How reversing dermal filler works

Dermal fillers are typically made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body. If you’re looking to reverse previous filler treatments, this is achieved through a simple, virtually painless injection of a solution called hyaluronidase into the treated area.

Here’s how it works:

Hyaluronidase acts by breaking down the bonds that hold the hyaluronic acid molecules together. This process, known as hydrolysis, immediately dissolves the filler, allowing your body to harmlessly and naturally process the by-products.

The effectiveness of this dissolving process depends on several factors:

• The amount of filler: More filler generally requires more hyaluronidase.
• Filler thickness and cross-linking: Thicker fillers, often used in areas like the cheeks, jawline, or chin, have a higher degree of cross-linking and hyaluronic acid concentration per ml, meaning more hyaluronidase will be needed to break them down.
• Extent of concern: For smaller or more subtle issues, a precise, targeted approach using ‘micro-hyalase’ can be employed to avoid dissolving all of the product, if that’s your preference.

Hyaluronidase remains active for approximately 24-48 hours. To ensure optimal results and prevent the new product from being dissolved, we recommend waiting about two weeks after your dissolving treatment for any residual swelling to fully subside before considering any re-injection of dermal filler or collagen stimulators. This ensures you can achieve the most natural and refreshed outcome.

Why does dermal filler migrate?

Dermal filler migration occurs when the injected product moves from its intended location to an adjacent area. While most commonly associated with lip filler, it’s important to understand that migration can affect any area where a reversible dermal filler has been injected.

Several factors can contribute to dermal filler migration:

• Improper injection technique: Inexperienced or incorrect injection methods can lead to the filler not settling properly.
• Excessive product: Injecting too much dermal filler into one area can cause it to spread.
• Frequent injections: Repeatedly injecting filler into the same area too often may increase the risk of migration.
• Incorrect filler type: Using a filler not suited for a particular area can also contribute to unwanted movement.

The lips are particularly susceptible to migration not only because they are a very mobile part of the face, but also due to the common practice of overfilling this area.

Dermal filler migration is not harmful. Your body will still naturally break down any migrated dermal filler over time.

Fortunately, dermal filler migration can be effectively addressed and treated with dermal filler dissolving, allowing for the restoration of a more natural and refined appearance.

Does filler dissolving damage your natural tissue?

Dermal filler dissolving involves injecting an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which works to break down dermal filler molecules. Dermal filler itself is a man-made version of hyaluronic acid, a molecule naturally present in our skin.

When injected, hyaluronidase acts on both the dermal filler and your body’s natural hyaluronic acid. However, your body quickly regenerates its own hyaluronic acid, ensuring no lasting harm to your native facial tissues.

It’s important to be aware that if you are dissolving filler that has been present for a number of years, it may have been disguising the natural ageing process. When the filler is dissolved, the underlying signs of ageing may become apparent, and you might notice your appearance looks older than you remember.

The need for dermal filler dissolving is generally very low when filler has been injected correctly and conservatively.

Is it safe to dissolve dermal filler with hyalase?

Hyaluronidase, often known as Hyalase, is an enzyme used in cosmetic medicine to reverse the effects of dermal fillers. When administered by a trained and qualified medical professional, it is widely considered a safe and effective treatment. Hyalase works by breaking down the hyaluronic acid molecules in the filler, which are then naturally absorbed and metabolised by your body.

While generally safe, Hyalase, like any medical treatment, carries some potential risks and side effects. These commonly include temporary swelling, redness, bruising, and itching at the injection sites. Though rare, more serious side effects such as skin infection or severe allergic reactions can occur.

To maximise safety and minimise risks, it is crucial to consult with a qualified doctor who has extensive experience in using Hyalase. They will determine the appropriate dosage and employ precise injection techniques tailored to your needs. Following all aftercare instructions and promptly reporting any side effect symptoms to your practitioner will further optimise the safety of your Hyalase treatment.

You can trust the team at Cosmetic Connection to perform your dermal filler dissolving safely and effectively. Our qualified medical professionals utilise premium products and evidence-based techniques to ensure your peace of mind and the best possible outcome.

Reversing Dermal Filler in Sydney

Dermal filler is made of hyaluronic acid. The best part of dermal fillers is that they are reversible. We can instantly dissolve dermal filler using an injection of hyaluronidase. This injection breaks the filler molecules apart, which are then metabolised by you body.

The effectiveness of filler reversal depends on:

• The volume of filler present
• How cross-linked or ‘thick’ the filler is
• The hyaluronic acid concentration of the dermal filler
• How severe the issue issue

Simply put, larger volume of thicker filler, and bigger problems require more hyaluronidase.

After dissolving your filler, we recommend waiting two weeks before re-injecting. If you inject more filler too soon after dissolving, residual hyaluronidase can break down your new filler. We should also wait for any local swelling to subside, so that we can inject your new dermal filler precisely.

Why Dermal Filler Migration Occurs

Lip fillers are the most common treatment affected by migration. However, dermal filler migration can happen anywhere. There are a few causes of dermal filler migration:

• Poor injection technique – the most common cause
• Overfilling – either too much filler in one session, or having treatments too frequently
• Wrong choice of dermal filler for the treatment area and skin quality
