What to Expect
We will carry out an allergy patch-test on your arm to check that you are not allergic to the enzyme. The area of treatment will be cleaned and numbing cream will be applied. Once the area is numb, and provided there was no sign of allergy, we will start the treatment. The process of injection is normally no longer than 5 minutes. After treatment, we will apply aftercare cream and discuss how best to look after the area that has been treated.

Why get treated
There are many reasons for dissolving, often patients will come to us from others clinics seeking dissolving of previous work. Also mentioned above injecting isn’t a perfect science. There are variations in all anatomy, tissues and how filler will behave in them. With that said there are some foreseeable issues that can adjust for with placement, technique, and product, however some are beyond our control and this is where tweaking of adding more filler, or mild dissolving may be required.
Frequently Asked Questions
faq
Is dissolving dermal filler painful?
Dissolving filler is not painful. We provide numbing cream, numbing injections and skin cooling to minimise any discomfort.
Are there any side effects?
As with any injection, it is possible that you may experience some redness, swelling, tenderness and bruising. These may take a 2-3 days to resolve and bruises sometimes longer.
