Filler Dissolving Treatments in Newcastle
A medical treatment used to safely dissolve unwanted or problematic dermal filler.
​
Dermal fillers are designed to enhance facial structure and restore volume. However, in some situations filler may need to be removed — whether due to aesthetic concerns, migration, complications, or previous treatment performed elsewhere.
​
​
At Caelian House, filler dissolving is performed using hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers.
​
Treatment is approached carefully within a medical framework to ensure safety and appropriate management.
When filler dissolving may be appropriate
Filler dissolving may be considered in several situations
​
Aesthetic Concerns
• Overfilled or unnatural appearance
• Asymmetry
• Lumps or irregularities
• Filler migration
​
Correcting previous treatments
Some patients seek dissolving prior to undergoing a more balanced and conservative treatment plan.
​
Medical Complications
Although rare, complications such as vascular compromise require urgent medical treatment.
​
At Caelian House, both aesthetic corrections and medical indications are managed with appropriate clinical care.
What is Hyaluronidase?
​
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid, the substance used in most dermal fillers.
​
When injected into the treated area, it begins to dissolve the filler gradually, allowing the body to reabsorb it.

• Works only on hyaluronic acid fillers

Vascular Occlusion - An emergency complication of dermal fillers
A Medical Emergency
​
One of the most important roles of hyaluronidase in aesthetic medicine is the treatment of vascular occlusion.
This is a rare but serious complication where filler blocks a blood vessel, potentially compromising blood supply to the skin.
​
Signs that require urgent medical attention
​
• Sudden severe pain
• Skin blanching (pale or white areas)
• Mottled or dusky skin colour
• Delayed capillary refill
​
Prompt treatment with hyaluronidase is essential to restore blood flow and prevent tissue damage.
​
Emergency management at Caelian House
​
As a doctor-led clinic:
​
• Hyaluronidase is immediately available on site
• Complication management protocols are in place
• Appropriate escalation and referral pathways are followed where necessary
​
​
Patient safety is always the priority.
