What Is Filler Dissolving?

Filler dissolving is a procedure that uses an injectable enzyme called hyaluronidase (also known as Hyalase® in the UK) to break down and dissolve hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. Once injected into the treated area, hyaluronidase works by accelerating the natural degradation process of the filler, which is then absorbed and eliminated by the body.

When Is Filler Dissolving Recommended?

Clients may choose to dissolve filler for the following reasons:

Overfilling or unnatural results
Filler migration, especially around the lips or tear troughs
Lumps or uneven texture
Complications such as vascular occlusion (emergency dissolving)
Poor placement by another provider
Desire to start fresh with new filler
Ageing changes affecting the original results

Common Areas for Filler Dissolving

Lips – to correct migration or overfilling
Under-eyes (tear troughs) – to reduce puffiness, swelling, or blue tinge (Tyndall effect)
Nasal area – to reverse poor non-surgical rhinoplasty outcomes
Cheeks, chin & jawline – to refine or correct asymmetry
Any area with lumps, nodules or adverse reactions

Products We Use

At Ultra Aesthetics, we use only medically licensed Hyalase®, the most widely used hyaluronidase product in the UK. This product is prescription-only (POM) and can only be administered by trained medical professionals after a full consultation and medical assessment.

Important Information About Filler Dissolving

Patch testing is carried out prior to treatment to assess for allergic reaction (as hyaluronidase is a protein-based enzyme).
Results are typically seen within 24–72 hours.
Treated areas may appear temporarily flatter or deflated until any re-treatment or re-filling is performed after a suitable waiting period (usually 2–4 weeks).
Only hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers can be dissolved. Permanent or silicone-based fillers cannot be reversed with hyaluronidase.

Common HA Filler Brands That Can Be Dissolved

We are able to dissolve the following UK-approved hyaluronic acid-based filler brands, including but not limited to:

Juvederm® (e.g. Juvederm Ultra, Volbella, Volift, Voluma)
Restylane®
Belotero®
Teosyal®
Revolax®
Saypha®
Stylage®

If you’re unsure what product was originally used, we can often still proceed after a full consultation and patch test, provided the filler is HA-based.
