When you choose to get a dermal filler procedure, there’s always at least a very small risk that you may also need filler dissolving treatments in future. Of course, there are many cases where filler has been applied beautifully and there’s no reason to seek dissolvers. However, we believe it’s in every client’s best interest to know exactly what happens should they have a change of heart. We’re going to share with you exactly what happens if you get a filler dissolving treatment.
What Is A Filler Dissolver?
Filler dissolver is made of hyaluronidase. It’s a solution that breaks down hyaluronic acid, which is what the majority of dermal fillers are made of. Much like fillers, dissolvers are comprised of naturally occurring materials that are found in the human body. Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that is also used for medical purposes, as well as aesthetics.
How Long Does Filler Dissolving Take?
The enzyme itself can begin to break down fillers almost immediately, and you should see results within 24 hours. However, the full results of a hyaluronidase injection will take up to two weeks to take effect.
The duration of your procedure will vary, depending on the extent of your existing filler. In some cases where there is a lot of filler built up over time, a scan may be necessary to determine where it is placed. Smaller, targeted areas of filler such as the lips could be dissolved in a simple 30 minute appointment, whereas a full face of filler may require multiple appointments and scans for a full result.
Who Needs A Dissolving Treatment?
There are many reasons why someone may seek a dissolving treatment. As well as being unhappy with the results of a filler procedure, there are also many complications that may need treating with dissolvers. These include granulomas, lumps, filler migration, infections, discolouration and even more serious side effects like allergic reactions and skin necrosis.
