Lip Dissolving
Lip dissolving is a specialized treatment designed to break down and remove unwanted dermal filler from the lips using hyaluronidase, an enzyme that safely dissolves hyaluronic acid-based fillers. Whether you’re unhappy with the shape, size, or texture of your current lip filler, this procedure provides a quick and effective way to restore your natural lip appearance. At SkinFX Medical Spa, we offer expert lip dissolving treatments to help you achieve the look you desire with precision and care.
HOW DOES LIP DISSOLVING WORK?
The treatment involves a series of small injections of hyaluronidase, which works by breaking down the filler into smaller particles, allowing the body to naturally absorb and eliminate it. The process is fast, minimally invasive, and provides noticeable results within 24-48 hours. Lip dissolving can also be used to correct overfilled or uneven lips, as well as address complications from previous filler treatments.

FAQ
Is lip dissolving safe?
Yes, the treatment is performed using hyaluronidase, an FDA-approved enzyme specifically designed to break down hyaluronic acid fillers safely and effectively.
How long does the procedure take?
The treatment itself takes approximately 20-30 minutes, with visible results starting to appear within 24-48 hours.
Will my lips return to normal after dissolving?
Yes, once the filler is dissolved, your lips will return to their natural pre-filler state. If needed, a new filler treatment can be done after the area has fully healed.
How soon can I get new filler after dissolving?
It’s recommended to wait at least two weeks before receiving new filler to allow the lips to fully recover.
Does lip dissolving hurt?
Most patients experience mild discomfort, similar to lip filler injections. A numbing agent can be used to enhance comfort.
Are there any side effects?
Some patients may experience slight swelling, redness, or bruising, but these side effects typically subside within a few days.
Can I dissolve only a portion of my filler?
Yes, the treatment can be customized to target specific areas without fully dissolving all of the filler.
What should I do before and after treatment?
Avoid alcohol, blood-thinning medications, and excessive heat exposure before and after the procedure. Apply ice packs to reduce swelling if needed.
