ABOUT THE TREATMENT
Hylenex is a hyaluronidase enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid filler, allowing your body to clear it naturally and restore a softer, more natural foundation.
At The Real Skin Medical Center, we see many clients who want to correct filler placed elsewhere, whether it has migrated above the lip line, created puffiness, or simply feels like too much. Hylenex is placed precisely where the unwanted filler sits, and it begins working within hours. We take a measured approach, dissolving only what is needed, so you can reset gently and decide on next steps with a clear picture of your natural features.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Your Filler Dissolving Appointment
Every appointment is thoughtful and designed to respect your time. Most visits take under 30 up to 60 minutes from check-in to checkout.
01
Consultation
We review your filler history, assess the area, and talk through the result you want.
02
Assessment
Your provider identifies exactly where the filler sits and decides how much Hylenex is needed.
03
Treatment
Hylenex is placed with fine, precise injections. Most clients feel only a brief sting.
04
Follow Up
We check your results after the area settles and talk through next steps, including refilling if desired.
RECOVERY + RESULTS
After Your Appointment
Most clients return to their day right away. Mild swelling, tenderness, or small bruises can appear at the treatment site and usually settle within a day or two. The area may look softer or flatter at first as filler breaks down, so we recommend waiting a couple of weeks before judging the final result.
If you would like to have filler placed again, we typically wait about two weeks so the area can fully settle. Some areas need a second dissolving session, and your provider will review your progress at a follow up visit.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Hylenex?
Hylenex is a brand of hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid. When placed into an area with hyaluronic acid filler, it dissolves the filler so your body can clear it naturally.
How fast does filler dissolving work?
Hylenex begins working within hours, and most clients see a noticeable change within 24 to 48 hours. Swelling can make the area look uneven at first, so we review the final result after about two weeks.
How much does filler dissolving cost in Costa Mesa?
Pricing depends on the area and the amount of Hylenex needed. We share exact pricing during your consultation, and monthly financing options are available.
When can I get filler again after dissolving?
We usually recommend waiting about two weeks after dissolving so the area can settle. Your provider will help you decide whether refilling makes sense for your goals.
Can all fillers be dissolved?
Hylenex works on hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, and RHA. It does not dissolve biostimulators like Sculptra or Radiesse.
