Can Nexfill be dissolved?
All of Nexfill dermal fillers are made of Hyaluronic Acid and this means that they can be partially or completely removed with an enzyme called hyaluronidase. When injected into the affected areas, hyaluronidase dissolves the hyaluronic acid particles to help correct issues.
If you don’t love your results then a trained practitioner can make corrections or improve upon your previous results through one or several treatments. We understand that even in the best hands, patients can sometimes have less than perfect outcomes. Choosing a needle trained qualified provider can help you to avoid common mistakes, however it’s always better safe than sorry and complications need to be prepared for.

In a small percentage of cases, a person’s body can react to filler for no known reason and this could result in lumpiness or swelling. Allergic reactions are very rare but can occur, and other side effects such as infection, and simply not being happy with the end result are all reasons that someone may wish to have their fillers dissolved.
First timers can be quite nervous before having their first dermal filler treatment, and if something goes wrong then dissolving the filler is often the only option and that can be a scary idea if they don’t have all the information.
Hyaluronidase (the dissolving enzyme) isn’t perfect. It might remove a larger amount of filler than may be desired, requiring another filler treatment to achieve the original goal. Additionally, since this product is typically made from animal derivatives, certain patients may be at higher risk for allergic reaction. However, in most cases, hyaluronidase can spare a patient from months of living with the results of poorly performed filler injections.
Around 24 hours after hyaluronidase is injected the patient should notice that the majority of Nexfill is dissolved – this is the same with any hyaluronic acid dermal filler. It works quickly and even after a few hours you should see improvements. Although it may seem like a scary idea for first timers, it’s nice to know that there is an option if anything were to go wrong – when getting injected with a Nexfill dermal filler the process can be completely reversed with a small procedure.
It’s advised to wait two weeks or more before using a hyaluronic acid filler again.
