Filler Dissolving Treatment Guide

What is a Filler Dissolving?

Filler dissolving uses hyaluronidase — an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid filler — to reverse unwanted, migrated, lumpy, or overdone filler. It is also used urgently to treat a vascular occlusion, a rare but serious filler complication.

A small amount of enzyme is injected into the treated area, and the filler breaks down within 24 to 48 hours. Mild swelling is normal; you will see the area settle over a day or two, and you can usually re-filler after about two weeks if you want a fresh, corrected result.

Dissolving is priced per area or per session — not by the syringe — and is far cheaper than the filler it removes. Many providers charge a flat fee per session. Ask whether the price is per area, whether a patch test is done, and how much they expect you will need.

How much does a Filler Dissolving cost?

Filler dissolving nationally typically costs $250 to $500 per session — a flat per-area fee for the hyaluronidase enzyme, not the price of a syringe of filler. Larger amounts of old filler or multiple areas can require more enzyme or a second visit, which raises the total.

What to ask your provider

• Do you do a patch test for hyaluronidase before treating?
• Is this priced per area or per session, and what is your rate?
• How much filler do you think I have, and will one visit be enough?
• How long until it fully settles, and when can I re-filler?
• Have you managed a vascular occlusion — what is your emergency protocol?
• What should I expect the area to look like right after?
