THE CONCERN
When a Filler Result No Longer Feels Like You
Filler results can shift over time, or simply turn out different from what you pictured: too much volume in one area, an asymmetry, product that has migrated, or a look you have simply outgrown. Wanting it undone is common, and nothing to be embarrassed about.
The worry we hear most is whether dissolving filler is safe, and whether it will remove more than intended, leaving the area looking hollow or uneven. That is a legitimate concern, and it depends heavily on dosing and technique.
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid specifically. Used conservatively, it can remove exactly the amount of filler needed, whether that is a full reversal or a partial, targeted correction.

This week was my first visit to Promethean and the experience was outstanding. The clinic is pristine and welcoming and the staff are professional and very attentive. I was a little nervous about some of the services I was having but everything was explained to me in detail.
THE TREATMENT
How Hyaluronidase Works
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid, the substance most dermal fillers are made from. Injected directly into the area, it dissolves the filler over the following one to two days, allowing the tissue to gradually return toward its pre-filler state.
At Promethean, hyaluronidase is dosed to the specific correction needed: a full dissolve for filler you want removed entirely, or a smaller, targeted amount to soften one area of asymmetry or excess while leaving the rest of a result intact. Note that hyaluronidase only dissolves hyaluronic acid fillers; it does not affect Sculptra or Radiesse, which are made from different materials.
Most patients see a visible reduction within 24 to 48 hours, with the full effect apparent by about a week. Individual results vary depending on how much filler is present and how long it has been in place. We will tell you honestly what result to expect before we begin.
HOW WE PRACTICE
The Promethean Standard, Applied
The same four disciplines govern every treatment we offer, including this one. This is what medically led means in practice.
- 01
Assess
A medical assessment of your health history, your anatomy, and your goals, and an honest answer on whether this treatment is right for you at all.
You leave knowing what is realistic for you.
- 02
Plan
A written plan for your treatment: dosing or settings, timing, cost, and what it will and will not change. Nothing added that does not serve the outcome.
You know exactly what to expect, and why.
- 03
Treat
Conservative technique from our nurse practitioner led, physician supported medical team, in our purpose built clinic at 1111 West Georgia Street.
You look like yourself, rested and well.
- 04
Care
Follow up to review your result, plus wellness and longevity support under one roof, over years rather than appointments.
A clinic that knows your whole picture.
BEFORE YOU DECIDE
What to Expect, and Who It Is For
What to Expect
- Consultation and assessment. A review of what filler was used, where, and how long ago, along with an honest opinion on whether hyaluronidase is the right approach for your situation.
- A written plan. Whether a full dissolve or a targeted, partial correction is recommended, and the cost, quoted in writing before treatment.
- The treatment. Usually 15 to 20 minutes. A small test dose may be recommended first for patients with any history of allergic reaction.
- Right after. Mild swelling or bruising at the injection site is normal and typically settles within a few days. You can return to your day immediately.
- The follow up. A one to two week review to assess how much filler has dissolved, with an additional dose only if genuinely needed to complete the correction.
Who It Is For, Honestly
Good candidates are patients who want to reduce, correct, or fully remove a hyaluronic acid filler result, whether from asymmetry, overfilling, migration, or a simple change of mind.
- We do not treat during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- We cannot dissolve Sculptra or Radiesse with hyaluronidase; those fillers are made from different materials that do not respond to this enzyme.
- We will decline to treat if a smaller, more conservative correction would achieve your goal just as well as a full dissolve.
If it is not right for you, we will say so, and we will tell you what would serve you better, even when that is nothing at all.
NATURAL RESULTS
Results That Still Look Like You
Natural results come from restraint: the lightest treatment that achieves the goal, and the discipline to stop there. Before anything is booked, we show you honestly what is achievable for your anatomy, and how results are likely to vary for you.
Beauty as a Spectrum is how we practice: every decade from the thirties onward, every skin tone, every style, held to the same standard. You, rested and well, never done. Individual results vary.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Hyaluronidase Questions, Answered
Straight answers, the same ones you would get in the treatment room.
- What does hyaluronidase treatment cost in Vancouver?
- Pricing depends on how much correction is needed; a small targeted dose costs less than a full dissolve. You receive an exact written quote at your consultation before anything is injected. We do not sell packages, and no one here earns commission on your plan.
- Do you offer payment plans or financing?
- We go over the full cost in writing at your consultation, before any treatment is booked. If a payment plan or financing option would help, we are happy to discuss what is available at that time, with no obligation to decide on the spot.
- What happens at the consultation, and how long does it take?
- Your consultation is a medical assessment, not a sales meeting. We review what filler was used, where, and how long ago, and give you an honest opinion on whether hyaluronidase is the right approach, including whether a full dissolve or a smaller, targeted correction fits your goal. It typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes, with no obligation to book anything afterward.
- How do I know if hyaluronidase is right for me?
- Good candidates want to reduce, correct, or fully remove a hyaluronic acid filler result, whether from asymmetry, overfilling, migration, or simply a change of mind. We do not treat during pregnancy or breastfeeding, we cannot dissolve Sculptra or Radiesse with this treatment since they are made from different materials, and we will decline to treat if a smaller, more conservative correction would achieve your goal just as well as a full dissolve.
- What is your rescheduling or cancellation policy?
- We ask that you let us know as early as possible if you need to reschedule or cancel, so we can offer the appointment to another patient. Exact notice windows are confirmed when you book, and we are always straightforward if you ask.
- Who performs the treatment?
- Your injector is an aesthetic physician or a registered nurse injector on our nurse practitioner led, physician supported team. Every treatment at Promethean is planned as medicine first.
- Does hyaluronidase dissolve every kind of filler?
- No, and this is the single most important thing to understand before booking. Hyaluronidase breaks down hyaluronic acid, so it works on hyaluronic acid fillers. It does nothing to calcium hydroxylapatite, poly L lactic acid, permanent fillers such as silicone, or fat transfer. If you do not know what was injected or where, tell us that, because it changes what is realistically possible.
- Can hyaluronidase dissolve lip filler?
- Yes. Most lip filler is hyaluronic acid, so hyaluronidase can dissolve it completely or soften just one area, such as filler that has migrated, which shows most in the lips, or a lump that has not settled. Most patients see a visible reduction within 24 to 48 hours, with the full effect by about a week, and we will tell you how long to wait before any new lip filler.
- Is an allergy test needed first?
- Hyaluronidase is derived from an animal source, and allergic reaction, while uncommon, is possible. Whether you are tested first depends on your history and on how urgent the treatment is. In an emergency correction, treating the occlusion takes priority over testing. In an elective dissolve, there is time to be careful. Tell us about any allergy history, particularly to bee or wasp stings.
- How soon after dissolving can I have filler again?
- Not the same day. Hyaluronidase stays active in the tissue for a period after it is injected, so filler placed too soon can be partly broken down before it settles. You also need the swelling to resolve before anyone can judge what is actually there and what the area needs. We will give you a specific interval based on how much was dissolved.
- Will I look worse before I look better?
- Very likely for a few days, and you should plan for it. Dissolving causes swelling, and the area can look deflated once the filler goes and before your own tissue settles, especially if the filler had been there a long time. It is not the final result. Do not book a dissolve in the week before an event.
