Question 1

What is lip filler dissolving and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Lip filler dissolving is a corrective treatment that safely breaks down and removes unwanted, migrated, or overfilled dermal filler. A specialist enzyme targets hyaluronic acid — the main ingredient in most lip fillers — and naturally metabolises it so your body can absorb and eliminate it. The result is a return to your natural lip shape, allowing a fresh, balanced treatment to be rebuilt if desired.

Question 2

Is the dissolving process painful?

Accepted Answer

Discomfort is minimal. We apply a topical numbing cream before the procedure, and most clients describe the sensation as a mild pinch or slight stinging as the enzyme is injected. The treatment itself is very quick — typically just a few minutes. Erin will talk you through every step to keep you comfortable and informed throughout.

Question 3

How long does it take for the filler to dissolve?

Accepted Answer

The dissolving enzyme begins working immediately, and you will usually see visible reduction within 24 to 48 hours. Full results are typically apparent after around 7 to 14 days once any residual swelling has settled. We will book a review appointment to assess the outcome and advise whether a second session is needed.

Question 4

Will dissolving damage my natural lips?

Accepted Answer

No. The dissolving enzyme only targets hyaluronic-acid-based filler — it does not harm your natural lip tissue. There is a common myth that dissolving 'eats away' your natural lips, but this is not the case when performed correctly by an experienced injector. We use precise, measured doses to dissolve only the unwanted filler while preserving your natural lip volume and structure.

Question 5

How soon can I get new filler after dissolving?

Accepted Answer

We recommend waiting a minimum of 2 weeks after dissolving before having new filler placed. This allows the enzyme to fully clear, any swelling to subside, and your natural lip shape to return so we can assess your true baseline. Rebuilding too soon can lead to an inaccurate result. Your review appointment will confirm the ideal timing for your refill.

Question 6

What is the dissolving enzyme and is it safe?

Accepted Answer

The dissolving enzyme is a naturally occurring, medically licensed enzyme widely used in aesthetics and medicine to break down hyaluronic acid. It has a long, well-established safety profile. As with any injectable, a patch test can be performed beforehand to check for allergy, and we will review your medical history during your consultation to ensure the treatment is suitable for you.

Question 7

Can all types of lip filler be dissolved?

Accepted Answer

The dissolving enzyme works on hyaluronic-acid-based fillers — which includes the vast majority of modern lip fillers. Fillers made from other materials, such as silicone or permanent synthetic compounds, cannot be dissolved this way. We will assess the type of filler you have during your consultation and advise on the best course of action.

Question 8

What should I expect during recovery after dissolving?

Accepted Answer

Recovery is straightforward. You may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or slight bruising for 1 to 3 days. We advise avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, heat, and blood-thinning medications for 24 hours after treatment. Most clients return to normal activities the same day. Any bruising can be helped with arnica cream, and our team is on hand for any post-treatment questions.

Question 9

How much does lip filler dissolving cost?

Accepted Answer

Our filler dissolving treatment starts from £100. If you are planning to refill your lips afterwards, we offer a combined Dissolve + Refill package from £230, or a Dissolve, Booster & Refill package at £300 for a complete lip reset. A free consultation is available so we can assess your needs and recommend the right option for you.

Question 10

Why might I need my lip filler dissolved?

Accepted Answer

Common reasons include filler that has migrated outside the lip border, lumps or unevenness from previous treatment, overfilled or unnatural results from another clinic, a change in personal preference, or simply wanting to start fresh. Dissolving gives you a clean slate so we can rebuild natural, symmetrical, harmonious lips tailored to your features.

Question 11

Will I need multiple dissolving sessions?

Accepted Answer

Most clients need only one session, but in cases of significant filler volume, old product, or dense filler, a second session may be required to achieve a complete reset. We will assess the amount and condition of your existing filler during your consultation and give you an honest expectation of how many sessions you are likely to need.

Question 12

What is the minimum age for lip filler dissolving?

Accepted Answer

In strict compliance with UK age restriction laws for cosmetic procedures, we enforce a zero-tolerance policy for underage aesthetics. You must be 18 years of age or older to receive treatments, including filler dissolving.

Please note that parental consent does not override this law. If you look under the age of 25, our team will respectfully ask you to present a valid, government-issued photo ID (such as a driving licence or passport) during your aesthetic consultation before any procedure can begin.
