Dermal Filler Dissolving (Hyaluronidase)

at Omniya Clinic in London

If you’re unhappy with the results of dermal filler, whether due to lumps, migration, uneven texture, or a personal choice, our medical team can safely and effectively correct it using hyaluronidase. This enzyme gently breaks down hyaluronic acid (HA) filler, allowing your features to return to their natural balance.

At Omniya Clinic in Knightsbridge, all treatments are carried out by trained medical professionals in our CQC-registered environment. Hyaluronidase injections are carefully tailored to each patient, ensuring precise correction and minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. Visible improvement is typically seen within 24-48 hours, with your natural contours restored shortly after.

What Is Hyaluronidase?

Hyaluronidase is an enzyme, and prescription medication, that breaks down hyaluronic acid (HA) – the same naturally occurring sugar molecule found in the skin and used in most dermal fillers. When carefully injected, it accelerates your body’s natural process of absorbing and clearing unwanted filler, allowing your features to return to their natural balance.

This treatment is commonly used to correct overfilling, migration, asymmetry and lumps or bumps that can sometimes appear under the eyes. At Omniya Clinic, our medical practitioners use hyaluronidase with precision to restore smoothness, symmetry, and confidence safely.

When to Consider Filler Dissolving

Choosing to dissolve filler can be a proactive way to restore natural balance and harmony to your features. At Omniya Clinic, patients often seek hyaluronidase treatment when they’re unhappy with the look or feel of a previous filler treatment, whether due to aesthetic preferences or medical reasons. Our goal is always to help you achieve a result that looks natural, refreshed, and in proportion.

Common reasons to consider filler dissolving include:

  • Overfilling: when too much filler has been used, creating puffiness or loss of natural contours
  • Migration: filler that has moved beyond its intended area (for example, above the lip line)
  • Asymmetry: unevenness or imbalance between facial features
  • Under-eye concerns: puffiness or the blue-grey Tyndall effect after tear-trough filler
  • Lumps or nodules: visible or palpable irregularities beneath the skin
  • Complications or poor results: addressing issues from treatment performed elsewhere

 

Our clinicians take time to assess your filler type, placement, and desired outcome before treatment. In some cases, a partial dissolve is recommended to refine rather than remove results completely, ensuring subtle, precise correction and optimal facial balance.

The Filler Dissolving Process: What to Expect

At Omniya Clinic in Knightsbridge, your safety and comfort come first. Every hyaluronidase treatment is performed by a qualified medical professional and tailored to your individual needs, whether you’re seeking a complete removal or a subtle refinement of existing filler.

Consultation

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation. We take a full medical history, review the type and placement of filler you’ve had, and discuss your goals, from partial correction to full reversal. This step ensures that treatment is appropriate and that you fully understand what to expect.

Treatment

The skin is cleansed, and numbing cream can be applied for comfort. Using a fine needle, hyaluronidase is carefully injected into the areas where the unwanted filler sits. The enzyme begins to break down hyaluronic acid immediately, and many patients notice softening or visible change within minutes. Results typically refine over the next 24-48 hours as the body clears the dissolved product.

Follow-Up

We usually schedule a review to assess the final result and discuss whether any additional sessions or refill treatments are desired once the area has settled. Your clinician will guide you through safe timing for future enhancement, if appropriate.

What Hyaluronidase Can and Can’t Dissolve

Hyaluronidase specifically works on hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers: the most common and reversible filler type used today. It cannot dissolve non-HA fillers such as calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA), poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), or PMMA. If you’re unsure which product you’ve had, we’ll help identify it before proceeding to ensure the safest and most effective treatment.

Aftercare and Safety

Following hyaluronidase treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness for 24-72 hours. The under-eye area may remain slightly puffy for a little longer, depending on skin sensitivity and filler density. Avoid makeup on treated areas for 24 hours, and refrain from strenuous exercise, heat exposure, saunas, or alcohol for 48 hours.

Your clinician will usually schedule a review at 1–2 weeks to assess the outcome once any swelling has subsided. In some cases, such as with dense or long-standing filler, a second session may be recommended to achieve complete correction.

Safety, Allergies and Suitability

Hyaluronidase has been safely used in medicine for decades, both in aesthetics and medical practice. Like all treatments, it carries some risk, which will be discussed during your consultation. Temporary effects may include redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness in the treated area.

Allergic reactions are rare, but your clinician will review your medical history and obtain informed consent before treatment. Please inform us if you have a history of severe allergies. Hyaluronidase may also temporarily reduce small amounts of your body’s natural hyaluronic acid, this naturally replenishes over time.

Treatment is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or if you have an active skin infection in the area. Our doctors will always ensure that dissolving treatment is safe and appropriate for you before proceeding.

Dermal Filler Dissolving (Hyaluronidase) FAQs

How long does it take for Hyaluronidase to work?

Results can often be seen within 24-48 hours after the injection, with complete dissolution occurring over a few days.

Is the Hyaluronidase injection procedure painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort. A topical anaesthetic can be applied to the treatment area to enhance comfort.

Are there any side effects of Hyaluronidase injections?

Common side effects include redness, swelling, and tenderness at the injection site. These typically resolve within a few days.

Can Hyaluronidase dissolve all types of fillers?

Hyaluronidase specifically dissolves hyaluronic acid-based fillers. It is not effective on other types of fillers, such as collagen or calcium hydroxyapatite.

How many Hyaluronidase treatments will I need?

The number of treatments depends on the amount and type of filler to be dissolved. Most patients require only one session, but additional treatments may be necessary.

Will Hyaluronidase affect my natural hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronidase can break down both injected and natural hyaluronic acid, but your body quickly replenishes its natural hyaluronic acid.

How should I prepare for a Hyaluronidase injection?

Avoid alcohol, blood thinners, and certain supplements (like fish oil) for a few days before the procedure to minimise bruising and swelling.

What should I do after a Hyaluronidase injection?

Avoid strenuous activities, excessive sun exposure, and touching the treated area for at least 24 hours post-treatment.

Can I get new fillers after dissolving the old ones?

Yes, you can get new fillers after the old ones have been dissolved. Your practitioner will advise you on the appropriate waiting period.

Is Hyaluronidase safe?

Yes, when performed by experienced medical professionals. Hyaluronidase has been safely used in medicine for decades, and is a key part of safe aesthetic practice. At Omniya Clinic, we use only regulated, medical-grade products and perform a detailed consultation to ensure suitability before treatment.

Can Hyaluronidase be used in all areas of the face?

Yes, Hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve fillers in various areas, including the lips, cheeks, and under the eyes.

Will I see immediate results after the injection?

Some reduction in filler volume can be seen immediately, but full results are usually visible within 24-48 hours.

Can Hyaluronidase help with filler lumps and bumps?

Yes, Hyaluronidase is effective in smoothing out lumps and bumps caused by uneven filler distribution.

Can pregnant or breastfeeding women get Hyaluronidase injections?

Hyaluronidase injections are generally not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Consult your practitioner for personalised advice.

Will dissolving filler make me look older?

No. Hyaluronidase simply removes excess or misplaced filler – it doesn’t cause premature ageing. Some patients feel their face looks slightly flatter immediately after treatment, but this is temporary and usually reflects the removal of overfilled areas. Your skin and natural hyaluronic acid quickly rebalance over time.

 

How soon will I see results after filler dissolving?

Results can be visible within minutes, though mild swelling can temporarily mask the final outcome. Most patients see a clear improvement within 24-48 hours as the enzyme breaks down the filler and the area settles.

Does hyaluronidase hurt?

Discomfort is minimal. A topical numbing cream can be applied before treatment, and the injection itself feels like a small sting or mild pressure. The procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes and you can return to normal activities the same day.

Can I have new filler after dissolving?

Yes, once the area has fully settled. Most patients can safely have new filler placed, depending on how quickly swelling resolves. Your clinician will advise on the ideal timing for your individual case to ensure even, long-lasting results.

Can hyaluronidase dissolve all types of filler?

Hyaluronidase only works on hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, such as Juvéderm, Teosyal, or Restylane. It does not affect non-HA fillers like calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) or poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). If you’re unsure what filler you’ve had, we’ll assess the area and review your history before treatment.

How much does filler dissolving cost?

Treatment costs depend on the size and complexity of the area, but Hyaluronidase injections at Omniya Clinic start from £250. A personalised plan and exact cost are discussed during your consultation.

Can hyaluronidase be used under the eyes?

Yes, hyaluronidase is often used to treat under-eye filler issues such as puffiness and lumps. Because the under-eye skin is delicate, treatment should always be performed by an experienced medical professional for precise, safe correction.
