Filler Reversal
Filler reversal is a cosmetic procedure that involves the removal of dermal fillers from the face using a specialised enzyme called ‘Hyaluronidase’. The procedure is performed to reverse the effects of a previously administered dermal filler.
Hyaluronidase is a naturally occurring enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid, the main component of most dermal fillers. When injected into the treated area, it dissolves the filler, allowing it to be reabsorbed by the body.
Filler reversal may be necessary if a patient is unhappy with the results of their filler treatment, or if they experience complications such as allergic reactions, infection, or migration of the filler. It is also sometimes performed as a preparatory step before undergoing a different cosmetic procedure that requires a different approach. Overall, filler reversal provides patients with the option to correct or modify their appearance in a safe and effective way.
Treatment Time: 60 minutes, including consultation.
Recovery Time: No significant downtime, some potential swelling for 24-48 hours.
