Ultrasound Guided Cosmetic Dissolver Perth
Common Names: Filler Removal, Hylase, Hyaluronidase
At Everything Skin, we use ultrasound technology to scan beneath the skin and accurately identify the area to be treated before dissolving filler. This advanced approach allows for greater precision and safety when adjusting or reversing previous cosmetic procedures.
The dissolving process involves the use of Hyaluronidase, an enzyme that works to break down hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. Once injected, hyaluronidase targets the hyaluronic acid molecules, allowing the body’s natural processes to absorb and metabolise the material. This can help restore the treated area closer to its pre-filler state.
Cosmetic dissolver may be recommended if a patient wishes to adjust or reverse the results of a filler treatment, or when issues such as overfilling, asymmetry, or other complications arise.
We recommend booking a consultation with our practitioners, who can assess your individual needs and develop a tailored treatment plan.

What To Expect
Frequently Asked Questions
How many treatments will I need?
The number of cosmetic dissolver treatments required can vary depending on several factors, including the type of filler used, the amount present, and the duration of its placement. In many cases, one or two sessions are sufficient to achieve the desired correction. However, larger or older volumes of filler may need multiple sessions, spaced over a particular period of time to achieve a resolution specific to your situation. Your practitioner will assess your individual situation and recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Can all volumising treatments be dissolved?
Not all cosmetic treatments can be dissolved. The dissolving agent (hyaluronidase) is effective only on fillers made from hyaluronic acid, which are commonly used for areas such as the lips and cheeks. These types of fillers can usually be adjusted or reversed safely when required. However, dissolving agents cannot reverse semi-permanent or permanent treatments, such as collagen-stimulating fillers or implants. During your consultation, your practitioner will confirm whether dissolving is an appropriate option for your specific treatment.

Will it dissolve my natural hyaluronic acid?
It is common for patients to ask whether the dissolving process affects the body’s own hyaluronic acid. The enzyme used in cosmetic dissolver treatments can act on both injected filler and naturally occurring hyaluronic acid in the treated area. Any impact on your natural hyaluronic acid is temporary, as the skin naturally replenishes these levels on an ongoing basis. Your practitioner will carefully assess your needs and apply treatment in a controlled way to minimise unnecessary effects while addressing the unwanted filler.

What is recovery like?
Recovery after cosmetic dissolver treatment is typically brief and uncomplicated. Mild swelling is common in the first 24 to 48 hours, particularly in areas such as the lips or under the eyes. As this subsides, the reduction in filler becomes more noticeable, and some people may notice temporary looseness of the skin if filler had previously caused puffiness or was misplaced.
Other side effects can include redness, tenderness, bruising, itching, or mild discomfort at the injection site. These typically resolve within a few days. Following the aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner is important to support healing and achieve the best possible outcome.

What substance is used in cosmetic dissolver treatments?
Cosmetic dissolver treatments use an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This enzyme works by breaking down hyaluronic acid, the substance found in many dermal fillers. Once dissolved, the body naturally processes and absorbs the material, helping to reverse or adjust the effects of previous filler treatments.

Will cosmetic dissolver work if my previous treatment has moved?
Yes. If the dermal filler has shifted or migrated from its original placement, hyaluronidase can be used to target the affected area. The enzyme is carefully injected into the region where the filler has moved, helping to break it down so the body can naturally absorb it. Initial changes may be noticeable within the first 24 hours, although it can take up to a week for the full dissolving effect to become visible. Your practitioner will assess your situation and recommend the safest and most effective approach for you.

Will my volumising treatment dissolve naturally over time?
Some cosmetic fillers gradually break down in the body over time, but the process depends on the type of product used. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers require an enzyme called hyaluronidase to be broken down. While the body naturally produces small amounts of this enzyme, it is not consistently present in large enough quantities at the injection site to dissolve the filler quickly.
This is why hyaluronic acid fillers may remain in place for many months, and in some cases longer, before being fully metabolised. If earlier adjustment or reversal is required, a dissolver treatment may be recommended by your practitioner.

Does dissolving hurt?
The injection of hyaluronidase can cause some stinging or discomfort. To make the procedure more comfortable, it is commonly combined with a local anaesthetic. In some cases, a topical numbing cream may also be applied if multiple injections are required. Most patients find the treatment well-tolerated, and your practitioner will discuss ways to manage any discomfort during your consultation.
