Dermal filler results do not always turn out as expected. Filler can migrate, create unwanted fullness, appear uneven, or simply no longer match your aesthetic goals. Hyaluronidase in Upper Arlington, OH, offers a targeted way to dissolve certain hyaluronic acid fillers and give you greater control over your results.
At The Luxe MedSpa, hyaluronidase injections are approached with the same attention to balance and personalization as injectable treatments themselves. Whether you want to dissolve lip filler, address migration, or prepare an area for future correction, your provider will evaluate the existing filler and recommend an individualized treatment plan.
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme used as a filler dissolver for dermal fillers made with hyaluronic acid. When injected into the treatment area, it helps break down the hyaluronic acid so the body can gradually clear it from the area.
Treatment may be used for complete or partial filler correction, depending on the concern and desired outcome. Hyaluronidase does not dissolve every type of injectable filler, so an evaluation is important to determine what product was previously placed and whether hyaluronidase is appropriate.
Hyaluronidase provides a targeted option for correcting unwanted results from hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. Treatment can be customized based on whether you want to reduce a small amount of filler, address migration, or dissolve more of the existing product before considering a new aesthetic plan.
During treatment, hyaluronidase is carefully injected into areas containing unwanted hyaluronic acid filler. The enzyme breaks down the bonds within the hyaluronic acid, allowing the filler to be absorbed and cleared by the body. The amount and placement of the injections depend on factors such as the treatment area, amount of filler present, and degree of correction needed.
Some patients may achieve their desired correction after one appointment, while others may need additional treatment to dissolve remaining filler. Your provider will monitor how the area responds before determining whether further hyaluronidase injections or future filler treatment should be considered.
Hyaluronidase can be used in several facial areas where hyaluronic acid filler has previously been placed. Your provider will evaluate the type, location, and amount of existing filler before recommending treatment.
Dissolves unwanted lip filler or helps address migration, asymmetry, and excessive volume.
Corrects unwanted filler around the mouth when fullness or irregularities develop.
May address unwanted tear trough filler, including puffiness or unevenness related to existing filler.
Reduces excess hyaluronic acid filler when the cheeks appear overfilled or unbalanced.
Helps correct unwanted volume or contour irregularities caused by previous filler placement.
Can dissolve appropriate hyaluronic acid filler when correction is needed in the temple area.
Targets unwanted filler previously placed around the folds extending from the nose toward the mouth.
Corrects hyaluronic acid filler around the lower face when results are uneven or no longer desired.
Helps reduce excess filler or correct an unwanted chin shape or projection.
Can address excess or uneven hyaluronic acid filler affecting jawline definition.
May be used to carefully correct appropriate hyaluronic acid filler previously placed during nonsurgical nasal enhancement.
Hyaluronidase may be recommended when existing hyaluronic acid filler creates an unwanted appearance or needs to be removed before corrective treatment. The amount of correction required varies based on the filler and individual concern.
You may be a candidate for hyaluronidase if you have unwanted or uneven results from a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler. Treatment may be appropriate if you are experiencing filler migration, excessive volume, asymmetry, visible lumps, or simply want to reverse previous filler before considering a different aesthetic approach.
Because hyaluronidase does not dissolve every type of filler, your provider at The Luxe MedSpa will first evaluate the treated area and discuss your previous injectable history when possible. Your treatment plan will be based on the filler present, the degree of correction desired, and whether partial or more extensive dissolving is appropriate.
Your appointment begins with an assessment of the existing filler and the areas you would like corrected. Your provider will determine where hyaluronidase should be placed and how much may be appropriate based on the amount of filler present and your desired outcome.
Hyaluronidase is then injected directly into the targeted areas using precise injection techniques. The appointment is generally brief, and temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur afterward. Because swelling can temporarily affect the appearance of the treated area, your provider may recommend allowing time for the area to settle before evaluating the final degree of correction or deciding whether another session is needed.
Preparing for your appointment can help your provider accurately evaluate your existing filler and plan treatment. You will receive individualized instructions based on your medical history, previous injectable treatments, and the area being corrected.
After hyaluronidase injections, temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising may develop around the injection sites. These effects can temporarily make it difficult to judge the final correction, so it is important to allow the treated area time to settle before assessing your results.
Hyaluronidase permanently breaks down the hyaluronic acid filler it successfully dissolves, so that specific filler does not simply reform after treatment. However, the amount dissolved can vary, and some patients may require more than one session depending on the type, amount, and location of the existing filler.
Swelling can temporarily change how the area looks immediately after treatment, so your final correction is better evaluated once the area has settled. Patients considering filler correction can also view The Luxe MedSpa’s Gallery to explore examples of the practice’s aesthetic work and approach to natural-looking results.
Hyaluronidase is often part of a broader corrective or refreshed aesthetic plan rather than the final step for every patient. After the existing filler has been dissolved and the area has had appropriate time to settle, your provider can determine whether another treatment may help achieve your goals.

Filler correction requires a thoughtful approach because the goal is not simply to dissolve filler, but to determine what should be corrected and how the area may fit into your longer-term aesthetic plan. At The Luxe MedSpa, treatments are personalized around your facial features, previous injectable treatments, and desired outcome.
Hyaluronidase is used to break down hyaluronic acid, which is found both in dermal fillers and naturally in the body. Because it can temporarily affect naturally occurring hyaluronic acid in the treated area as well as injected filler, treatment should be performed carefully and precisely. The body continually produces its own hyaluronic acid, while the targeted hyaluronic acid filler that has been dissolved does not regenerate.
Hyaluronidase can dissolve hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, but the degree of correction varies depending on the filler product, amount present, treatment area, and dose used. Some patients achieve their desired result after one treatment, while others may require additional hyaluronidase injections to address remaining filler.
After filler is dissolved, the treated area generally moves toward its pre-filler appearance, but it may not look exactly the same immediately. Temporary swelling can affect the initial result, and factors such as natural aging, previous filler treatments, and changes in the tissues over time can influence how the area looks once it settles.
The appropriate waiting period depends on the treated area, the amount of filler dissolved, and how your tissues respond to hyaluronidase. Your provider may recommend allowing swelling and inflammation to fully settle before reassessing the area and creating a new filler treatment plan.
There is no single amount of hyaluronidase that is appropriate for every patient. The amount needed depends on factors such as the type and quantity of hyaluronic acid filler present, where it was injected, and whether you want partial correction or more extensive dissolving. Your provider at The Luxe MedSpa will evaluate the area and determine an individualized treatment approach.
Hyaluronidase injections are generally quick, and topical numbing may be used depending on the treatment area and your comfort level. Your provider will discuss what to expect before treatment and determine whether numbing is appropriate for your specific filler correction.
The cost of hyaluronidase varies depending on the treatment area, the amount of existing filler, and how much product is needed to achieve the desired correction. Some patients may also require more than one session. The Luxe MedSpa offers financing options through CareCredit and Cherry Payment Plans for qualified patients.
Temporary redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, or discomfort can occur around the injection sites after hyaluronidase treatment. Allergic reactions are also possible, although uncommon, which is why your medical history and previous reactions should be discussed with your provider before treatment. Contact the practice if you experience severe or unexpected symptoms following your injections.
If migrated, uneven, or unwanted hyaluronic acid filler is affecting your results, hyaluronidase can provide a targeted approach to filler correction. The team at The Luxe MedSpa will evaluate your existing filler, listen to your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan based on the degree of correction you want.
