Filler Dissolving (Hyaluronidase) in Andover
Safe, Professional Reversal of Dermal Fillers
At Dr Malaika Clinics in Andover, we offer elective and emergency filler dissolving using hyaluronidase, a prescription-only enzyme that safely breaks down hyaluronic acid fillers. This treatment ensures you can correct, adjust, or reverse filler treatments when needed, under the care of medical professionals.
Why Hyaluronic Acid Fillers Are Popular
Most dermal or soft tissue fillers are hyaluronic acid-based, meaning they can be safely “dissolved” if necessary. This makes them:
- Reversible in emergencies.
- Customisable if you wish to adjust results or correct placement.
- Safe when administered by trained medical practitioners.
It’s important to choose a clinic where the injector has hyaluronidase on hand in case of complications.
Emergency Filler Dissolving
Although rare, vascular occlusions are the most serious complication of dermal filler treatments. This occurs when filler is accidentally injected into a blood vessel, blocking blood flow and potentially causing tissue damage.
Early recognition and treatment with hyaluronidase is essential to prevent long-term scarring or tissue loss.
Elective Filler Dissolving
Elective dissolving is a controlled procedure for patients who:
- Want to reverse poorly placed or migrated filler.
- Prefer a more natural appearance.
- Wish to remove filler from lips, cheeks, or jawlines before starting again.
Hyaluronidase works by breaking down the bonds between hyaluronic acid molecules, allowing your body to metabolise the filler more effectively. Some residual filler may remain.
Popular areas for elective dissolving:
- Lips (to correct lumps, migration, or overfilling)
- Cheeks and jawline (to achieve a more natural contour)
Many patients, including celebrities, now choose to dissolve over-filled areas for a softer, natural look before restarting treatment.
Allergy Considerations
Before elective dissolving, a patch or skin prick test is required to rule out allergy.
- Those with severe allergies to bee stings should consider the risks carefully, as emergency or elective dissolving may not be possible.
- Patch testing typically takes around 20 minutes on the forearm.
- No patch test is required for emergency dissolving.
