About

WHAT IS FILLER DISSOLVING?

Filler dissolving is a corrective treatment that uses an enzyme called hyaluronidase to break down hyaluronic acid–based dermal fillers. It's performed when filler results are undesirable, uneven, or causing complications. The enzyme works quickly to dissolve the filler, allowing practitioners to correct overfilled areas, address asymmetry, or completely reverse previous filler treatments.

COMMON REASONS FOR TREATMENT:

  • Overfilled or unnatural-looking results
  • Uneven or asymmetrical filler placement
  • Migration of filler to unwanted areas
  • Vascular complications or blocked blood vessels
  • Dissatisfaction with previous filler treatment
  • Preparing for a fresh start with new filler

Process

What to Expect

A qualified practitioner injects hyaluronidase enzyme into the areas where filler needs to be dissolved. The enzyme breaks down the hyaluronic acid molecules, which are then naturally absorbed and eliminated by the body. Results are typically visible within 24–48 hours, though additional sessions may be needed for complete removal.

Dr Rebecca is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. She provides so much information and never pressurises your decisions. She is the ideal aesthetician. I have been anxious about getting aesthetic treatments, but having a medical professional, who is bound by the Hiccocratic Oath, made me feel much more confident that her skills are products are top quality. I also loved that Dr Rebecca recommends minimising the level of treatment and building upon it, rather than using a heavy hand. This gave me much more control over my own treatment plan. I am so pleased with my results. The change is subtle and very natural, and I do not look frozen or strange. I could not recommend the Shore Skin clinic enough.

After nearly a year of suffering with constant under-eye swelling from poorly placed filler by previous aesthetics providers, I finally found someone who truly knew what they were doing — Karen at KC Aesthetic in Long Eaton. I had visited doctors, spent half the year on antibiotics and penicillin, and got nowhere. No one seemed to know what was wrong or how to fix it. The swelling was not only physically uncomfortable but really affected my confidence. From the moment I walked into Karen’s clinic, I felt reassured. She took one look and immediately recognised what the issue was — filler placed incorrectly in the tear trough area. She explained everything clearly and professionally, and safely dissolved the old filler that same visit. The results were honestly life-changing. The swelling went down, my face finally looked like me again, and for the first time in months, I felt like I could relax and trust someone in this industry. Karen’s knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care are unmatched. I only wish I had found her sooner. If you’ve had a bad experience elsewhere or are nervous about getting aesthetic work done, I can’t recommend KC Aesthetic highly enough. She truly knows what she’s doing, and she puts your safety and wellbeing first — exactly as it should be. She is such a lovely person and I am over the moon with my results 😍 don’t go to other people who are not qualified pay that little bit extra and get the best, sadly it took me years of failed treatments by non professionals, their social media may look good but qualifications and knowledge they don’t have. I can now feel confident enough to have a photograph done without deleting it.

After a disastrous experience with filler by another clinic I came to Dr Kathryn to dissolve it. If you are debating whether to contact Kathryn... do it. Distance and cost should not come into it when it comes to procedures for your face. Just wish I had taken more time to read reviews and had come to Kathryn in the first place. She didn't judge me and made me feel so much better about the situation. Looking forward to coming back in a few weeks. Thank you so much x

Fixed some badly placed fillers I had somewhere else. Thank you so much - very professional and knowledgeable but most importantly not pushy and very honest. Will be back for future treatments for sure! Very impressed!

Dr Saetta really understands the face and also the psychology involved when things aren't right. I'm working with her at the moment to refine and dissolve some filler that was injected by another practitioner. We marked out the areas really carefully and she's using a very careful and steady approach. I could see the results instantly and I'm happy to be working with her going forward

Absolutely wonderful team at Dr Leah’s clinic Loughton. From start to finish, the lovely lady at reception was so kind, caring & reassuring. I had the pleasure of seeing Dr Sidra Shakir who was incredible. She was thorough, caring, professional & talked me through everything. The clinic is perfect, clean, tidy & immaculate. I had filler taken out, which had formed a small hard lump by my right eye & wouldn’t go down over time! So I needed confidence that I was in the right hands, which I certainly was with Dr Sidra Shakir. I had 2 appointments with Dr Shakir, consultation & test patch and the 2nd appointment was Hyaluronidase. Every injection was done with care & thorough attention. I literally can’t thank her enough, she explained everything to me, made me feel safe & gave me confidence back in the Anaesthetic world! Please note the filler was NOT by any of Dr Leah’s team! Would highly recommend! Best of the Best

I was referred to Dr Raj by my usual beauty therapist. I had received some filters years before elsewhere and they had left me with swelling and a cyst which looked awful. I was extremely anxious to get things sorted as my son was getting married in less than 3 weeks. He rang and discussed the issues with me and saw me later that day. He scanned my face to check what was happening under my skin. He treated me there and then, after discussing all options available to me. I am so pleased with the results and it's only the day after. I have a follow up appointment in a week to check things are OK. I cannot thank Dr Raj and his lovely friendly staff at the clinic enough. I can now look forward to the wedding without worrying what I will look like on the photographs.
