Filler Dissolving

The use of dermal fillers has become increasingly popular in recent years as a means of addressing the visible signs of ageing. While these treatments can help to restore a youthful appearance, there may be instances where a patient is dissatisfied with the results or experiences complications. In such cases, the use of a filler dissolving treatment can be an effective solution.

What Is Filler Dissolving?

Filler dissolving is a procedure that involves the injection of a substance known as hyaluronidase to break down and dissolve hyaluronic acid fillers. Hyaluronidase is a naturally occurring enzyme that helps to break down hyaluronic acid in the body, making it an effective means of removing dermal fillers.

How Does Filler Dissolving Work?

The procedure for dissolving fillers is relatively simple and involves a few basic steps. Before the process starts, the targeted area is numbed with a local anaesthetic cream to ensure the patient’s comfort. A patch test is also performed to detect any allergic reaction to hyaluronidase, which is used to dissolve the filler.

Once it is confirmed that the patient does not have an allergic reaction, small amounts of hyaluronidase are injected into the target area. The substance works quickly, and within a couple of days, all of the filler should be dissolved and absorbed by the body.

Are There Any Side Effects?

As with any medical procedure, there is the potential for side effects with filler dissolving. However, the risks associated with this treatment are generally low. The most common side effects are mild swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection site. These symptoms usually subside within a few days. In rare cases, patients may experience an allergic reaction to the hyaluronidase. This is why a patch test is performed before the procedure to ensure that the patient is not allergic to the substance.
