Dermal Filler Dissolving: Your Questions Answered
Have questions about dissolving dermal fillers with hyaluronidase? You're not alone. Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about this safe and effective procedure.
What is dermal filler dissolving with hyaluronidase?
Dermal filler dissolving is a non-surgical procedure to reverse the effects of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. It involves injecting an enzyme called hyaluronidase into the treated area. Hyaluronidase works by breaking down hyaluronic acid, the main component of many popular fillers, causing the filler to dissolve and be naturally absorbed by the body.
Is dermal filler dissolving safe?
When performed by a qualified and experienced medical professional, dermal filler dissolving is considered safe. However, like any medical procedure, there are potential risks, such as bruising, swelling, and temporary skin irregularities
How long does it take to see results from dermal filler dissolving?
The results of dermal filler dissolving can be seen within 24-48 hours, but the full effects may take a few days or weeks to become fully apparent. In some cases, more than one session may be required to achieve the desired outcome.
How much does dermal filler dissolving cost in the UK?
The cost of dermal filler dissolving varies depending on several factors, including the amount of filler to be dissolved, the area being treated, and the practitioner’s experience. On average, you can expect to pay between £ 200 and £500 per session.
Can I have new dermal fillers after dissolving previous ones?
Yes, you can have new dermal fillers after dissolving previous ones. However, it’s recommended to wait until the hyaluronidase has completely broken down the old filler and any swelling or bruising has subsided. This typically takes a few weeks.
