Product dissolving

Dissolving involves an enzyme specifically designed to break down HA safely and effectively. It is used by to dissolve unwanted or problematic product in a controlled manner.ome products are hydrophilic, therefore it is often recommended to reassess or refresh every 5 years. Doing so ensures your results remain balanced, natural, and aligned with your evolving facial structure.

Regular follow-ups also allow for adjustments if:

    •    Volume needs change with aging

    •    Subtle repositioning is desired

    •    Any irregularities or lumps develop

Most of the time, dissolving is recommended by our practitioner. There are several reasons a patient might choose/need to have product dissolved:

    1.    Unsatisfactory results – The shape, placement, or volume does not meet expectations.

    2.    Overfilling – Too much product was injected, leading to an unnatural or heavy appearance.

    3.    Migration or lumps – Product may move from the intended area or form small nodules.

    4.    Complications – Rarely, filler can cause discomfort, swelling, or vascular compromise (reduced blood flow), which requires urgent correction.

    5.    Changing aesthetic goals – The patient may wish to adjust their look over time or before a different treatment plan.

Typically, clients can expect most swelling to be immediate for 1-2 days and mild bruising to the injected area.

With dissolving, the enzyme breaks down foreign hyaluronic acid as well as your own body’s unfortunately. Which means, depending on the area treated, type of product and body’s metabolism; it can take up to 6-12 weeks for your own body to rebuild the HA. It is recommended to wait atleast 6 weeks before re-treating the concerned area for optimal results.

Product breakdown is usually immediate, however with the swelling and brusising expect full results up to 2-4 weeks post treatment.

This will depend on product breakdown vs desired goal.
