Filler dissolving in Southport

If you are unhappy with previous filler, or it has migrated, lumped or simply outstayed its welcome, it can be dissolved. A small injection of an enzyme breaks down hyaluronic acid filler so the area returns to its natural state, ready for a fresh start if you want one. It is an important safety option alongside our dermal filler treatments in Southport.

Natural Results You'll Love

Corrects unwanted filler
Dissolving removes filler that has migrated, lumped or been overfilled, returning the area to its natural state.
Once dissolved, you can choose to leave the area natural or start fresh with a new, well-planned treatment.
Knowing filler can be dissolved is part of what makes hyaluronic acid treatments so reassuring in the first place.

Why filler dissolving works

Hyaluronic acid filler can be broken down by an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which your body also produces naturally. A small, targeted injection dissolves the filler in the treated area over a day or two, so it can be removed entirely or partially corrected. This is one of the reasons hyaluronic acid is such a reassuring choice: nothing is truly permanent. We assess the area first and, where you want new filler afterwards, allow the skin to settle before retreating.

Treatment time:

15 to 20 minutes

Downtime:

Minimal. Some swelling is normal for a day or two.

What to Expect After Your Treatment

Avoid touching or pressing the area for the rest of the day, skip strenuous exercise, alcohol and heat (saunas, sunbeds) for 24 to 48 hours, and sleep slightly elevated if you notice swelling. Mild tenderness or bruising settles within a few days. Full aftercare guidance is on our aftercare page.

Within 24 to 48 hours

How Long Can I Enjoy My Results?

Permanent for the filler removed

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

I can’t recommend Rachel highly enough. This was my very first appointment with Rachel and it certainly won’t be my last, she made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. She is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and takes the time to really listen and understand what you want to achieve. Rachel has a very natural approach and her attention to detail is amazing. I feel confident knowing I’m in such skilled hands, and the results have been exactly what I hoped for. Thank you, Rachel, for your care, expertise, and for always making the whole experience so positive. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a trusted and talented practitioner.

I recently had polynucleotide under-eye injections with Rachel, and I couldn’t be more pleased with both the experience and the results so far. From the moment I arrived, Rachel was incredibly welcoming, professional, and knowledgeable. She took the time to explain the treatment thoroughly and made me feel completely comfortable and reassured throughout the entire process. The treatment itself was surprisingly pain-free, with minimal discomfort and very little downtime afterwards. I’ve already noticed a significant improvement in the appearance of my under-eye area - it looks brighter, more refreshed, and the fine lines have softened noticeably. As someone who works night shifts in the NHS, tired-looking eyes have always been a concern for me, so seeing such positive results already has been amazing. I’m excited to complete the rest of my treatment course and see the full benefits. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone considering polynucleotide treatments. Her professionalism, expertise, and friendly approach make the whole experience exceptional ❤️
