If you’ve had dermal fillers before and are considering a touch-up or a full refresh, you may be wondering: Should I dissolve my old filler before getting it redone? At Tone Medical Aesthetics in Denver, we hear this question often—and the answer depends on your aesthetic goals, the type of filler used, and how your previous results have aged over time.
In this blog, we’ll explore when it makes sense to dissolve filler, what the process involves, and how our expert injectors in Denver guide you toward the best outcome for a refreshed, natural-looking appearance.
What Does “Dissolving Filler” Mean?
Dissolving filler typically involves injecting hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, and others. This treatment is safe, fast-acting, and commonly used when:
- Filler has migrated or created an uneven look
- The results appear puffy, overfilled, or unnatural
- You’re switching to a different filler product or technique
- You want a “clean slate” before starting fresh
At Tone Med Spa, we offer filler correction and dissolving services in Denver using hyaluronidase, performed by trained injectors who understand both the art and science of facial aesthetics.
When You Should Consider Dissolving Filler Before a Re-Treatment
Here are a few scenarios where dissolving your old filler may be the right move:
- Migration or Puffiness
Over time, filler can migrate—especially in areas like the lips, tear troughs, and nasolabial folds. If you’re seeing bulging, asymmetry, or a “pillow face” effect, dissolving is often the best first step before reinjection. - You’re Unsure What Product Was Used
If you received filler at another provider and don’t know the brand, amount, or technique used, it may be safer to dissolve and start fresh for predictable, symmetrical results. - Your Aesthetic Goals Have Changed
Maybe you want a more subtle or balanced look than before. At Tone Medical Aesthetics, we often help clients refine their results by removing old filler and replacing it with a customized treatment plan that enhances their natural beauty.
When You Might Not Need to Dissolve
In many cases, you don’t need to dissolve filler before re-treating, especially if:
- Your previous filler has naturally metabolized (most dissolve on their own in 6–18 months)
- You’re topping off volume in the same area using the same product\
- There are no signs of migration, lumps, or overfilling
Our team will perform a thorough facial assessment during your consultation to determine whether your existing filler is still supporting your aesthetic goals—or whether a fresh start would deliver a better result.
