Lip fillers have become an extremely popular treatment due to the non-permanent, quick, and effective results they can offer. However, being able to reverse the treatment is an important factor in many people’s decisions to receive lip fillers. Although the body naturally breaks down hyaluronic fillers over time, hyaluronidase injections provide a quick fix to remove the previous filler and restore the natural lips.

Hyaluronidase injections may be used by patients who are unsatisfied with their filler treatment or patients who want to reduce the volume of their lips and go back to a more natural look. It might also be used to fix botched, potentially dangerous fillers that have been poorly administered. You may opt for dissolving lip filler treatment if:

• You’ve had poorly placed lip fillers resulting in uneven, botched lips.
• Filler has been injected too close to the surface of the lips, creating bumps or hard lumps.
• You experience bruising, discolouration and painful or sensitive lips due to overfilling the lips.
• Filler could migrate over time, moving above your lip line and making your lips look uneven and lacking in a lip border.
• You wish to change the lip shape or reduce the volume in the lips.

A consultation with your practitioner is essential in making sure you understand the treatment fully and confirming that you’re a good candidate for this treatment. A patch test is required before treatment which takes 20 minutes. The patch test will be carried out on the day of treatment.

At your appointment, your practitioner will use extremely thin needles to inject the Hyaluronidase into the lips. The process generally takes around 5-10 minutes, and the results start to occur within a few hours of the injections. Since swelling is a common side effect, your lips will appear bigger than before until the swelling subsides. Full results are noticeable 48 hours after the treatment.

Many patients choose to have additional lip filler alongside the dissolving treatment to restore a balanced lip shape and add natural-looking volume back into the lips. This can be administered two weeks after your dissolving treatment as this gives your lips time to heal and it ensures the new filler is not immediately dissolved.

This treatment is not completely pain free, but the pain is minimal as the lips are numbed prior to treatment. The process is so fast that any pain or stinging will subside quickly.

Where ever filler has been injected it can be dissolved. So if you are unhappy with previous Jaw, Cheek, Chin, Nasolabial filler we can dissolve that as well.

Dissolving boast having very little downtime attached and before you leave the clinic your practitioner will ensure you have been given any relevant aftercare instructions.
