Sometimes, the most powerful aesthetic choice you can make is to press “reset.” At Apollo House, our physician-led filler dissolving protocols allow you to reverse unwanted, migrated, or overfilled results with medical precision, restoring your natural anatomy and preparing your canvas for a fresh, authentic start.
Why Choose Apollo House for Hylenex Filler Dissolver?
Aesthetic journeys aren’t always linear; sometimes, previous treatments from other providers result in migration, asymmetry, or an “overdone” look that masks your true vitality.
- Medical Expertise First: Filler reversal is a medical procedure requiring deep anatomical knowledge to ensure safety and efficacy. At Apollo House, your care is overseen by Dr. Michael Ghalchi, a board-certified cardiologist, and a licensed clinical team who prioritize vascular safety and tissue health above all else.
- Integration with Longevity: We view filler dissolving not just as a “fix,” but as a strategic step in your longevity journey. By removing old, stagnant filler, we clear the path for regenerative treatments, like PRF or Sculptra, that build real tissue and restore youthful structure naturally, rather than simply inflating the face.
- Natural, Personalized Results: Our philosophy is “Look Fresh, Feel Strong.” If old filler is weighing down your features or creating a distorted “pillow face,” we gently dissolve it to reveal the elite, authentic version of you underneath.
About Hylenex Filler Dissolver: What You Need to Know
What is Hylenex?
Hylenex (hyaluronidase) is an FDA-approved enzyme that acts as a “molecular key,” unlocking and breaking down hyaluronic acid (HA), the primary ingredient in fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, and our own premium options. When injected into an area with existing filler, Hylenex triggers a process called hydrolysis, liquefying the HA gel so your body can naturally metabolize and flush it out.
What Hylenex Treats
This targeted therapy is the gold standard for correcting a wide range of filler-related concerns:
- Filler Migration: Corrects “duck lips” or spread filler above the vermilion border.
- The Tyndall Effect: Resolves the bluish tint that occurs when filler is placed too superficially, often seen under the eyes.
- Asymmetry & Lumps: Smooths out nodules or unevenness from previous injections.
- “Pillow Face” & Overfilling: Reduces excessive volume to restore your natural facial contours.
- Vascular Occlusion: A critical emergency application where Hylenex is used to dissolve filler blocking a blood vessel, preventing tissue damage.
Expected Results & Timeline
- Immediate Action: The enzyme begins working upon contact. You may see a softening of the area within minutes.
- Full Resolution: While the chemical reaction is fast, residual swelling is common. You will typically see the final, “reset” result within 24 to 48 hours.
- The “Reset”: Once dissolved, the filler is gone permanently. However, your natural tissue remains, allowing us to re-assess and re-treat (if desired) with greater precision after a 2-week healing period.
Whether you seek aesthetic refinement or deep cellular recovery, our evidence-based protocols are designed to help you live vibrantly at every age.
The Apollo House Hylenex Experience
We don’t just dissolve filler; we manage your total aesthetic restoration.
Pillar 1: Medical Precision
Corrective work is often more complex than the initial injection. Our clinical team utilizes advanced anatomical assessment to determine the precise depth and volume of the unwanted filler. Because our clinic is led by a board-certified cardiologist, our safety protocols, especially regarding vascular health, are vastly superior to standard aesthetic centers.
Pillar 2: Holistic Integration
At Apollo House, we treat the whole person. Dissolving filler is often the perfect time to pivot your strategy toward regenerative aesthetics. Once your canvas is clear, we can transition you to:
- Sculptra: To stimulate your own collagen production for natural volume.
- Morpheus8: To tighten skin that may have been stretched by chronic overfilling.
- PRP/PRF: To rejuvenate the skin quality in the dissolved area using your body’s own growth factors.
Pillar 3: Exclusive, Personalized Care
As a destination limited to 150 Founding Members, we have the time to listen to your history. We don’t believe in a “one-dose-fits-all” approach. We titrate the Hylenex dosage carefully, using micro-doses for subtle refinement or larger concentrations for complete reversal, ensuring we preserve your natural hyaluronic acid while targeting the synthetic filler.
Pillar 4: Results with Purpose
Our goal is to restore your confidence. Many clients come to us feeling self-conscious about “botched” work from elsewhere. We provide a judgment-free, supportive environment where the goal is to get you back to looking like yourself, fresh, strong, and unburdened by heavy, migrated product.
Is Hylenex Filler Dissolver Right for You?
This treatment is ideal for busy professionals and aesthetic-conscious individuals who:
- Feel their previous filler results look unnatural, stiff, or “puffy.”
- Have noticed their lip filler migrating towards the nose (the “filler mustache”).
- Are experiencing “filler fatigue,” where years of layering product has distorted their natural features.
- Want to transition from a “filled” look to a more natural, collagen-focused aesthetic (like Sculptra or Potenza).
- Note: Hylenex only works on Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers (e.g., Juvederm, Restylane). It does not dissolve Radiesse, Sculptra, or permanent silicone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the filler dissolving process painful?
Most patients find the discomfort minimal. The Hylenex solution is often mixed with lidocaine (a numbing agent), and we can apply a topical anesthetic beforehand to ensure your comfort. You may feel a slight “sting” initially, but it is very brief.
Will Hylenex dissolve my natural tissue?
This is a common myth. While Hylenex degrades hyaluronic acid, your body regenerates its own natural HA every 24-48 hours. Any impact on your natural tissue is temporary and minimal. The enzyme preferentially targets the highly cross-linked HA found in fillers.
How soon can I get filler again after dissolving?
We recommend waiting 2 weeks after your Hylenex treatment. This allows all swelling to subside and the enzyme to fully clear from your system, ensuring your new filler is placed on a stable, neutral canvas.
Why choose a physician-led clinic like Apollo House for dissolving?
Filler reversal involves enzymatic reactions and potential tissue responses that require medical oversight. Our physician-led model ensures that if you are dissolving due to a complication (like vascular compromise) or complex migration, you have the highest level of safety and expertise guiding the procedure.
Can you dissolve just “a little bit” of filler?
Yes. We specialize in “partial correction.” By using diluted concentrations and precise injection techniques, we can subtly soften a lump or slightly reduce volume without removing the entire treatment.
What are the side effects?
Common side effects include mild swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection site, which typically resolve within a few days. Allergic reactions are rare, but our medical team is fully equipped to manage any sensitivities.
Does Hylenex work on all fillers?
It works exclusively on Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, and Versa. It does not work on biostimulators like Sculptra or Radiesse.
How much does Hylenex Filler Dissolving cost in NYC?
Pricing varies based on the complexity of the correction and the number of vials required. As a specialized medical service, we provide a personalized quote during your consultation. Founding Members receive preferential pricing on all corrective and aesthetic services.
