Dermal Filler

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. These gel-like substances, often made from hyaluronic acid, are strategically injected beneath the skin to:

• Plump thin lips
• Enhance shallow contours
• Soften facial creases and wrinkles
• Improve the appearance of recessed scars
• Reconstruct contour deformities in the face
• Decrease or remove the shadow of the lower lids

The effects of dermal fillers are immediate and can last anywhere from 6 months to over a year, depending on the type of filler used and the area treated. This non-surgical procedure offers a quick, effective way to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance with minimal downtime.

Dissolution of Dermal Filler

Dermal filler dissolution is a procedure used to remove or reduce the effects of previously injected hyaluronic acid-based fillers. This process involves injecting an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which breaks down hyaluronic acid.

Key points about dermal filler dissolution:

• Purpose: To correct overfilling, asymmetry, or address any complications from filler treatments.
• Process: A small amount of hyaluronidase is injected into the area where the filler was placed.
• Speed: Results can be seen within 24-48 hours, with full effects visible after a few days.
• Specificity: Only affects hyaluronic acid-based fillers, not other types of fillers.
• Safety: Generally considered safe when performed by a qualified professional, but allergy testing may be required.

Dissolution offers patients flexibility and reassurance, knowing that the effects of hyaluronic acid fillers can be reversed if desired or necessary. It's an important tool in ensuring patient satisfaction and safety in aesthetic treatments.
