Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are one of the most popular treatments in aesthetic medicine, enabling a youthful appearance and defined facial contours. However, sometimes the results do not meet expectations or there is a migration of fillers, asymmetry or unwanted volume. In these cases, dissolving fillers is an effective solution for restoring the natural appearance. Find out how this process is carried out, how long the process take, and when is the best time to consider a new filler application below.

How does filler dissolution work?

Dissolution of fillers is carried out by applying hyaluronidase, an enzyme that selectively breaks down hyaluronic acid. The procedure is quick and efficient, and the results are visible within 24 to 48 hours. This treatment is most often used when the patient is not satisfied with the results, when there is a migration of fillers or when it is necessary to completely remove the previously applied filler before a new application.

Key features of hyaluronidase:

  • Fast action – visible results within 24 to 48 hours
  • Possibility of precise application to the desired area
  • Reduces or completely removes filler, depending on the dosage
  • Safe and minimally invasive procedure

For greater comfort, local anesthesia can be applied before the procedure, which minimizes the feeling of discomfort during the application of hyaluronidase.

What to expect after dissolving fillers?

After the treatment, most patients feel relief and satisfaction because the natural structure of the face is restored. However, as with all aesthetic procedures, minor temporary side effects are possible, such as:

  • Mild swelling – occurs immediately after treatment and resolves within a few days
  • Bruising or redness – may appear at the application site, but disappear quickly
  • Possible allergic reactions – they are rare, but the doctor can prevent them with preliminary testing

Consulting an experienced doctor is a crucial step to avoid possible complications and ensure the best possible outcome.

How long should I wait before a new filler application?

After dissolving the filler, it is important to give the skin time to regenerate before reapplying. The recommended break period is between two and four weeks, depending on the individual skin reaction and tissue healing.

During this period, the patient can:

  • Observe your natural facial contours to better decide on future enhancements
  • Consider alternative facial enhancement methods, such as biostimulators or lifting techniques
  • Ensure optimal skin conditions for a new filler application

This break is not only an aesthetic recommendation, but an opportunity for the patient to make an informed decision about their further treatments.
