What is filler dissolving?
Filler dissolving is a treatment used to break down hyaluronic acid dermal filler. It may be considered when the result looks too full, appears uneven or the filler has moved beyond where it was originally placed.
At Skin Techniques, we start by understanding what is bothering you and assessing your existing filler. Not every concern needs dissolving, and not every type of filler can be dissolved. We’ll explain what may be possible and whether treatment is appropriate before proceeding. This also helps us plan any future dermal filler treatment.
What it helps
What can filler dissolving help with?
Filler dissolving may help address unwanted fullness, uneven results or filler that has migrated from the original treatment area. You might have noticed changes around your lips or elsewhere on your face, or simply feel that your previous result no longer suits you.
Lumps, tenderness and swelling need assessment to understand their cause, rather than assuming dissolving is the answer. If you’re considering more lip filler, we may recommend addressing existing filler first instead of adding further volume.

How it works
How does filler dissolving work?
Filler dissolving uses an injectable treatment to break down hyaluronic acid filler in the area being treated. The approach depends on where the filler is, how much is present and what you would like to address. It isn’t always possible to remove only a precise amount or guarantee complete removal in one session.
The area may swell initially, which can temporarily affect how it looks. We allow it to settle before assessing how much filler remains and whether another session is needed. Any future filler treatment is considered separately, based on your preferences and the settled result.
Our approach
Our specialist full-face approach to dermal fillers
At Skin Techniques, we specialise in a personalised, full-face approach to dermal fillers. You might come to us with a particular treatment in mind, but the area you notice isn’t always the only place we need to consider.
Changes in volume, skin quality and the support around your features can all contribute to the same concern. Sometimes treating one area is appropriate; sometimes a combination of treatments may be more helpful.
We take time to understand what is causing your concern and how your features work together before recommending a treatment plan. You don’t need to know exactly what to book—we’ll explain the options and help you decide on an approach that suits your face and what you’d like to achieve.
Your questions
Filler dissolving FAQs
Can all dermal fillers be dissolved?
No. This treatment is used for hyaluronic acid fillers and does not work in the same way on other types of filler. If you know which product was used, bring those details to your appointment. We’ll explain whether further information or assessment is needed.
Does migrated filler always need dissolving?
Not necessarily. We first need to establish whether the change is migration and understand what is bothering you. Adding more filler may be unhelpful, but the right approach depends on the cause, location and your treatment history.
How much does filler dissolving cost in Amersham?
Filler dissolving at Skin Techniques starts from £150. The total depends on the area and treatment required, including whether further sessions are recommended. We’ll explain the plan and confirm the cost before treatment.
Can I have new filler straight after dissolving?
The area needs time to settle before further filler is considered. We’ll reassess the result and advise on timing and suitability. New filler isn’t automatically needed, and you don’t have to decide on another treatment straight away.
