Dissolving Dermal Filler

DISSOLVING DERMAL FILLER

Hyaluronidase is an FDA approved injectable solution, which speeds up the natural breakdown of Hyaluronic Acid. Hyalronidase works to breakdown Hyaluronic Acid-based fillers and is a highly sought after treatment for those wanting to reduce the effects of a previous cosmetic injection.

Many Dermal Fillers consist mostly of synthesised Hyaluronic Acid; it is therefore possible to break down these fillers with the use of Hyaluronidase. Those who are unhappy with a previous injectable procedure usually seek after Hyaluronidase. Often clients have previously visited clinics and feel unhappy with their results, leaving the client unhappy and self conscious of their new look.

Fortunately Hyaluronidase is able to help reduce the effects of previous filler that has been injected. The solution is injected into the treatment area and the effects can be seen after several minutes, with optimum results being visible after a few days.

Hyaluronidase is suitable for all fillers built of Hyaluronic Acid.

Treatment FAQ’s

HOW DOES THE TREATMENT WORK?

Prior to treatment you will have an initial consultation to discuss your concerns and what you are hoping to achieve from treatment.

Following injection into the treated area, the enzyme acts within minutes to dissolve unwanted filler and restore the original facial contours. The desired level of flattening can usually be achieved by carefully monitoring the Hyalase dose, with larger doses resulting in complete elimination of the filler from the implantation site.

It is best to delay the injections by several days after Dermal Filler implantation to allow for subsidence of any short-term, treatment-related swelling. The easy reversibility of these commonly used fillers provides a comforting safety margin, ensuring the fillers are associated with almost no permanent adverse effects, contrasting strongly with the inflexibility and irreversibility of permanent fillers.
