PRE & POST TREATMENT
1 WEEK PRIOR TO TREATMENT
1 week prior to your appointment
- AVOID ibuprofen, aspirin, fish oils and other blood thinning medications, supplements and foods (NOTE: Discuss with your GP prior to stopping prescribed medications)
2 - 5 days prior to your appointment:
- AVOID using skin care with active ingredients, such as retinols and AHA/BHA products
- AVOID waxing, tweezing and hair removal to your desired treatment area (irritated skin areas cannot be treated with cosmetic products)
- If you're prone to bruising and swelling, you can begin taking arnica tablets (available at most health food stores)
24 HOURS BEFORE TREATMENT
- AVOID alcohol intake and smoking
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
- Notify your nurse if you have any active cold sores and intend on having lip filler treatment (this is contraindicated)
TREATMENT DAY PREPARATION
- Ensure you're well hydrated and have eaten something substantial (this is to avoid feeling or becoming faint)
- AVOID caffeine
- Arrive with a clean face, if possible
POST TREATMENT CARE
- Do not rub or touch the treated areas today, and avoid pressure to the treatment areas for one week
- Keep the area clean and do not apply make up for at least 12-24 hours after treatment
- Avoid physical/strenuous activity for 24 hours
- Avoid alcohol consumption for 24 hours
- Avoid exposure to heat for 24 hours (i.e sauna, spa, sun exposure, sun bathing)
- Opt for paracetamol to treat any pain. Avoid ibuprofen (Nurofen), diclofenac (Voltaren) and Aspirin for 24 hours
- Avoid facial and laser treatments to the treatment area for 2 - 4 weeks
- Swelling and bruising is expected after dermal filler dissolver. Arnica tablets or hirudoid cream can help to relieve the bruising sooner, and an antihistamine can reduce swelling
- If you have a history of coldsores, we recommend you take famciclovir to prevent an outbreak (ask your pharmacist)
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Dermal Filler Dissolver?
Dissolving dermal filler involves the use of a medication that is an enzyme. This enzyme accelerates the degradation (break down) of hyaluronic acid, effectively reducing filler volume under the skin.
Please note that multiple sessions may be required depending on the amount of filler that is needed to dissolve.
WHAT PRODUCTS DO YOU USE?
The medication that is used for dermal filler dissolving is called Hyaluronidase. The use of this medication in Australia for dissolving filler is considered 'off-label', however extensive research has been conducted around its use and safety in aesthetic complications.
WHAT IF I DON'T KNOW WHAT I NEED?
That is okay! We can help guide your through your aesthetic concerns, and discuss possible options to address these.
WHAT SIDE EFFECTS CAN I EXPECT?
It’s completely normal to encounter slight swelling, bleeding, possible bruising and redness at the injections sites. You may experienced unwanted degradation of your skin's natural hyaluronic acid, which can leave you feeling extra deflated in your tissues. This is usually temporary, as your body will naturally rebuild its own hyaluronic acid.
Side effects are usually short-lived and resolve soon after the treatment. Some clients may experience an allergic reaction to the medication, however we can conduct a small patch test prior to the procedure to recognise the likelihood of this before proceeding with the full treatment. This will be discussed in your consultation.
Make sure you follow your aftercare instructions, and if you have any concerns, feel free to reach out to Your Aesthetic - we're here to help!
IS THERE ANYTHING IMPORTANT I SHOULD LOOK OUT FOR?
If you notice any of the following symptoms, please get in touch with our clinic right away:
- Signs of allergic reaction; swelling that is getting worse, pain, itchiness, welting, blistering.
- Late signs would be a cough, difficult breathing, loss of consciousness. In this case call 000. This could be an anaphylactic reaction.
- Signs of infection, like redness, pus, swelling.
If you observe the onset of any of these symptoms, contact us here.
Is this treatment safe?
All Cosmetic treatments can be safe when they are being conducted by a team with extensive experience and knowledge with the procedure.
This treatment is considered safe, and is practiced Australia-wide for dissolving dermal filler.
There are always going to be risks associated with the treatment, however this is always discussed in a consultation (+ a test patch) which may reveal reasons we may not be able to go ahead with the treatment.
When will I see the results?
Results can be seen subtly within an hour or two, with full effects visible in a few days as the hyaluronic acid continues to breaks down. The full two weeks is required before we would consider more dissolving.
CAN I RECEIVE TREATMENT IF PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING?
No, we do not recommend these treatments for individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Safety is our priority, and we adhere to TGA guidelines, which advise against such treatments during pregnancy and breastfeeding

UPDATES TO OUR COMMUNICATION ON COSMETIC INJECTABLES
To resolve any inconsistency in interpretation across industry areas, the TGA no longer permits references to terms such as ‘wrinkle reducing injections’ or ‘dermal fillers’ where those terms would result in a reasonable consumer understanding the intention of the content is to promote the use or supply of a prescription-only medicine or good containing such as substance. This includes through acronyms, nicknames, abbreviations and hashtags, which may be taken by a consumer as a reference to a specific prescription-only medicine or substance.
