Professional Filler Dissolving Services in London

Our specialized filler dissolving procedure is designed to address a variety of concerns arising from previous injections. Using a targeted approach, we help you achieve the following:

Correct filler migration

Resolve issues where the dermal product has moved from the initial injection site into surrounding tissues.

Reverse overfilled areas

Reduce an excessive amount of filler that may be causing a “puffy” or unnatural facial appearance.

Restore facial symmetry

Dissolve the gel in specific areas where placement has resulted in an unbalanced or lopsided look.

Break down problematic filler

Address lumps, nodules, or late-onset inflammatory responses caused by the injected material.

Prepare for new filler

Clear away old, degraded, or unwanted dermal product to create a “blank canvas” for a more precise future lip augmentation or contouring.

Emergency reversal

Provide immediate dissolving injections in the rare event of vascular compromise or severe complications from a previous treatment.

The process of dissolving involves injecting a specialized enzyme that works to break down the filler naturally over a short period. It is a highly effective way of reversing gel that was placed incorrectly or has become aesthetically unpleasing.

Aftercare

When getting dissolving treatments, we recommend that you avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24 hours. We advise that you don’t touch the treated area for at least 6 hours. If you have any concerns, you can always contact us, and we will answer any questions or concerns regarding dermal products, dissolving, and other enquiries.

We’ll give you full guidance after your appointment, but a few key things can help:

  • Avoid intense heat (saunas/sunbeds) and heavy exercise for 48 hours.
  • Try not to touch or massage the area.
  • Keep the area clean and hydrated.
  • Some light swelling or small bruising is normal, and we’re always on hand if you have any questions. You’ll also receive a printed aftercare guide before you leave.

Frequently Asked Questions About Filler Dissolving

Absolutely. Many of our clients in London come to us for their very first aesthetic reversal treatment. We’ll take the time to explain everything — how the enzyme works, what to expect, and how we ensure your comfort. There’s no pressure to decide on the day.

The treatment is permanent as it physically removes the unwanted material. However, your natural tissues will remain. We recommend waiting at least 14 days before considering any new injections to ensure all swelling has subsided.

You’ll see immediate improvement in the reduction of unwanted volume, with optimal results visible after 2-3 days once any minor swelling subsides. Results look natural and restore your original facial character and expressions.

No. While there might be temporary swelling, the enzyme works to break down the filler so that the area feels soft and natural again. If you notice any concerns during the healing process, we’re always available to help.

The treatment typically takes 30-45 minutes including consultation and numbing time. You can return to normal activities immediately, though we recommend avoiding alcohol and intense exercise for 24 hours.
