FILLER DISSOLVING
OVERVIEW
Filler dissolving is a non-surgical injectable treatment using hyaluronidase, an enzyme that safely breaks down hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler. It is used to reverse, adjust or refine previous filler treatments, restoring a more natural appearance or addressing concerns such as overcorrection, migration or asymmetry.
Our approach to filler dissolving in Manchester is careful, measured and patient-focused. We begin with a detailed assessment to understand the original treatment, your current concerns and your long-term aesthetic goals. Rather than dissolving unnecessarily, we take a conservative approach — targeting specific areas where refinement is needed while preserving structure where appropriate.
Treatment is carried out with precision and respect for facial anatomy, prioritising safety and tissue integrity. In some cases, dissolving may be performed in stages to allow for gradual correction and optimal healing before considering further treatment.
The result is a softer, more balanced appearance and the opportunity to reset your aesthetic plan with clarity and confidence.
PRICING
Our pricing includes the deposit, with the remaining balance due upon completion of the treatment. There are no extra fees or hidden costs—just one straightforward price.

CONSULTATION
Before any filler dissolving treatment is carried out, a prescriber consultation is required. This is a separate medical assessment conducted to ensure that treatment is appropriate and safe. During this consultation, your medical history, current medications and any previous aesthetic treatments are carefully reviewed. You will have the opportunity to discuss your concerns, the reasons for dissolving, and your desired outcome.
The prescriber will assess the areas of existing filler and determine whether hyaluronidase is clinically indicated. This step ensures that treatment is medically justified, that there are no contraindications, and that you fully understand the benefits, limitations and potential risks. Only once suitability has been confirmed can treatment be authorised.
At your treatment appointment, an intradermal patch test is performed prior to administering hyaluronidase. Although reactions are uncommon, hyaluronidase is an enzyme and carries a small risk of allergic response. A small amount is placed just under the skin, usually on the forearm, and the area is observed for a short period to ensure there is no adverse reaction.
If the patch test is clear, treatment can proceed safely. This cautious, staged approach prioritises patient safety and provides reassurance that dissolving is carried out in a controlled, clinically responsible manner.
THE TREATMENT
Filler dissolving is a precise, clinically controlled procedure designed to break down unwanted hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler.
Following a successful prescriber consultation and clear intradermal patch test, the treatment area is cleansed thoroughly and assessed in detail. We carefully evaluate the location, depth and behaviour of the existing filler to determine the exact placement required. Hyaluronidase is then administered using a fine needle or cannula, targeting only the areas where correction is needed.
The enzyme works by breaking down the hyaluronic acid molecules within the filler, allowing the body to naturally metabolise and clear the product. Some softening can occur quite quickly, although full results typically develop over several days as the area settles. Mild swelling is common immediately after treatment and can temporarily make the area appear fuller before the dissolving process progresses.
Our approach to filler dissolving in Manchester is conservative and anatomy-led. Rather than flooding an area, we use carefully calculated amounts to achieve gradual, controlled refinement. In some cases, more than one session may be recommended to reach the desired outcome while maintaining tissue integrity.
The aim is to restore balance and softness, creating a more natural foundation — whether that means returning to baseline or preparing the area for future, more refined treatment.
You must then wait a minimum of 2 weeks before you can have any filler in the area.

SAFETY DURING THE TREATMENT
Safety is central to every stage of filler dissolving treatment. A full consultation and prescriber approval are required prior to treatment, and an intradermal patch test is performed on the day to minimise the risk of allergic reaction. Hyaluronidase is administered in carefully controlled amounts, with precise placement and a thorough understanding of facial anatomy, ensuring treatment is carried out responsibly and with patient wellbeing as the priority.
