Elective Filler Dissolve

Elective filler dissolve is a specialised treatment designed to safely remove unwanted or misplaced dermal filler. Using a targeted enzyme, the treatment works to break down hyaluronic acid-based filler, allowing it to be naturally reabsorbed by the body.

 

This treatment is suitable for those who are unhappy with previous filler results, experiencing migration, asymmetry or overfilling, or who simply wish to return to a more natural appearance.

​

At Aspen Medical Aesthetics, elective filler dissolve is carried out using hyaluronidase, a clinically proven enzyme used to break down hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers.

 

Treatment is tailored to your individual concerns. Whether you are looking for a full dissolve or a more precise, targeted correction, your treatment plan will be carefully designed to restore balance and achieve a natural-looking result.

​

At Aspen Medical Aesthetics in Bathgate, West Lothian, treatments are delivered by a qualified NMC-registered independent prescriber, with a strong focus on safety, precision and natural-looking outcomes.

 

Elective filler dissolve is a medical procedure and is only carried out following a comprehensive consultation and assessment to ensure suitability and safe treatment planning.

Lip Filler Dissolve

​

Lip filler dissolve is one of the most commonly requested treatments, often used to correct migration, overfilling or uneven results, or to return to a more natural lip shape.

Using carefully placed injections of hyaluronidase, filler can be reduced or fully dissolved to improve balance, definition and overall appearance. The treatment can be tailored depending on your goals, whether that is a full dissolve or a more subtle adjustment.

​

A patch test is required at least 72 hours prior to treatment to ensure suitability and minimise the risk of an adverse reaction.

​

Following treatment, the lips may appear swollen for a short period before settling. Final results are typically seen within a few days once the filler has fully broken down.

​

​Once the area has healed, further treatment options can be discussed if you wish to restore volume in a more controlled and natural way.

​

What to Expect

​

Treatment involves a series of small injections of hyaluronidase into the area of concern. The enzyme works to break down the filler, with changes often visible within hours, although full results may take a few days to develop.

A patch test is required at least 72 hours prior to treatment to ensure suitability and to minimise the risk of an adverse reaction.

Following treatment, you may experience some swelling, redness or tenderness in the treated area. This is usually temporary and settles within a few days.

In some cases, more than one session may be required to achieve the desired result, particularly if a larger volume of filler is present.

Frequently Asked Questions

​

​

What is hyaluronidase?

​

Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid, which is the main component of most dermal fillers. This allows the filler to be dissolved and naturally absorbed by the body.

Elective filler dissolve can help to:

• Correct overfilled or unnatural results

• Improve asymmetry

• Treat filler migration

​

How many treatments will I need?

​

Some clients achieve their desired result after a single treatment. However, additional sessions may be required depending on the amount and type of filler present.  This will be discussed with you during your consultation.

​

When will I see results?

​

You may notice changes within hours of treatment, with continued improvement over the following few days as the filler is broken down and absorbed.

Downtime is usually minimal, although you may experience temporary swelling, redness or mild bruising.

Most clients return to normal activities shortly after treatment, with appropriate aftercare advice provided.
