About

Filler Dissolving and Complications management with Ultrasound

If you ever face complications or unsatisfactory results from dermal filler treatments, don't worry! There are effective solutions available, including the use of ultrasound-guided filler dissolving, to help you manage these issues and achieve the results you desire.

Complications can include things like filler migration, unevenness, overcorrection, lumps, bumps, or an unnatural look. At Integra Skinlab, our physician specializes in managing filler complications by utilizing ultrasound guidance to enhance the dissolving process. By using ultrasound imaging, they can precisely locate the problematic areas and administer the dissolving enzyme, such as hyaluronidase, directly to those areas. This targeted approach allows for the effective removal of the unwanted filler, resulting in a more natural appearance.

It is crucial to consult with an experienced and specialized practitioner who can guide you through the treatment process. 

Frequently Asked Questions

I had my fillers done at a different location. Can I have them dissolved at Integra SkinLab?

Absolutely, at Integra SkinLab, we offer dermal filler dissolving services, even if you received your fillers from another provider. Our skilled practitioners are experienced in using ultrasound guidance to target and dissolve unwanted filler, regardless of where it was initially injected. During your consultation, our team will assess your specific case and determine the best course of action to help you achieve your desired results. We prioritize your safety and satisfaction, and our goal is to provide effective solutions to address any complications or undesirable outcomes from previous filler treatments.

Does filler dissolving/ hyaluronidase treatment hurt?

The sensation experienced during hyaluronidase treatment can vary from person to person. Some individuals may feel minimal discomfort, while others may experience a slight stinging or burning sensation at the injection site. However, it's important to note that most practitioners use a topical numbing agent or mix the hyaluronidase with a local anesthetic to minimize any potential discomfort. 

Do you see immediate results after dissolving filler?

Yes, in many cases, you can see immediate results after dissolving filler. When the dissolving agent, such as hyaluronidase, is injected into the targeted area, it starts breaking down the filler material. As the filler begins to dissolve, you may notice a visible reduction in volume and an improvement in the appearance of the treated area. However, it's important to note that the full effects of the filler dissolving process may take some time to fully manifest. Additionally, some individuals may experience slight swelling or temporary redness immediately after the procedure, which can temporarily mask the final results.

Are there any side effects or risks associated with filler dissolving using ultrasound guidance?

As with any medical procedure, there can be potential risks and side effects. Common side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort at the injection site. These effects are typically temporary and subside within a few days.
