Filler Dissolving
DISSOLVE. RESET. REBALANCE
What is filler dissolving/reversal?
Dermal filler reversal uses hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers so your body can clear them.
It is the best option when lips or facial areas look overfilled, uneven, lumpy or when filler has migrated.
Reversal is a medical procedure carried out only after consultation and a mandatory test patch because, like any medicine, hyaluronidase can cause allergic reactions.
Your practitioner will assess whether a partial dissolve or full dissolve is right for you, then plan any refilling once tissues have settled.
How does it work and what should I expect?
Your hyaluronidase appointment begins with a consultation and test patch. If suitable, the enzyme is diluted and injected with fine needles into the unwanted HA filler.
Hyaluronidase cleaves HA chains, softening or dissolving the gel so the body can clear it.
Many clients notice improvement straight away, with further change over 1 to 7 days as the enzyme works. Hyaluronidase targets HA fillers only and can also reduce some HA that naturally exists in the skin for a short time, so precise dosing and placement matter.
The aim is to restore a natural contour and give you a clean canvas for future treatment if desired
A review is usually booked at 1 to 2 weeks. If you plan a refill, this is typically scheduled after tissues have settled.
Expect brief stinging, swelling or bruising. Aftercare is simple: avoid heat, alcohol, strenuous exercise and firm massage for 24 hours, keep the area clean, and use SPF
How much does it cost?
The cost of Filler Reversal using a maximum of 1500 units of Hyaluronidase is £300 per vial, including VAT. Additional cost will be incurred if more is required.
£50 of this can redeemed towards a filler refill within 3 months post dissolving if deemed appropriate.
