Dermal filler type that most common use presently is Hyaluronic acid dermal filler, which is known in various brand names such as Juvederm, Restylane, Teosyal, Stylarge, Alexin and Boletero etc, is dissolvable dermal filler. Hyaluronic acid Dermal filler can be dissolved by the injection of Hyaluronidaese enzyme which take 1-2 weeks to work. There are many reasons that the filler has to be dissolve or has been requested to be dissolved for example:
- Over filled
- The filler has moved or spread to other areas
- Lumps and unevenness of dermal filler result
- Asymmetrical result
- Allergic reaction: swelling
- Late reaction: swelling lump at the filler areas which commonly see at tear through areas even a few months after the filler has been injected.
- Infection
Infection nearby the areas of dermal filler can cause immune reaction that cause swelling and tender hard lump at the areas that has dermal filler.
The process of Dermal filler dissolving.
- Consultation: Our doctors will examine the areas and discuss with you to determine the areas that need to be dissolve and explain the procedure, risk and after dissolving plan.
- Patch test: As there is a small chance of allergic reaction of Hyaluronidase enzyme, a patch test by injecting a small amount of the enzyme at one of your arms is needed to eliminate risk of the allergic reaction. You will need to wait 30 minutes at the clinic to see the result of the patch test. Sign of allergic reaction are swelling, rash and redness at the injection site. If there is non sign of allergy, the Hyaluronidase will be injected to the decided areas.
- Numbing cream can be applied on the areas that need dissolving 15-20 minutes before the injection.
- Hyalurodidase enzyme injection at the affected / problematic areas
After care
It is recommended not to touch or apply any make up on treated areas for 6 hours to prevent infection. Any swelling can be reduced by taking antihistamine. Bruising can be reduced with Arnica cream or tablets.
