Filler Dissolving in Coral Gables.
A careful reset, when needed. Hylenex is placed precisely to dissolve dermal filler that has migrated, overcorrected, or simply outstayed its welcome, the art of unbuilding, performed with the same restraint as building, by Marcella Valdes, MMS, PA-C.
What filler dissolving actually does.
Filler dissolving uses Hylenex, an injectable form of hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid. When placed precisely into an area of existing filler, it dissolves the product, allowing the body to naturally reabsorb it over the following days.
This treatment is used whenever filler needs to come out, whether it's migrated, become lumpy, overcorrected, or simply no longer fits your goals. It's the same considered, precise approach as any injectable at EMVEE, applied in reverse.
Is this right for you?
- You have filler that has migrated, become lumpy, or looks uneven
- You feel overcorrected or want to scale back a previous treatment
- You're not happy with filler placed elsewhere and want a fresh start
- You want to reset before pursuing a different filler or treatment approach
- You're 18 or older and in general good health, with no active skin infection in the treatment area
If you're experiencing sudden pain, blanching, or discoloration after a recent filler treatment, this may be a medical emergency. Contact your injector or seek emergency care immediately rather than waiting for a scheduled appointment.
Pricing, plainly.
How many vials are needed depends on how much filler is being dissolved and where. Your exact plan is determined at consultation.

Hylenex is an injectable form of hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid. It's used specifically to dissolve existing hyaluronic acid filler, allowing the body to naturally reabsorb it.
Hylenex begins working quickly, with noticeable dissolving often visible within 24 to 48 hours. Full results are typically seen within a few days as the body finishes reabsorbing the broken-down filler.
This depends on how much filler is present and where. Some areas may need only a small amount, while more extensive filler may require multiple vials or a follow-up session. This is assessed in person at consultation.
Hylenex can be dosed to target a specific area or amount, so it's possible to dissolve filler partially rather than completely, depending on your goals. This is discussed and planned together at consultation.
Yes, most patients can be re-treated with fresh filler once the treated area has settled, typically after about two weeks. Timing is confirmed based on your specific situation.
