Hyaluronic Acid Filler Dissolving

Hyaluronidase may be used to break down hyaluronic acid filler when this is clinically appropriate.

Hyaluronic Acid Filler Dissolving

Overview

Understanding Hyaluronic Acid Filler Dissolving

The amount of change is not precisely predictable, and dissolving is itself an injection procedure with risks. A consultation will establish the filler type, treatment history and your goals.

Assessment first

We review your concerns and relevant history before recommending treatment.

Individual planning

Options are selected according to suitability, priorities and the proposed procedure.

Clear information

Expected benefits, limitations, alternatives and relevant risks are discussed before consent.

Aftercare and support

Written aftercare and an appropriate route for questions or concerns are provided.

Dissolving may be considered for an unwanted aesthetic result or as part of management of a complication. We will explain the likely response, potential for repeated treatment, possible effects on naturally occurring hyaluronic acid and the risk of allergic reaction. Fillers made from other materials cannot be dissolved by hyaluronidase. A suspected vascular complication after filler needs immediate clinical assessment; do not wait for a routine consultation.

Your clinician will assess the area after it settles and advise on timing.

Can it dissolve filler placed elsewhere?

Sometimes, if the product is known or reasonably identifiable as hyaluronic acid and treatment is appropriate.

Is an allergic reaction possible?

Yes; your clinician will assess relevant history and explain the management plan.
