Removal of Fillers
Removal of unwanted fillers in skin care clinics under the supervision of a dermatologist.
Sometimes the filler’s results may not be satisfactory, or some errors or complications may occur that necessitate the removal of filler and restoring the skin to its natural state. In this case, you will need to get your filler removed or repaired by a dermatologist using Hyaluronidase or Hyalase.
At Tadawi Medical Center, you will find the best temporary or permanent filler removal using the best types of solvent injections and modern tools.
How to remove dermal fillers?
The doctor will anaesthetise the area where the filler is to be removed to reduce the burning sensation.
The hyaluronidase enzyme is injected into the area using a small syringe to dissolve the dermal fillers that contain hyaluronic acid.
If the fillers do not contain hyaluronic acid, the filler will need to be surgically removed which can also be done at Tadawi Medical Center.
How long does it take for filler removal to work?
The result of the filler removal appears within 2–3 days of the injection, and in some cases, it may extend to a week until the swelling and minor bruising disappear. The procedure itself takes 10 to 15 minutes.
What are the dangers of hyaluronidase?
One of the side effects of temporary or permanent filler removal using hyaluronidase is redness, bruises, and the possibility of an allergic reaction such as a rash. It is recommended to visit a doctor as soon as these symptoms appear.
