At The Face Lab in Toronto, we’ve observed an emerging trend in aesthetic medicine: the increasing number of patients seeking to dissolve their dermal fillers. While fillers remain a transformative tool in achieving facial rejuvenation, contouring, and volume restoration, more people are opting to return to their natural look or start fresh with a more intentional approach to enhancements.
Here’s why this shift is happening and how we’re helping our clients navigate this journey with expertise and care.
The pendulum of beauty trends has swung towards a more natural and understated aesthetic. Many patients now prioritize treatments that subtly enhance their features, favouring balance and harmony over exaggerated volume.
Over time, layers of filler can lead to an unnatural or “puffy” appearance, sometimes referred to as "overfilled syndrome." This can occur from repeated treatments without adequate time for the previous filler to metabolize or when overly aggressive correction is applied.
As we age, our facial structure evolves. Filler that once complemented a youthful face may no longer align with a patient’s current features. Many clients choose to dissolve their filler to embrace a more age-appropriate, refreshed appearance.
Advances in aesthetic medicine have introduced treatments like SofWave, Tixel, and laser skin rejuvenation, which offer natural lifting, tightening, and skin revitalization without the need for excessive filler. Patients often dissolve filler to explore these newer, more holistic options.
Dissolving filler involves the use of hyaluronidase, an enzyme that safely breaks down hyaluronic acid fillers. The treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and tailored to the specific areas requiring adjustment. Results are typically seen within 24-48 hours, with any swelling resolving shortly after.
At The Face Lab, we also offer ultrasound-guided filler dissolving for increased precision and safety. This advanced approach allows our team to visualize the filler placement, ensuring a targeted and efficient dissolution process.
Our customized approach ensures that the dissolving process addresses your concerns while preserving the integrity of your natural features.
Once filler is dissolved, many patients are eager to reassess their goals and explore alternative treatments or refined techniques to achieve their desired look. Here’s how we can help:
By starting fresh, we can better align enhancements with your current facial structure and aesthetic goals. A customized treatment plan ensures balanced, natural results.
Non-invasive treatments like SofWave, Aerolase, PRFM, or Tixel offer excellent alternatives to filler by focusing on collagen stimulation, skin tightening, and rejuvenation for a youthful glow.
If filler is still the best option for your goals, our team uses advanced placement techniques to deliver results that are understated, precise, and designed to enhance your natural beauty.
At The Face Lab, we prioritize integrity, innovation, and diversity in beauty. Dissolving filler is not just a procedure—it’s an opportunity to reset and rethink your approach to aesthetics. Our team understands the nuances of facial anatomy and works with you to create a plan that reflects your unique goals and values.
Whether you’re looking to dissolve filler due to overcorrection, shifting trends, or simply a desire for change, our team at The Face Lab is here to help. The dissolution of filler is a medical procedure and requires assessment by a trained health practitioner to determine if it is an appropriate fit.
