Filler Dissolving With Hylenex®
Expert Filler Reversal & Correction in Fairview Heights, IL
True beauty means having options. If you’re unhappy with your filler results or your aesthetic preferences have evolved, filler reversal with Hylenex offers a fresh start. At Pure 111, our skilled injectors can reverse unwanted fillers, addressing concerns like overinflation, migration or asymmetry while giving you the freedom to redefine your appearance on your own terms.
What Is Hylenex?
Hylenex is a filler dissolver that contains hyaluronidase, an enzyme that helps break down hyaluronic acid (HA) in the body. When injected, it quickly breaks down HA-based dermal fillers, allowing your body to naturally metabolize and remove the filler material.
This specialized treatment gives you peace of mind knowing that if you’re unhappy with your filler results or experience unwanted side effects, we can safely dissolve the filler and restore your natural appearance.
When Is Filler Dissolving Necessary?
While complications or dissatisfaction with dermal fillers is rare at Pure 111, there are some situations where dissolving fillers becomes beneficial or even necessary, such as:
- Dissatisfaction with your final results
- Migration or asymmetry that creates an uneven appearance
- Overfilling; too much product used or accumulated over multiple treatments
- Filler-related blood vessel blockage (vascular occlusion)
- Lumps or nodules under the skin
- Tyndall effect, a rare phenomenon that causes a bluish discoloration
At Pure 111, our rigorous training helps us avoid these issues in the first place. However, we also recognize that clients may receive treatments elsewhere with less-than-satisfactory results. We’re proud to offer dissolving services, letting you go back to the drawing board and achieve the beautiful look you originally wanted or simply restore your natural appearance.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Before
At Pure 111, your experience begins with a thorough consultation where our expert injectors evaluate the filler area, discuss your concerns and create a personalized treatment plan. We take time to understand both the type of filler present and your desired outcome, ensuring we address your specific needs while setting realistic expectations for the reversal process.
During
The treatment itself is quick and straightforward, typically taking just 10-15 minutes to complete. After cleansing the area, we may apply a topical numbing cream for your comfort before precisely injecting the Hylenex into the unwanted filler. Our skilled providers monitor the area as the enzyme begins working, sometimes applying gentle massage for enhanced distribution.
After
Following your Hylenex treatment, the dissolution process begins immediately, with most clients experiencing significant improvement within 24-48 hours. We’ll provide you with personalized aftercare instructions and schedule any necessary follow-ups to ensure your complete satisfaction. While you may experience temporary redness or swelling at the injection site, these effects typically subside quickly as your tissue returns to its natural state.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for fillers to dissolve?
The Hylenex enzyme begins working immediately upon injection, with noticeable softening often visible within hours. Most patients see significant improvement within 24-48 hours, though complete dissolution may take up to a week, depending on the type and amount of filler present. Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane respond quickly to Hylenex, while more cohesive fillers may take slightly longer to fully dissolve.
Can all fillers be dissolved?
No, only fillers made with hyaluronic acid can be dissolved with Hylenex. Semi-permanent fillers and biostimulators like Sculptra, Radiesse and Bellafill are made with different ingredients that can’t be broken down with hyaluronidase.
Are there any risks associated with filler dissolving?
As with any injection, there is always a risk of infection. Bruising, swelling, pain at the injection site and allergic reactions may also occur. Hyaluronidase can also dissolve your own native hyaluronic acid, leading to a temporary loss in fullness and volume in treated areas. Fortunately, this effect tends to be minimal and your body replenishes natural hyaluronic acid over time.
Will I need more than one treatment session?
While many patients achieve their desired results with just one Hylenex treatment, some situations may require additional sessions. Factors that influence this include the quantity of filler present, how long it has been in place and the specific product used. During your consultation, our expert injectors will assess your unique situation and provide a realistic timeline, including whether multiple sessions might be necessary.
