Filler Dissolving in Stoke-on-Trent | LM Medica

Q: Is filler dissolving safe?

Hyaluronidase is a well-established, medically used enzyme. As with any treatment, it should only be carried out following a proper assessment to confirm it's the right option for you.

Q: Will dissolving remove all of my filler?

This depends on your goals. Filler dissolving can be used to fully remove product, or to partially reduce it as part of correcting the area — this is discussed during your consultation.

Q: How soon will I see results?

Change is often visible within 24–48 hours, with full resolution typically within about a week.

Q: Can I have new filler after dissolving?

Yes, once the area has settled, a fresh, more conservative treatment plan can usually be discussed at a follow-up consultation.

About this treatment

What is filler dissolving?

Filler dissolving uses an enzyme called hyaluronidase to break down hyaluronic acid dermal fillers that are no longer wanted, have migrated, or have not settled as expected. It can be used to fully remove filler, or to partially reduce it as part of correcting and refining a previous treatment.

Patients seek filler dissolving for a number of reasons: filler that has moved from its original placement (migration), lumps or asymmetry, an overfilled or unnatural appearance, or simply a change of mind about a previous treatment. It can also be used to reset the area before starting fresh with a more conservative approach.

At LM Medica in Stoke-on-Trent, every filler dissolving treatment begins with a face-to-face medical consultation with Dr Hani. The area is carefully assessed to confirm what type of filler is present, how much is there, and the safest way to proceed dissolving is not automatically suitable for every case, and this is determined on assessment.

The enzyme is injected directly into the treatment area, and results are often visible within 24–48 hours as the filler breaks down, though full resolution can take up to a week. Depending on your goals, this may be a standalone treatment or the first step before further correction.
