Dissolving Dermal Fillers: What You Need to Know
Welcome back to the Bonne Vie Medical blog. Today, we're unpacking a vital aspect of dissolving dermal fillers. Whether you're considering fillers for the first time or are an experienced user, understanding the ins and outs of dissolving fillers is key to managing your aesthetic journey effectively.
The Role of Hyaluronidase in Dissolving Fillers
Enter hyaluronidase, the hero enzyme capable of dissolving hyaluronic acid-based fillers. It's a naturally occurring substance in our bodies, playing a crucial role in reversing the effects of hyaluronic acid fillers. When injected, hyaluronidase breaks down the filler, allowing your body to absorb it, essentially "erasing" the filler's effects.
Addressing Potential Allergies
While filler dissolution is generally safe, allergic reactions to filler dissolution can occur. It’s crucial to inform us about any allergies you have. Before we begin, we conduct a patch test before applying fillers to ensure your safety.
What to Expect During the Dissolution Process
The process is swift and straightforward. After the consultation, the targeted area is treated with hyaluronidase injections. Results can be seen almost immediately, with the full effect unfolding over the next 24 to 48 hours. Some patients might experience mild bruising or swelling, but these side effects are typically transient and resolve quickly.
When Can I Get Filler Again in the Same Area?
After dissolving dermal fillers with hyaluronidase, you'll need to wait 1-2 weeks before getting fillers injected again in the same area. This interval ensures that the hyaluronidase doesn't interfere with the new filler, allowing it to work effectively without breaking down prematurely.
