Dermal Filler Dissolving Prices and Clinics in the UAE
Compare 87 clinics.

Dermal filler dissolving is an injection of the enzyme hyaluronidase, which breaks down hyaluronic-acid (HA) dermal filler that is already in the skin. It is used to reduce, reshape or reverse HA filler — for example an overfilled or lumpy area, filler that has spread or migrated from where it was placed, an uneven result, or to start fresh before new filler. It works on hyaluronic-acid fillers only; longer-lasting or permanent fillers are not dissolved by it. Hyaluronidase is also used by clinicians in urgent situations to manage a filler complication, which is a medical emergency handled separately from an elective dissolving appointment.

Filler dissolving is usually quoted per session, sometimes per area, and occasionally as a staged plan when a lot of filler is involved. A per-session price is not always the full cost, because dense or migrated filler can need more than one session. Prices are indicative and clinic-published; confirm which area a quote covers, whether a review or repeat session is included, and whether a skin or allergy test is extra before comparing.

The area being dissolved affects the price and the plan. Lips are one of the most common requests, while under-eye, cheeks, chin and jawline each have their own considerations. Live prices are shown for an area only where its pricing unit is known; otherwise a price is listed for context. A lip dissolving price should not be read as the price for a larger or more complex area.

• Lip filler dissolving — One of the most common requests; priced per session or per area.
• Under-eye (tear trough) filler dissolving
• Cheek / mid-face filler dissolving
• Dissolving migrated filler
• Dissolving before new filler
• Filler dissolving vs fat-dissolving injections

Dermal filler dissolving is most often quoted per session, sometimes per area, and occasionally as a staged plan. A single session does not always remove all of the filler — dense, layered or migrated filler can need more than one visit, and results are usually reviewed after the swelling settles. A per-session price can therefore look lower than the eventual total if more than one session is needed. When comparing, check whether the price is per session or per area, whether a review and any repeat session are included, and whether a skin or allergy test is part of the price. Prices are only comparable when they cover the same area and the same scope.

To compare like for like rather than by headline number alone, confirm what a quote covers before booking. These are the items that most often differ between clinics.

• Whether the price is per session or per area
• Whether a second session, if needed, is extra
• Whether a consultation and review are included
• Whether a skin/allergy test is included or extra
• That the filler being dissolved is hyaluronic-acid based
• Whether the figure is a starting price and applies to one branch

The enzyme used is hyaluronidase, which breaks down hyaluronic acid. It dissolves hyaluronic-acid dermal fillers, which are the most common type used for lips and face. It does not dissolve poly-L-lactic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, PMMA or silicone fillers, which are managed in other ways. Because of this, the first step is usually confirming what type of filler you have — a clinic may ask what was used and when. Hyaluronidase preparations differ, and the amount and technique are clinical decisions; this page does not present any preparation as universally superior.

The area and how much filler is present are usually the biggest drivers — a small lip correction is priced differently from dissolving several areas or dense, layered filler. Whether one session is enough or a repeat is needed changes the total. A skin or allergy test, a consultation and a review may be included or charged separately. The clinic’s location and the treating professional also affect the price. Because a single-session quote can look lower yet cost more once a repeat is counted, compare like for like and ask for the expected total.

The facts below are typical and general. Individual assessment by a licensed professional decides what applies to you.

Clinical name

Filler dissolving (hyaluronidase injection)

What it dissolves

Hyaluronic-acid fillers only

Common areas

Lips, under-eye, cheeks, chin/jawline

Sessions typical

One or more; depends on amount of filler

Onset

Often noticeable within a day or two

Before treatment

Skin/allergy test sometimes done first

Downtime

Usually short; temporary swelling/bruising possible

Insurance

Elective cosmetic use generally paid privately

Before treatment, a practitioner reviews the area, asks what filler was used and when, discusses your goal, and checks for allergies or other reasons the treatment may not suit you; some clinics carry out a skin or allergy test first. During treatment, hyaluronidase is injected into the area, sometimes with a numbing cream, and the visit is usually short. The area may be red, swollen or bruised for a short time afterwards. Results timeline: some change is often noticeable within a day or two as the filler breaks down, and the area is usually reviewed once the swelling settles. Dense, layered or migrated filler can need more than one session. If you plan to have new filler, the clinic will advise how long to wait. Results and the number of sessions vary between individuals.

Filler dissolving is generally well tolerated when performed by a trained, licensed practitioner, but suitability and risk depend on the area, the amount of filler and your health. Common, usually temporary effects can include redness, swelling, bruising and tenderness, and the enzyme can temporarily affect some of your skin’s own hyaluronic acid as well as the filler. An allergic reaction to hyaluronidase is possible, which is why some clinics do a skin or allergy test first and why the treatment should be done where reactions can be managed. Hyaluronidase is not suitable for everyone — an allergy to the enzyme, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or certain conditions need discussion first. A licensed professional should assess you before treatment, and you should seek medical advice promptly for signs of an allergic reaction, spreading pain, skin colour changes or other unusual symptoms afterwards.

Look beyond the headline number. Check which area the price covers, whether a review and any repeat session are included, and whether a skin or allergy test is part of the price. Confirm that the filler being dissolved is hyaluronic-acid based, and ask how the clinic manages a reaction if one occurs. The relevant facility and professional regulator depends on the clinic’s location. Where MediFinder shows a facility-licence status, it means the clinic’s licence was checked against the regulator’s available records — it is not an assessment of clinical quality or of who performs the treatment. Confirm the final quote and your suitability directly with the clinic before booking.
