Filler Dissolving
Filler dissolving is a corrective treatment designed to safely break down hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers where refinement or reversal is required. At Good Things Clinic, this treatment is approached with care, clinical assessment, and a focus on restoring balance and harmony.
A consultation is required before any treatment at Good Things Clinic, view our consultation options here.
Whether dissolving is requested due to aesthetic concerns, migration, asymmetry, or previous treatment performed elsewhere, every case begins with a comprehensive consultation and assessment.
The goal is not simply removal, but thoughtful correction and safe tissue restoration.
How Filler Dissolving Works
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be broken down using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This enzyme works by dissolving the hyaluronic acid gel, allowing it to be naturally metabolised by the body.
The process requires precise dosing and anatomical knowledge to ensure targeted correction while preserving natural tissue integrity.
Only hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using this method. Other filler types cannot be treated with hyaluronidase.
When Is Filler Dissolving Appropriate
Filler dissolving may be considered in cases of:
- Overcorrection or excessive volume
- Asymmetry
- Product migration
- Unsatisfactory aesthetic outcome
- Persistent swelling
- Preparation for fresh treatment planning
Suitability will always be assessed during consultation, and realistic expectations will be discussed prior to treatment.
Treatment Process
A detailed medical history and assessment will be undertaken. In some cases, a patch test may be recommended prior to treatment to reduce the risk of allergic reaction.
The dissolving enzyme is carefully injected into the targeted area. Mild swelling may occur temporarily as the filler begins to break down.
In some cases, more than one session may be required depending on the amount and type of filler present.
Investment
Treatment is only carried out following a full medical consultation to ensure suitability and safe practice.
What to Expect
Swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur temporarily following treatment. Dissolving effects often begin within 24 to 48 hours, with continued breakdown over several days.
In some cases, staged dissolving may be recommended to maintain control and preserve natural tissue structure.
Following complete resolution, a period of tissue recovery may be advised before considering further filler treatment.
At Good Things Clinic, filler dissolving is delivered with the same clinical precision and ethical approach as all injectable treatments. The focus is on safety, anatomical understanding, and restoring confidence in a calm and supportive environment.
Frequently asked questions
Can all fillers be dissolved?
Only hyaluronic acid based fillers can be dissolved using hyaluronidase.
Is dissolving painful?
Discomfort is typically mild and temporary. Local anaesthetic may be used where appropriate.
How quickly will the filler disappear?
Results often begin within 24 to 48 hours, though full breakdown may take several days.
Will my skin look worse afterwards?
There may be temporary swelling. Once the filler has dissolved, your appearance will return to its natural baseline. Any further treatment planning will be discussed once the area has settled.
Can I have new filler straight away?
In most cases, it is advisable to allow the tissue to settle before reinjecting. This will be discussed during consultation.
