Filler Dissolving Injections at Face Nuvo Clinic

If filler placed elsewhere has migrated, looks unnatural, or you've simply changed your mind, hyaluronidase dissolves it. Often a one-session treatment for small areas; larger or older filler may need a second session. Emily takes detailed before-photos and asks 24 hours of questions before treating — dissolving is reversible only by waiting, so it's worth getting right.

What to expect.

Allergy-tested first if you've never had hyaluronidase before — small subdermal test 30 minutes ahead of treatment. Then injections directly into the filler being dissolved. Significant swelling for 24–48 hours is normal and expected — the area looks worse before it looks better. Plan for a quiet weekend.

Results timeline.

Most of the filler dissolves within 24–72 hours; full settling at 7–14 days. For smaller volumes (lip, tear-trough), one session is usually enough. Larger or older filler can need a second session 2–4 weeks later. Once dissolved, the area returns close to its baseline; if you want to re-treat, Emily recommends waiting 4 weeks for tissue to fully recover.

Session spacing:Single session most cases; second session at 2–4 weeks if needed

Questions, answered.

What does Filler Dissolving Injections actually do to the skin?

Laser skin rejuvenation stimulates collagen and elastin production at a controlled depth below the surface. The visible change is smoother texture, more even tone, reduced fine lines, and improved luminosity — gradual but durable. It doesn't tighten like surgery; it improves skin quality. Think of it as optimising the canvas, not changing the face.

How long until I see results?

Subtle glow and smoothness appear within 7–14 days of the first session. Collagen remodelling takes longer — the full result from a 3–4 session course shows up 3–6 months after the final treatment. It's a slow-burn treatment; if you want dramatic immediate change, this isn't it. If you want your skin to age better, this is exactly it.

How many sessions do I need?

Most clients see meaningful results from a 3–4 session course, spaced Single session most cases; second session at 2–4 weeks if needed. Single sessions produce visible but temporary glow; the structural improvement (texture, tone, collagen density) comes from the course. Emily will recommend a count at consultation based on your skin's current state and goals — sometimes 3 is enough, sometimes 6 is better.

Does it hurt?

Mild heat and a prickling sensation across the treated area. Most clients describe it as 'warm and tingly' rather than painful. The face and small areas go quickly (10–15 minutes of active treatment); larger areas take longer. Redness for a few hours afterwards is normal; a little pinkness the next morning is possible, usually settled by the evening.

Are there medications or conditions that rule me out?

Active tan, recent sun exposure, Roaccutane in the last six months, photosensitising medications, and pregnancy are the main pauses. Certain skin conditions (active acne flare, cold sore in the treated area, recent chemical peel) require rescheduling. Emily runs a health screen at consultation; most clients are straightforwardly suitable.

Can I combine Filler Dissolving Injections with facials?

Yes — with spacing. Book facials either 1 week before or 2 weeks after a rejuvenation session so the skin isn't doing two things at once. Many clients alternate: one rejuvenation session, a couple of facials for maintenance, another rejuvenation session. Emily will sequence the plan with you at consultation.

Who's the ideal candidate?

Clients in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who want to improve skin quality proactively — texture, fine lines, tone, dullness, early sun damage. Younger clients (late 20s) with specific concerns (acne scarring, pigmentation) also benefit. It's not the right treatment for deep wrinkles (those need different tools) or for clients with very active acne (treat that first).
