What Is Filler Dissolving?
Filler dissolving is an injection of hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid. At Aesthetemed we use Hylenex for this treatment.
It works only on hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. It does not dissolve non-HA products such as calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse) or poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra).
Treated areas include the lips, under-eyes, chin, cheeks, jawline, nose, and temples.
Who This Treatment Is For
- Patients with uneven, lumpy, or overfilled HA filler
- Those with filler that has migrated, for example above the lip line
- Patients with a bluish tint (Tyndall effect) under the eyes
- Anyone who wants to reverse filler before a new treatment plan
- Patients who received filler elsewhere and want a correction
Consultation Required
Your provider reviews which product was used and when, examines the area, and checks for allergies before treatment. A small test may be recommended. If you know the brand of your previous filler, bring that information to the visit.
