What Does Hyaluronidase Feel Like When It Dissolves Filler?

Getting filler can be very exciting, except if you look in the mirror and don’t love your results. Maybe too much filler was used, the shape looks off, or you’ve simply changed your mind.

Fortunately, hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers can be dissolved using hyaluronidase. So, what does hyaluronidase feel like? Is it painful? Curious how soon your face will go back to normal?

Here’s what you need to know about the process when reversing filler at Capital Aesthetic + Laser Center.

Does Hyaluronidase Hurt?

The process of dissolving filler is extremely tolerable. You may feel a pinch or sting but it isn’t very painful at all. Before treatment, one of our providers will apply a topical numbing cream to improve comfort.

Bottom line, the experience doesn’t feel dramatically different from having filler placed. Your appointment should take no more than 15 to 30 minutes.

What Does It Feel Like Afterward?

After hyaluronidase treatment, you may experience some swelling, tenderness, redness, or sensitivity. These side effects usually go away within a week.

One thing to keep in mind is that dissolving filler doesn’t mean it’s instantly gone.

It can take 24 to 48 hours before you start seeing a noticeable reduction. However, you may not see your final results for up to two weeks.

The timeline is greatly impacted by filler density. If you have stubborn or migrated filler, you may need more than one session to get rid of it completely.

Unhappy With Your Filler Results? Dissolve It!

Sick of your overfilled lips or cheeks? With hyaluronidase, you aren’t stuck waiting six or more months with dermal filler results you don’t love to fade on their own.

Our providers at Capital Aesthetic + Laser Center have years of experience dissolving filler. The best part is that afterward, you can trust us to create the look you want.
