Filler Dissolving
Here’s the thing—sometimes filler looks off. Maybe it drifted, maybe it’s too much, or maybe you’ve simply changed your mind. Our Filler Dissolving service at Leo Beauty Center uses hyaluronidase, an enzyme that melts hyaluronic-acid (HA) fillers so your features can hit reset without a scalpel in sight. In most cases you’ll notice softening within a day or two and a clean slate by the two-week mark.
Key Benefits
- Instant Fix, Progressive Polish – Hyaluronidase starts breaking down unwanted HA in minutes; visible improvement shows up in 24-48 hours, with final refinement over the next couple of weeks.
- Precision Control – We can erase a single lump or an entire over-filled area; because the enzyme targets HA only, silicone or CaHA fillers stay untouched.
- Minimal Downtime – Expect mild swelling or redness that settles within a day or two—most clients go back to normal life the same afternoon.
- Safety Back-Up – Dissolving filler can quickly clear vascular occlusions and other complications, protecting skin health and symmetry.
-
Fresh Start for Future Filler – Once the filler is gone, you can wait a simple two weeks and refill with a more natural plan if you choose.
Before Your Appointment
- Allergy Check – Tell us about any history of bee or wasp-sting reactions; hyaluronidase is contraindicated for those allergies. Cleveland Clinic
- Pause Blood Thinners & Supplements – Stop aspirin, ibuprofen, fish-oil, and alcohol 48–72 hours beforehand to reduce bruising. Cleveland Clinic
- Bring Your Filler History – Previous treatment dates, brands, and volumes help us dose accurately.
- Hydrate & Eat Well – Well-hydrated tissue heals faster and keeps swelling in check.
- Come Makeup-Free – Clean skin lets us assess color changes and inject with precision.
Aftercare and What to Expect
- First 24 Hours – Mild puffiness, redness, or tenderness are common; apply a cool compress in 10-minute intervals.
- Skip Heavy Workouts & Heat – No hot yoga, saunas, or vigorous exercise for 24 hours to keep swelling low.
- Watch the Timeline – Swelling fades quickly; you’ll see most of the dissolving effect by day two and final smoothing by week two.
- Sun & Skin Care – Use SPF 30+, avoid harsh actives for 48 hours, and stick to gentle cleansers.
- Ready for a Re-Fill? – If you plan to reinject HA filler, wait at least 14 days so residual enzyme doesn’t over-dissolve fresh product.
