FILLER DISOLVING
Hyaluronic acid (HA) based fillers can be dissolved with a product called Hyaluronidase. This is an enzyme that can take up to two weeks to work. It functions by breaking down the bonds of
HA, speeding up the body’s natural process. The injected filler will begin to soften and break down almost instantly. Individuals can seek filler dissolving for multiple reasons.
Lip fillers are the most dissolved cosmetic procedure in the industry. Clients often want the fuller, shapely, natural-looking lips. At Southern Bloom Aesthetics, we hold our treatments to an incredibly high standard. We may advise that dissolving fillers prior to filling is the best way to achieve your desired result.
This is often necessary when a client is looking to achieve more volumes lips maintaining a flat side profile or a more crisp border. A client may also seek dissolving if the filler seems to have migrated or moved from its original placement.

The side effects of treatment are minimal, but because it is injected into the skin, there is always a possibility of bruising and swelling at the injection site. This is a temporary and completely normal side effect, and it will resolve within hours to days after treatment.
For best results, avoid blood thinning medications (with a doctor’s permission) and herbal supplements 1-2 weeks prior to injections (Advil, Motrin, Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Vitamin E, Fish Oil, CoQ10, Ginkgo, St. John’s Wort, Omega, Garlic)
Also avoid blood thinning beverages (such as alcohol) 1-2 weeks prior to injections and 24 hours after injections. Increasing vitamin K intake (green leafy vegetables) 1-2 weeks prior to injections and antioxidant intake will help to strengthen capillary walls (Arnica cream or tablets). Please come to your appointment with a clean face (NO MAKEUP!) to minimize risk of infection.

Permanent.
Often only one dissolve session is required. However, if the area has larger tough nodules or large areas of migration, further dissolve sessions may be advised. If the filler has built up over time and is older, it can crease scar tissue.
Frequently, clients expect bigger lips to break down over long periods of time. However, if you have big, hard lips, the enzymes in the body may find it problematic to break down the filler.
This can result in your natural hyaluronic acid being broken down as a substitute, which can amplify signs of ageing.
We recommend that if you do have migrated filler, you tackle it as soon as possible.
