Treatment Explained
Lip filler dissolving
If you have had hyaluronic acid lip filler treatment at any clinic and you are unhappy with the results, or simply changed your mind, we offer lip filler dissolving treatment to reverse the effects.
We help patients who are not happy with the appearance of their lips. For example, there may be an uneven appearance or areas where lumps of filler have formed.
At our Harley Street and Colindale clinics, our lip filler dissolving treatment will quickly restore your natural lip shape and size.
You will experience your treatment at one of our luxurious, award-winning London aesthetic clinics, led by Dr Kaywaan Khan.

Lip filler dissolving treatment benefits
Lip fillers dissolve naturally over a 6-18 month period, depending on your metabolism. However, for patients who are concerned about their lip filler, we offer safe and immediate reversal.
-
Restore natural lip shape and size
If you are unhappy with the shape, symmetry or size of your lips following lip filler treatment at any clinic, we can restore your natural lip shape and size safely and quickly.
-
Eliminate lumps of filler
Where lumps of lip filler have formed creating asymmetry or an unpleasant sensation, our lip filler dissolving treatment offers an immediate solution.
-
Quick procedure, immediate results
Lip filler dissolving is a very quick procedure that lasts about 30 minutes. The benefits start to become apparent immediately.
-
Natural volume and definition
To complete your desired outcome, we offer the best lip enhancement treatment in London at our Harley Street and Colindale clinics.
We would be delighted to talk to you about enhancing your lip shape through a combination of dissolving your existing lip filler and carefully injecting fresh filler.
At the initial appointment we will dissolve your existing filler. During your follow-up appointment (at least a week later) we will perfect your desired results with new lip filler. -
Is lip filler dissolving treatment painful?
No, the treatment is not painful.
Numbing cream can be applied in advance, and the dissolving solution itself is not painful when it enters the skin, as long as it is mixed appropriately.
Lip filler dissolving requires a skin prick test to ensure there are no allergies to the ingredients in the solution.
However, we offer two different versions of the solution, so we can opt for an alternative if the patient shows an allergic reaction to one.
If required, we can also use a ‘no needle’ approach using Topilase. This is a revolutionary dissolving product that can be applied to the skin to slowly dissolve lip filler. However, this treatment requires several sessions to achieve the desired result.

I recently had my lip filler dissolved at Hannah London, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. The team was incredibly professional and ensured I understood every step of the process. The procedure itself was quick, and the staff made me feel at ease with their knowledge and gentle approach. I appreciated how clean and welcoming the clinic was, which made me feel in good hands. My lips look fantastic now – I feel like my natural beauty is shining through. Highly recommend!

I decided to have my lip filler dissolved after it migrated over time, and I'm so glad I chose Hannah London for the procedure. The staff explained everything thoroughly, making sure I was comfortable throughout. The clinic is pristine, and the environment was so calming that it eased all my nerves. The results are beautiful – my lips look and feel more like myself again. Thank you, Hannah London, for such a positive experience!

Hannah London made my first lip-dissolving experience absolutely wonderful. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the team was so reassuring and professional. They explained the process in detail, which really helped put my mind at ease. The procedure was smooth and the results exceeded my expectations. My lips look natural again, and I’m thrilled with how everything turned out. Would highly recommend Hannah London for anyone considering this treatment!
The science behind
lip filler dissolving
Dermal and lip fillers are rich in hyaluronic acid. This naturally occurring substance in the body is responsible for maintaining moisture levels in the skin.
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This prescription-only medicine can be injected into the affected area. It works by breaking down any unwanted hyaluronic acid dermal filler, and encouraging the body to reabsorb it. The treatment starts to work immediately.
A patch test is always undertaken before the lip filler dissolving treatment is administered, to ensure the patient is not allergic to hyaluronidase.

-
What is lip filler dissolving treatment?
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase.
This prescription-only medicine can be injected into lips in targeted areas to break down unwanted lip filler, and encourage the body to reabsorb it.
-
Is lip filler dissolving treatment safe?
A patch test will be undertaken before the treatment is administered to ensure you will not have an allergic reaction to hyaluronidase.
There can be some risks as with any skin injectables. However, when they are administered by a trained medical professional, risks are minimised.
At Hannah London, every client will have in-depth consultation to manage your expectations.
-
Does lip filler dissolving treatment hurt?
To minimise any discomfort, we always apply a topical numbing cream.
As the lips are very sensitive, you may feel the pricking sensation of the needle.
-
What are the side effects of lip filler dissolving?
There are no major side effects of this treatment.
You may notice some tenderness, redness, or swelling, which is very normal and will subside within a few days.
A skin patch test before your treatment means that we are confident that the treatment is going to be safe for you.
In case of allergic reaction to the dissolving solution, we can test an alternative version of hyaluronidase.
-
What aftercare is required?
Your lips should not be touched for 48 hours after the injections. This includes scrubbing your lips or kissing.
Also, exercise should be avoided for a few days.
We advise that you should avoid using skincare products which contain active ingredients such as Beta Hydroxy Acid, vitamin C, retinols, or Alpha Hydroxy Acids, for 72 hours.
Your practitioner will give you full information about any aftercare requirements.
-
How quickly will I see results?
Once the hyaluronidase is injected, lip filler starts to break down immediately. After about 48 hours, you will notice a significant return to your natural lip size and shape.
We will discuss the treatment plan with you in depth beforehand. In some circumstances, more than one treatment is required to fully break down the lip filler.
-
What are the benefits of lip filler dissolving?
The benefits of lip filler dissolving include:
● A proven, safe way to restore your natural lip shape and size
