What is Filler Dissolver?

Filler dissolver can be used as a non-surgical treatment meant to safely and effectively remove hyaluronic-based dermal fillers from areas in the face where the filler is no longer wanted, was not applied correctly, or where there was simply a poor result.

Utilizing hyaluronidase, a specialized enzyme, this treatment breaks down HA fillers, such as those used in lip, cheek, or under-eye enhancements. For patients who are experiencing lumps or overfilled areas or who simply want to reverse a previous filler treatment, this procedure offers a quick and precise solution to restore a natural appearance. With customized treatments for Filler Dissolver in Boston, our team ensures both safety and satisfaction for balanced, natural-looking results.

  • Quick results and improvement within about 24 to 48 hours

Filler Dissolver Candidates

Filler dissolver is ideal for those who are unhappy with previous filler results, have experienced complications such as lumps or asymmetry, or simply wish to reverse the effects of HA based dermal fillers. Patients who are interested in this treatment should be in generally good health and should have realistic expectations for outcomes. Allergy to bee stings or other venomous insect stings can indicate a higher susceptibility to hyaluronidase allergy, so patients with these allergies should take note when considering filler dissolver.

What issues does Filler Dissolver address?

Filler dissolver can safely and effectively address a range of aesthetic concerns, including:

  • Overfill | Reduce excess volume for a more natural appearance
  • Lumps and Bumps | Smooth irregularities and restore smoothness
  • Migration | Correct misplaced filler that has moved beyond the intended area
  • Asymmetry | Balance facial features by dissolving uneven filler
  • Complications | Treats reactions or adverse effects from prior filler treatments

Consultation and Preparation for Filler Dissolver

A thorough consultation is the first step when considering filler dissolver, and we will take the time to understand your specific concerns, assess the areas where fillers have been applied, and discuss your aesthetic goals in detail. We will also review your medical history, including any allergies or previous reactions to treatments, to ensure hyaluronidase is a safe and effective option for you. Preparing for the procedure could include avoiding blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, or vitamin E, as they can increase the risk of bruising.

The Filler Dissolver Procedure

Once you are comfortable in one of our luxurious treatment rooms, the targeted area will be thoroughly cleansed and prepared for injection. To enhance comfort during the procedure, a topical numbing agent may be applied to minimize any potential discomfort from the injections. Your provider will then carefully inject hyaluronidase directly into the areas with unwanted filler to produce optimal results and return the area to pre-filler appearance as closely as possible. The enzyme works quickly to break down the hyaluronic acid within the filler, allowing it to be safely absorbed by the body. The entire procedure typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area's size and complexity.

Filler Dissolver Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Results after treatment can often be seen within 24 to 48 hours, with full effects visible in about a week. Recovery is minimal, and most patients experience only mild swelling or redness at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days. To ensure optimal results, patients should avoid strenuous activities, alcohol, and excessive sun exposure for 24 hours following treatment.
