Introduction

What is Dermal Filler Dissolution

HA fillers are commonly used to add volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Dissolving hyaluronic acid (HA), fillers reverse the effects of cosmetic enhancements made with hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers.

Dissolving dermal fillers involves injecting hyaluronidase, a naturally occurring enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid. When injected directly into the treated area, it helps dissolve the HA filler, allowing the body to absorb it.

This beauty-refining procedure is relatively quick, and the results are noticeable within a few hours to days. However, it may require multiple sessions depending on the amount of filler and specific circumstances.

Why Consider Dermal Filler Removal

The following reasons may prompt individuals to reverse or adjust the results of the HA filler treatment.

Dissatisfaction: Individuals may not be comfortable with the results of their filler treatment.

Complications: Rarely, complications like unevenness, lumps, or overfilling may occur.

Change of Preference: Personal preferences may change, leading individuals to desire adjustments or removal of the filler.

Before undergoing a filler dissolution procedure, individuals should consult a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon to discuss their concerns and determine the most appropriate course of action.

Is Hyaluronidase Permanent?

The results of dissolving fillers are generally considered permanent. However, for patients with years of filler treatments, the resultant scar tissue caused by the fillers may add additional bulk that may require surgical removal.

What Types of Dermal Fillers can be Dissolved?

Dermal filler dissolution is most effective for hyaluronic acid-based fillers. It may not work for permanent or semi-permanent fillers, which may require different approaches.

Does Dermal Filler Dissolution Cause Scarring?

Dermal filler dissolution is minimally invasive, and scarring is rare. The injections are small and made with precision to minimise potential scarring.

Can I Undergo a New Filler Treatment Immediately After Dissolution?

Waiting for a specific period before a new filler treatment may be recommended. This allows time for any residual swelling or redness to subside and ensures an accurate assessment of the corrected area.
