What is dissolving filler?
Dissolving fillers, also known as hyaluronidase treatment, is a procedure used to reverse the effects of dermal fillers made with hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to hydrate and plump the skin.
How does dissolving fillers work?
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that naturally occurs in the body. When injected into the area where the filler was placed, it breaks down the HA molecules in the filler, causing it to dissolve. This allows the body to naturally reabsorb the filler material.
When might you need to dissolve fillers?
There are several reasons why you might want to dissolve fillers:
- Dissatisfaction with results: If you’re unhappy with the results of your filler treatment, such as unevenness, asymmetry, or an overly plumped appearance, dissolving the filler may be an option.
- Complications: In some cases, complications may arise from filler treatment, such as lumps, bumps, or severe swelling. Dissolving the filler can help to address these issues.
- Allergic reaction: If you experience an allergic reaction to the filler material, dissolving it is crucial to alleviate symptoms.
