATER CONTROL OVER AESTHETIC RESULTS

By having the option to dissolve filler, patients gain more control over their appearance, giving them the ability to fine-tune their facial features and achieve their desired look.

Frequently Asked Questions

HOW DOES HYALURONIDASE WORK TO DISSOLVE FILLERS?

Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that targets and breaks down hyaluronic acid, which is the main component of most dermal fillers. When injected into the treated area, hyaluronidase breaks down the filler material, leading to a reduction in its presence and effects.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR DERMAL FILLER DISSOLVING TO WORK?

Most patients observe an initial reduction in filler volume within hours after the injection of hyaluronidase. The maximum effect typically occurs within 24 to 48 hours, depending on the amount and type of filler that was used, the amount of hyaluronidase injected, and individual patient factors.

ARE DERMAL FILLER DISSOLVING INJECTIONS PAINFUL?

The injections are usually well-tolerated and cause minimal discomfort. Patients may experience slight stinging or pinching at the injection sites.

IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME AFTER DERMAL FILLER DISSOLVING INJECTIONS?

Dermal filler dissolving injections have minimal downtime, and patients can generally resume their normal activities shortly after the procedure.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS OF DERMAL FILLER DISSOLVING INJECTIONS?

Common side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites. These effects are usually mild and resolve on their own.

HOW MANY SESSIONS OF DERMAL FILLER DISSOLVING ARE NEEDED TO ACHIEVE THE DESIRED RESULTS?

The number of sessions required may vary based on individual factors, the type of filler used, and the extent of correction needed. In some cases, one session may be sufficient, while others may require multiple sessions.
