Filler Dissolution (Hylenex) in Fort Lauderdale
Sometimes filler migrates. Sometimes it was placed badly somewhere else. Sometimes you just want it gone. Hylenex breaks down hyaluronic acid filler quickly and reversibly — restoring your natural shape.
Hylenex (hyaluronidase) is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid — the same substance found in HA fillers like Restylane, Juvéderm, and Versa. Injected into a treated area, it dissolves the filler within hours to days. It does not affect non-HA fillers or your skin's own hyaluronic acid in any meaningful way.
- Migrated lip or undereye filler
- Filler placed too superficially (Tyndall effect)
- Overfilled cheeks or chin
- Lumps and unevenness from prior treatment
- Patients who simply want previous filler removed before re-treating
A 30-minute appointment. Dr. Green assesses where the existing filler sits, calculates the dose, and injects Hylenex precisely into those areas. You'll see meaningful change within 24–48 hours, with full resolution over the following week.
Mild swelling and possible bruising for 1–3 days. We typically wait two weeks before any re-treatment.
Price varies
Does Hylenex dissolve all filler?
Only hyaluronic acid filler. Permanent fillers like silicone or biostimulators like Sculptra cannot be dissolved with Hylenex. This is one reason we never use permanent filler at Glowtology.
How fast does it work?
Most patients see significant change within 24 hours. Full effect by 7–10 days.
I had filler done somewhere else — can you still dissolve it?
Yes, as long as it's hyaluronic acid filler. Dr. Green dissolves filler placed at other clinics regularly.
