Hyaluronic acid (HA) based fillers can be dissolved with a product called Hyaluronidase. This is an enzyme that can take up to two weeks to work. It functions by breaking down the bonds of HA, speeding up the body’s natural process. The injected filler will begin to soften and break down almost instantly. Individuals can seek filler dissolving for multiple reasons.
No. of sessions: 1-3 dependant on migration
Treatment time: 30 minutes
Recovery time: 3-5 days
Results duration: Permanent
Often only one dissolve session is required. However, if the area has larger tough nodules or large areas of migration, further dissolve sessions may be advised. If the filler has built up over time and is older, it can cause scar tissue. Frequently, clients expect bigger lips to break down over long periods of time. However, if you have big, hard lips, the enzymes in the body may find it problematic to break down the filler. This can result in your natural hyaluronic acid being broken down as a substitute, which can amplify signs of ageing. We recommend that if you do have migrated filler, you tackle it as soon as possible.
Consultation
Your holistic care and treatment standard are paramount. During your consultation appointment, your medical information will be collected, and your suitability will be assessed for the treatment. You will be required to undergo an intradermal patch test, meaning a tiny pain-free injection in your forearm. We will discuss potential contraindications of the treatment.
After your Treatment
Following your treatment, you may experience some swelling, which will lessen in a few days. Bruising may occur, but this can be disguised with makeup the following day. You will be provided with in-depth aftercare instructions. We encourage you to avoid touching the lips and stay hydrated.
