Filler Dissolution Treatment: Complete Guide

Filler dissolution is a specialized medical treatment designed to remove or break down previously administered Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. This treatment offers a solution when filler results aren’t meeting your expectations, when filler has migrated, or when it is uneven or bumpy or in cases requiring medical intervention.

Medical Indications:

The Science Behind Dissolution: Our dissolution treatment uses a naturally occurring enzyme that specifically targets and breaks down hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. This enzyme is naturally present in our bodies and works by breaking the bonds in the HA filler material, allowing it to be safely absorbed. Dissolving Filler can take multiple treatments.
