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.
