TL;DR: Filler dissolving is appropriate when there is noticeable migration (filler moves from the original placement), significant asymmetry, overcorrection (too much volume), vascular compromise (filler blocking a blood vessel — emergency), or when the patient simply wants to return to their natural appearance.

Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid by cleaving the bonds between HA molecules. When injected into the area with unwanted filler, it dissolves the HA gel within 24-48 hours. It also temporarily dissolves your natural HA, which your body replenishes within days.
Only hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. This includes Juvederm, Restylane, YVOIRE, and other HA brands. Non-HA fillers like Radiesse (CaHA), Sculptra (PLLA), and permanent silicone fillers cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase.
The procedure involves small injections similar to the original filler treatment, rated 2-3 out of 10. Some patients experience mild burning or stinging at the injection site. Topical numbing cream is applied beforehand, and the entire procedure takes 10-15 minutes.
Most doctors recommend waiting 2-4 weeks after dissolving before re-injecting filler. This allows the hyaluronidase to fully clear, swelling to resolve, and your natural HA to replenish. Dr. Waleerat typically schedules re-treatment at the 3-4 week mark.
Mild swelling for 24-48 hours is normal. The dissolved area may look temporarily more deflated than before filler was originally placed, as hyaluronidase also dissolves some natural HA. This recovers within 3-5 days. Bruising is minimal in most cases.
Filler dissolving at VERZO CLINIC costs 3,000-8,000 THB depending on the area and amount of filler to be dissolved. This is significantly less than the cost of the original filler placement. The hyaluronidase product itself is relatively inexpensive.
Yes, VERZO CLINIC regularly dissolves filler placed by other clinics. During consultation, Dr. Waleerat will assess the type and amount of filler present, create a dissolution plan, and discuss re-treatment options if desired.
