Lip Filler Dissolve (Hylenex®)
About Lip Filler Dissolve
Medspa in Oak Park, IL 60301 l Lip Filler Dissolve Near Me
Lip filler dissolution is a minimally invasive procedure designed to remove unwanted hyaluronic acid (HA)-based filler from the lips. The treatment uses hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down HA—most commonly in the form of Hylenex® (hyaluronidase human injection), a prescription medication.
This treatment is ideal for individuals who are unhappy with the appearance of overfilled or migrated lip filler and want to restore a more natural look. Results are often visible within hours and require little to no downtime when administered by a licensed provider.
-
Hylenex® is a prescription-only formulation of hyaluronidase used to break down hyaluronic acid-based fillers in the lips. During the treatment, your provider will inject Hylenex® directly into the treated area. The enzyme quickly begins to dissolve the filler, which is naturally absorbed by the body.
-
Assessment – Your provider evaluates your lips and discusses your goals to determine if you’re a good candidate for filler dissolution.
Injection – Small amounts of Hylenex® are carefully injected into the areas with unwanted filler.
Breakdown Begins – Hylenex® works by breaking down the hyaluronic acid molecules in the filler.
Natural Absorption – Your body absorbs the dissolved filler over several hours. Most people begin to see results almost immediately.

Yes. Many clients choose to have new filler placed a few weeks after complete dissolution. Your provider will guide the timing.

Most providers recommend waiting at least 1 to 2 weeks after dissolution to allow full breakdown of the previous filler and reduce swelling before placing new filler. Your provider will determine the ideal timing based on your treatment goals and healing response.

No. Hylenex® (hyaluronidase) only works on hyaluronic acid (HA)-based fillers. It will not dissolve other types of dermal fillers such as those made with calcium hydroxylapatite or poly-L-lactic acid. Your provider will confirm the type of filler used before proceeding with treatment.
