Dissolve or adjust
hyaluronic acid fillers

Filler dissolvers, often comprising hyaluronidase, are specialized enzymes used to break down and dissolve hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. At Origins Medicine & Aesthetics, our expert team uses ultrasound-guided injections to target and remove unwanted filler, ensuring optimal results. This treatment is ideal for correcting issues like overfilled areas, asymmetry, and lumps. Filler dissolver allows for quick adjustments and refinements, providing a safe and effective way to achieve a natural, balanced look.

Filler dissolvers treat:

  • Overfilled areas
  • Asymmetry
  • Lumps or nodules
  • Misplaced fillers
  • Complications from previous fillers
  • Undesirable aesthetic results
  • Migration of filler material
  • Swelling or inflammation at the injection site

How do filler dissolvers work?

Filler dissolvers, primarily hyaluronidase, are enzymes that break down hyaluronic acid, the main component in most dermal fillers. When injected into the treated area, hyaluronidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of hyaluronic acid, converting it into smaller sugar molecules that the body can naturally absorb and eliminate. At Origins Medicine & Aesthetics, we use ultrasound-guided injections to ensure precise application, effectively reducing unwanted filler while minimizing risks. This process helps restore the skin’s natural appearance.

Benefits of filler dissolvers:

  • Quick correction of overfilled areas
  • Precise targeting with ultrasound-guided injections
  • Safe and effective enzyme-based treatment
  • Minimal downtime and quick recovery
  • Natural-looking results
  • Ability to adjust and refine previous filler treatments
  • Immediate improvement in treated areas
  • Reduces risks of long-term complications

Filler dissolver FAQs

How do I prepare for a filler dissolver treatment?

To reduce the risk of bruising, it’s recommended to avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E, for a few days before the procedure.

What should I expect during the filler dissolver procedure?

During the filler dissolver procedure, your provider will first clean the area and apply a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. Then, using ultrasound guidance, the provider will inject the hyaluronidase enzyme into the areas with unwanted filler. The procedure is relatively quick, usually taking about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the extent of treatment required.

Is the filler dissolver treatment painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort. The procedure involves using fine needles to inject the hyaluronidase, and a topical anesthetic can be applied to minimize pain.

Are there any side effects of filler dissolvers?

While filler dissolver treatments are generally safe, some patients may experience mild side effects like swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site for a few days.

What should I do after the filler dissolver treatment?

After the filler dissolver, it’s important to follow your provider’s aftercare instructions. This may include avoiding strenuous activities, not touching or massaging the treated area, and keeping the area clean. You may also be advised to apply ice to reduce swelling.

How soon can I see the results after a filler dissolver treatment?

Results from a filler dissolver are typically noticeable within 24 to 48 hours. The enzyme starts working immediately upon injection, breaking down the hyaluronic acid, and patients often observe a reduction in filler volume within a day or two.

How many filler dissolver sessions will I need?

The number of sessions required depends on the amount of filler that needs to be dissolved and the area being treated. Some patients achieve their desired results with a single session, while others may require multiple treatments.

Can I get new fillers after a filler dissolver treatment?

Yes, you can receive new fillers after a filler dissolver treatment. However, it’s advisable to wait at least one to two weeks after the dissolver treatment to allow the area to heal completely and to ensure that all unwanted filler has been effectively removed.
