Filler Dissolving Hyaluronidase Treatment in Myeongdong Seoul
Safely dissolve overfilled, migrated, or unwanted hyaluronic acid filler with expert hyaluronidase treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. Board-certified doctors, 8-language support, same-day correction available.
What Is Filler Dissolving (Hyaluronidase)?
Filler dissolving uses hyaluronidase, a naturally occurring enzyme, to break down and dissolve hyaluronic acid (HA) filler. It is the only proven method to remove unwanted HA filler from areas like the lips, nose, cheeks, chin, and under-eyes. The enzyme works within minutes, with most filler dissolved within 24-48 hours. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, our board-certified doctors assess each case individually to achieve precise, controlled dissolution.
Hyaluronidase (brand names include Liporase, Hylenex) is an enzyme that cleaves the glycosidic bonds in cross-linked hyaluronic acid, rapidly converting gel-phase filler back into a liquid that the body naturally absorbs. This treatment addresses multiple filler complications: overfilling (too much volume), asymmetry (uneven placement), migration (filler moving from original location), Tyndall effect (bluish discoloration under thin skin), vascular occlusion (emergency filler in a blood vessel), and simple patient dissatisfaction with previous filler results obtained at other clinics. Because it targets only HA, your body’s own naturally produced hyaluronic acid regenerates normally after treatment.

How Filler Dissolving Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
A careful four-step protocol for safe and effective filler dissolution.
Assessment & Allergy Test
The doctor examines the filler area, assesses volume and migration pattern, and may perform a small skin test to check for hyaluronidase sensitivity before proceeding.
Precise Hyaluronidase Injection
The enzyme is injected directly into the filler deposit using fine needles. Hyaluronidase immediately begins breaking the cross-linked HA chains.
Monitoring & Massage
The doctor monitors dissolution progress and may gently massage the area to distribute enzyme evenly throughout the filler deposit for complete correction.
Follow-Up Assessment
Results are assessed at 48-72 hours. If residual filler remains, a second session may be scheduled. New filler can be placed after 2-4 weeks of full settling.
What to Expect from Filler Dissolving
- Fast-Acting: Hyaluronidase begins working within minutes. Visible filler reduction typically within 24-48 hours.
- Precise Correction: Partial dissolution is possible — your doctor can remove just the excess while preserving desired volume.
- Safe & Natural: Hyaluronidase is a naturally occurring enzyme in the body with an excellent safety profile.
- Fixes Multiple Issues: Addresses overfilling, migration, lumps, asymmetry, Tyndall effect, and vascular compromise.
- Fresh Start: After dissolving, you can receive new filler in 2-4 weeks with a clean canvas for better results.
- Emergency Use: Hyaluronidase is the standard emergency treatment for filler-related vascular occlusion.
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Minutes | Enzyme begins breaking down HA filler. You may feel mild warmth or tingling in the treated area. |
| Hours 1-6 | Swelling at injection site is normal. The filler is actively being dissolved and absorbed by the body. |
| Day 1-2 | Significant filler reduction visible. Swelling subsides. The treated area begins returning to its pre-filler state. |
| Day 3-7 | Final dissolution complete. The area has settled and residual assessment can be made accurately. |
| Week 2-4 | Tissue fully recovered. If desired, new filler can now be placed with precise volume control. |
| Month 1+ | Body’s natural hyaluronic acid fully regenerated. Skin quality returns to normal baseline. |

The Science Behind Hyaluronidase Filler Dissolving
Evidence-based research on enzymatic dissolution of hyaluronic acid fillers.
Mechanism of Hyaluronidase Action
Hyaluronidase is a glycosaminoglycanase enzyme that cleaves the beta-1,4-glycosidic bonds in hyaluronic acid polymers. When injected into cross-linked HA filler, it systematically degrades the three-dimensional gel matrix, converting solid filler into low-molecular-weight fragments that are rapidly absorbed through lymphatic drainage. Studies by DeLorenzi (2013) demonstrated that 15-75 units of hyaluronidase can dissolve 0.5-1.0cc of cross-linked HA filler within 24 hours, with dose-dependent response curves allowing precise volume control.
Safety Profile and Allergic Considerations
Hyaluronidase has been used clinically since the 1940s as a spreading agent for subcutaneous injections. True allergic reactions are extremely rare (estimated at less than 0.1%). A meta-analysis by Cavallini et al. (2013) reported no serious adverse events in 2,114 hyaluronidase treatments for filler dissolution. Common side effects include transient swelling, erythema, and mild bruising at the injection site, all resolving within 48-72 hours.
Emergency Applications: Vascular Occlusion
When HA filler inadvertently enters or compresses a blood vessel, hyaluronidase is the emergency treatment of choice. Immediate injection can prevent tissue necrosis and vision loss. The 2019 consensus guidelines by Signorini et al. recommend that all clinics performing HA filler injections maintain hyaluronidase on-site at all times — a protocol strictly followed at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.

What Our Patients Say About Filler Dissolving
“I had overfilled lips from another clinic. Dr. Baek carefully dissolved just the right amount and my lips look natural again. Then I got new filler 3 weeks later — perfect result.”
“My under-eye filler had migrated and created puffiness. The hyaluronidase treatment at RE:BERRY resolved it completely in 2 days. So relieved.”
“I was panicking about my nose filler complication while traveling in Seoul. RE:BERRY saw me same-day and dissolved it safely. The 8-language support was a lifesaver.”
Frequently Asked Questions About Filler Dissolving
Expert answers about hyaluronidase filler dissolving at RE:BERRY Myeongdong Seoul.
Hyaluronidase only dissolves hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, and similar HA-based products. It cannot dissolve non-HA fillers like Radiesse (CaHA), Sculptra (PLLA), or silicone.
Hyaluronidase begins working within minutes. Most patients see significant filler reduction within 24-48 hours. Complete dissolution typically occurs within 3-7 days.
Discomfort is minimal, typically rated 2-3 out of 10. The injection feels similar to the original filler treatment. Topical numbing cream can be applied before the procedure if desired.
Yes. After filler dissolving, you should wait 2-4 weeks for the area to fully settle and for any swelling to resolve completely. This allows accurate volume assessment for the new filler placement.
Hyaluronidase temporarily affects both synthetic and natural HA in the treated area. However, your body continuously produces new hyaluronic acid, and natural levels are fully restored within 24-48 hours.
Yes. Hyaluronidase has been used medically since the 1940s with an excellent safety profile. True allergic reactions are extremely rare (less than 0.1%). When performed by trained physicians at RE:BERRY, it is very safe.
Yes. Partial dissolution is one of the key advantages of hyaluronidase. Your doctor can precisely target specific areas of excess volume while preserving filler in areas where the result is satisfactory.
Most cases require 1-2 sessions. Dense or heavily cross-linked fillers may need a second session after 1-2 weeks. Your doctor will assess after the first treatment and advise accordingly.
Absolutely. RE:BERRY Myeongdong is 2 minutes from Myeongdong Station. We offer 8-language support and same-day emergency filler correction. Walk-ins are welcome for urgent cases.
You may feel mild stinging during injection, followed by a warming or tingling sensation as the enzyme activates. Some patients report a brief itching sensation. These sensations resolve within 30 minutes.
Yes. The Tyndall effect (bluish discoloration) occurs when HA filler is placed too superficially. Hyaluronidase effectively dissolves the shallow filler deposit, eliminating the discoloration.
Mild swelling at the injection site is normal and typically resolves within 24-48 hours. Ice application can help minimize swelling. This is not a cause for concern.
Yes. Nose filler (non-surgical rhinoplasty filler) can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. The nose is a higher-risk area for filler complications, so expert dissolution by a trained physician is essential.
Yes. Lip filler dissolving is one of the most common hyaluronidase procedures. It can address overfilled lips, asymmetry, migration above the lip border (filler mustache), and lumps.
Yes. Deep-plane cheek filler may require slightly higher doses of hyaluronidase and potentially 2 sessions due to the larger volume typically used. Results are still achievable and predictable.
Yes. Under-eye (tear trough) filler is a common area for dissolving due to sensitivity to slight overfilling, migration, or Tyndall effect. Precise technique is critical in this delicate area.
RE:BERRY Myeongdong welcomes patients seeking correction of filler placed at other clinics, both in Korea and abroad. The doctor will assess the situation and create a tailored dissolution plan.
A skin test may be performed before treatment, especially for patients with known allergies to bee stings or certain medications. The test involves a small injection on the forearm with a 20-minute observation period.
Your face will return to its pre-filler appearance. If you had filler for many years, there may be an adjustment period. New filler can be placed after 2-4 weeks if volume is desired.
Yes. Hyaluronidase is the standard emergency treatment for filler-related vascular occlusion. RE:BERRY keeps hyaluronidase on-site at all times per international safety guidelines.
Dosing depends on the volume and type of filler to be dissolved. Typically 15-150 units per treatment area. Your doctor determines the precise dose during the assessment.
It is best to wait 6-12 hours before applying makeup to the treated area to minimize infection risk. After that, normal makeup application is fine.
No. Hyaluronidase is injected with fine needles, similar to filler injection itself. There are no incisions and no scarring risk. Only tiny needle marks that fade within hours.
Avoid intense exercise for 24 hours after treatment to minimize swelling and bruising. Light walking and normal activities are fine immediately.
