HA Filler dissolving

Treatment Summary

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) filler dissolving is a safe and effective treatment used to reduce, correct, or fully remove previously injected HA-based dermal fillers. Using Hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid, this treatment allows us to refine results or address complications with precision and care.

Whether you’re unhappy with previous filler, experiencing migration, or simply want a fresh start, filler dissolving offers a controlled solution tailored to your needs.

Hyaluronidase is a medically approved enzyme that rapidly breaks down hyaluronic acid fillers. It works by dissolving the filler into smaller components that are naturally absorbed by the body.

Only HA-based fillers can be dissolved. Permanent or non-HA fillers cannot be treated with this method.

  • Gently reverses unwanted hyaluronic acid filler for a more natural, balanced appearance
  • Ideal for refining results, correcting migration, or starting fresh with confidence
  • Subtle improvements begin immediately, with results continuing to settle over the next few days
  • Every treatment begins with a personalised consultation tailored to your aesthetic goals
  • Performed by an experienced medical aesthetics practitioner in a discreet clinical setting

HA filler dissolving is a medical aesthetic procedure that uses an enzyme called hyaluronidase to gradually and safely break down hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers. It is commonly performed to correct overfilling, asymmetry, lumps, migration, or unsatisfactory aesthetic results, and it can also be used in urgent situations such as vascular complications.

The enzyme works by dissolving the filler so it can be naturally absorbed by the body. Results may be seen quickly, though more than one session can sometimes be required depending on the amount and type of filler present.

HA filler dissolving is a bespoke corrective treatment created to refine and restore your natural facial balance. Using Hyaluronidase, unwanted hyaluronic acid filler is carefully softened and broken down, allowing the area to return to a more natural, harmonious appearance.

This treatment is suited to those who feel their previous filler no longer reflects their aesthetic goals, or who wish to gently reset before future enhancement. Every step is guided by expert assessment, with an emphasis on subtle correction, safety, and refined results.

Changes begin to appear quickly, with the area continuing to settle over the following days. The outcome is a smoother, lighter, more natural look, approached with discretion, precision, and care.

What is HA filler dissolving?
HA filler dissolving is a corrective treatment that uses Hyaluronidase to gently break down unwanted hyaluronic acid filler, allowing it to be naturally absorbed by the body.

How quickly will I see results?
Changes often begin immediately, with the area continuing to soften and settle over the next 24–72 hours.

Is the treatment safe?
When performed by an experienced medical aesthetics practitioner, HA filler dissolving is a safe and well-established procedure. A full consultation is always carried out prior to treatment.

Will all of my filler be removed?
This depends on your goals. The treatment can be used to partially refine an area or fully dissolve filler, depending on the assessment and desired outcome.

Clients can expect a softer, more natural appearance as unwanted hyaluronic acid filler is gently broken down and absorbed by the body. Areas that previously felt overfilled, firm, or unbalanced often appear smoother and more refined, restoring facial harmony. Changes may be noticeable immediately, with results continuing to settle over the following days.

The outcome is a refreshed, lighter look that feels more in alignment with your natural features, creating a beautiful foundation whether you wish to maintain a natural result or prepare for future aesthetic treatments.  If desired, new filler can usually be placed once the area has fully settled, typically after a short recovery period recommended during your consultation.
