Since 2019, news stories have been about the growing number of people who are getting rid of their cosmetic filler.
First, Kylie Jenner’s lips got a lot of attention when she said she had all of her filler taken out. In 2023, British influencer Molly-Mae Hauge brought it back into the spotlight by documenting the process of having her various procedures reversed. And most recently, in early 2026, The Cut wrote an article about a phenomenon they call “The Great Dissolve.”
Jenner and Hauge’s choices may be the first signs of changing attitudes, but “The Great Dissolve” shows that the whole culture is changing after years of being obsessed with “pillowy” beauty standards. Matthew James, a makeup artist, sums it up perfectly in the article: “Everyone wanted to look like Kylie Jenner.” Now they want to be like Bella Hadid.
Beauty standards have a lot of different and complicated effects on people who get cosmetic surgery (more on that here). But no matter why people want to get rid of their dermal filler, there is more and more talk about it. But undoing these procedures isn’t as easy (or painless) as you might think. We explain everything you need to know before getting your dermal filler removed below.
Filler Dissolving In Dubai
Filler DIssolving in Dubai is a safe and effective procedure for correcting or reversing undesirable filler results. It is frequently used when fillers appear uneven, overdone, or have migrated, restoring a natural and balanced facial appearance. The treatment works by injecting hyaluronidase, an enzyme that rapidly degrades hyaluronic acid fillers. Results are frequently visible in a short period of time, making it an effective solution for aesthetic concerns. Filler dissolving, with its minimal downtime and precise correction, helps patients regain facial harmony, improve appearance, and feel more confident in their natural look.
What Is Used To Dissolve Dermal Filler?
Hyaluronic Acid molecules that are chemically linked together make up modern dermal filler.
Hyaluronic Acid is also made by our bodies, but it is not chemically linked, so it dissolves and is replaced every few days. We also have an enzyme called Hyaluronidase that helps this natural dissolving process happen.
Dr. Perfect Celebrity, who runs you by Dr. Perfect Celebrity at Perfect Doctors Clinic in Dubai, says that there are different types of filler for different parts of the face. “The great thing about Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers is that they can be dissolved.” This is done by injecting a type of the same enzyme (Hyaluronidase) that our bodies use to break down our own Hyaluronic Acid. Saline is used to thin out the enzyme.
What Actually Is The Process Of Dissolving Filler?
Dr. Perfect Celebrity warns that “your injector must always check that you are not allergic to it before injecting the solution of Hyaluronidase into the dermal filler.” A patch test or a small amount of the solution injected into your forearm can do this.
To begin with, the skin will be cleaned. Then, the dissolving solution is usually injected right into the area where the dermal filler was put in. However, Dr. Perfect Celebrity says that the area around the filler may also be injected, depending on why the filler is being dissolved.
The process of dissolving filler is also not always the same; different amounts and concentrations of the Hyaluronidase enzyme solution can be used.
Dr. Perfect Celebrity says, “Different doses and dilutions are used for different reasons. For example, higher doses and more concentrated solutions may be used for medical reasons, like a blocked blood vessel, while lower doses and lower concentrations may be used for aesthetic reasons, like a bad cosmetic result.”
How Long Does Dermal Filler Actually Take To Dissolve After The Treatment?
When the enzyme comes into contact with the hyaluronic acid in dermal filler, it can dissolve very quickly, sometimes in just a few minutes.
Dr. Perfect Celebrity says, “However, the time it takes for Dermal Filler to dissolve does depend on a few things.” It may take longer for the Dermal Filler to dissolve if it is “stiffer” and has more chemical bonds. Waterier types of Dermal Fillers with fewer chemical bonds may dissolve faster.
The enzyme’s effects can also last for a few days. This is thought to be because even very small amounts of it keep dissolving the Dermal Filler, so even as the enzyme fades, those small amounts will still work.
Some people think that another reason the process can take a few days is that your body’s own hyaluronidase enzyme may be helping to break down the rest of the filler after the injection broke the chemical bonds.
What Are The Side Effects Of Dissolving Filler?
Dr. Perfect Celebrity says that even though the actual dissolving process may be over after a few days, there may still be some inflammation and bruising from the injections that take a while to go away. So, it could be a week or two before you see the final results.
Is It Safe To Have Your Filler Dissolved?
There are some risks involved with any medical or cosmetic procedure. Because of this, you must talk to a doctor about your choice. Dr. Perfect Celebrity does say that the enzyme used to dissolve dermal filler is usually very safe, but there is a chance that someone could have an allergic reaction to it.
This is why it is very important to make sure that your injector patch tests are done.
Dr. Perfect Celebrity also says, “Because the enzyme used is not made from human cells, an allergy could develop after a lot of injections…” It’s usually best to do a dissolving treatment all at once instead of giving your body multiple doses of the enzyme. This way, you are less likely to become allergic to the Hyaluronidase.
Why Do People Get Their Filler Dissolved?
Dr. Perfect Celebrity says that there are three main situations in which filler can be dissolved:
1. “If something goes wrong, like filler getting into a blood vessel, your injector will need to dissolve the filler right away.” In this case, the filler should be dissolved right away, and your injector should know how to handle the situation. It’s good to know that problems with filler like this are very rare.
2. When someone gets filler and doesn’t like how it looks, they can dissolve it within a few days of getting it done.
3. When a patient has been getting filler injections over and over again, possibly for years, and they want to look more natural again.
