  • How does filler dissolving work?

The enzyme breaks the chemical bonds in the hyaluronic acid, allowing your body to naturally absorb and eliminate the dissolved material. Results are often visible within 24–48 hours, though complete dissolution may take up to two weeks depending on the amount and type of filler.
  • Can all fillers be dissolved?
    No, only hyaluronic acid-based fillers (such as Juvederm, Restylane, and Teosyal) can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Permanent or semi-permanent fillers like Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) and Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) cannot be dissolved using this method.
  • Why might someone need filler dissolving?
    Common reasons include dissatisfaction with cosmetic results, overfilling, lumps or bumps, filler migration, asymmetry, allergic reactions, or urgent complications like vascular occlusion (blocked blood vessels).

    It is recommended to wait at least two weeks after dissolving filler before receiving new injections, to allow for complete healing and accurate assessment of your natural facial structure.
  • Does filler dissolve naturally over time if left untreated?
    Yes, hyaluronic acid fillers gradually break down and are absorbed by the body over several months to a year. However, if you want immediate removal or correction, hyaluronidase injections are the most effective solution.
