Dissolving dermal filler

Service Description

Dissolving dermal filler is a non surgical corrective treatment used to safely break down previously placed hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers. This treatment is commonly used to address overfilling, migration, asymmetry, lumpiness, or results that no longer align with the client’s aesthetic goals. The procedure uses hyaluronidase, an enzyme that naturally occurs in the body and is able to dissolve hyaluronic acid filler when injected into the treated area. Results can be seen quickly, allowing the area to return closer to its natural state before further treatment or correction is considered. Dissolving filler may be recommended prior to refilling, when correcting work carried out elsewhere, or where filler has aged poorly over time. A thorough assessment is essential, as not all concerns require dissolving and some areas may need staged treatment. All dissolving treatments are carried out by Joanna, an experienced aesthetic expert with advanced knowledge of facial anatomy and complication management, ensuring the procedure is performed safely, precisely and with clinical judgement.
