Dissolve session with Hylanex

A dissolve session is a safe and effective treatment that removes unwanted or excess hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers. It uses a natural enzyme called hyaluronidase (brand names include Hylanex or Liporase) to gently break down and dissolve the filler so your lips, face, or other areas can return to a more natural look.

This is a popular option for patients who want to:

• Correct overfilled or “duck lips”

• Fix migrated, lumpy, or uneven filler

• Remove old filler before getting a fresh treatment

• Address asymmetry or results they no longer like

• Manage rare complications (such as vascular occlusion)

What Happens During Your Session

• Consultation — The doctor assesses the area, discusses your goals, and explains how much dissolving is needed.

• Numbing — A topical anesthetic is applied to keep you comfortable.

• Treatment — Small injections of Hylanex / hyaluronidase are placed precisely into the areas with filler. The session usually takes 15–30 minutes.

• Immediate Effect — You may notice the filler softening within minutes to hours.

Most patients need 1–2 sessions for full results, depending on how much filler is present.

Recovery & Aftercare

• Mild swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness is common and usually settles in 1–3 days.

• You can return to most daily activities right away.

• Avoid heavy exercise, alcohol, and touching the area for 24 hours.

• Ice the area gently if needed.

• Full results are visible in 24–72 hours, though complete dissolving may take up to a week.

We recommend waiting at least 2 weeks after dissolving before getting new filler.
