Filler dissolver refers to an enzyme-based solution, typically hyaluronidase, used to break down hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers. It is commonly used in aesthetic medicine to correct or remove unwanted or excessive filler results.
How Does Filler Dissolver Work?
- Hyaluronidase is injected into the area where the filler is present.
- It breaks down the hyaluronic acid into smaller molecules that are naturally absorbed and eliminated by the body.
- Effects can be seen within 24–48 hours, though full results may take up to two weeks.
Why Use Filler Dissolver?
- To correct overfilled areas or asymmetry.
- To reverse filler migration.
- To dissolve old or unwanted filler before a fresh treatment.
- In case of complications such as vascular occlusion (blockage of a blood vessel), which can lead to serious complications.
Does It Work on All Fillers?
- YES: Works on hyaluronic acid-based fillers (e.g., Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero).
- NO: Does not work on permanent or semi-permanent fillers (e.g., Radiesse, Sculptra, Silicone).
Side Effects & Risks
- Temporary swelling, redness, or bruising.
- Possible allergic reaction (though rare).
- Dissolution of natural hyaluronic acid (can lead to volume loss).
