Filler Dissolver in Suffern, NY
Accidents happen, even in aesthetics. Maybe you tried lip fillers elsewhere and ended up with overfilled lips, or a bump in your tear trough filler is bothering you. Don’t worry – at Parpar Medical Spa, we offer HYNIDASE® 1500iu injections to remove or adjust hyaluronic acid fillers quickly and safely. This enzyme (hyaluronidase) is a game-changer when it comes to correcting filler mis-steps or resolving rare complications.
Our trained medical professionals in Suffern, NY can use Hynidase to artfully dissolve excess filler, helping you regain a balanced, beautiful look.
What is HYNIDASE and How Does it Work?
HYNIDASE 1500IU is a purified form of hyaluronidase, an enzyme that specifically breaks down hyaluronic acid (HA). Since most popular dermal fillers (like Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, etc.) are made of HA, Hynidase acts like an “eraser” for those fillers.
When injected into an area where HA filler is present, Hynidase rapidly depolymerizes the hyaluronic acid gel, essentially melting it away by increasing tissue permeability and dispersing the filler. The HA filler gets absorbed and eliminated by the body’s natural processes. In plain terms: it makes the filler go away
Key points about Hynidase:
It only targets hyaluronic acid-based fillers. It doesn’t affect other substances (so it won’t dissolve things like Radiesse or Sculptra, and it has no effect on your body’s own collagen or other tissue structure).
The enzyme action is quick – initial reduction of filler can often be seen in minutes to hours, with full effect within 24-48 hours
It’s often used in cases of over-correction (too much filler) or uneven results. It’s also the first line treatment for certain filler complications like accidental injection into a blood vessel or severe swelling, because it can stop those issues promptly.
One HYNIDASE treatment can often dissolve most or all of the unwanted filler in the area, though in some cases a follow-up session is needed if the filler was very dense or if only partial reduction is desired.
Product Strength
Each vial of HYNIDASE contains 1500 International Units. We reconstitute it before injection. The amount used depends on the volume of filler to dissolve – our provider will tailor the dosage to achieve the right amount of correction (we can do a little to fine-tune, or more to remove nearly everything).
Parpar Medical Spa uses medical-grade Hynidase and adheres to strict protocols to ensure effective and safe results when correcting fillers. We understand that trusting someone to remove filler is as important as trusting them to inject it in the first place – our experienced clinicians have you covered on both ends.
Why Might You Need Filler Dissolver?
Overfilled Appearance
Perhaps you tried a new injector and ended up with “duck lips” or overly puffy cheeks that just don’t feel like you. Hynidase can dial it back to restore a more natural contour
Uneven or Lumpy Results
Sometimes filler can create irregularities – a bump here, a ridge there. We can inject Hynidase precisely into those lumps to smooth things out
Migration
Fillers can occasionally shift or “migrate” into unintended areas over time (for example, lip filler moving above the lip border). Dissolving the migrated filler can return your anatomy to normal.
Change of Aesthetic Preference
Maybe you loved your full cheeks last year, but this year you’re into a slimmer look. Rather than waiting 1-2 years for filler to naturally wear off, Hynidase gives you a reset on demand.
Complication Management
In rare cases, fillers can cause issues like vessel occlusion (blood flow blockage) or severe swelling/allergy. Hynidase is used emergently in those cases to prevent tissue damage. (Important note: At Parpar we have never had a severe complication, but we are fully prepared – having Hynidase on hand is one reason we insist on using hyaluronic fillers in most areas for safety.)
No matter the reason, know that wanting an adjustment is okay! We’re here to help, not judge. Our team will listen to your concerns and create a plan – whether it’s complete dissolving and starting fresh, or just a minor tweak to refine the outcome.
The Hynidase Correction Process
Consultation & Assessment
We begin by examining the areas you’re concerned about and discussing what filler was placed (type and when, if known). If you have information from your previous provider, great – if not, we can often deduce the likely product by location and feel. We’ll decide on a plan: sometimes full removal is best, other times we aim for partial dissolve to tone down an area.
Informed Consent
Hynidase use is very safe, but we will review potential risks (like rare allergic reaction) and benefits. We may do a patch test with a tiny drop of Hynidase on your forearm or a small injection in the area to ensure no sensitivity, especially if you have a history of allergies. Allergic reactions to hyaluronidase are uncommon but can occur, so we stay observant.
Numbing
We typically apply a bit of topical anesthetic or ice to the area because the injection can sting slightly (hyaluronidase’s pH can cause a mild burning sensation). We also dilute the Hynidase with saline and sometimes a bit of lidocaine to make it more comfortable.
Injection
Using a fine needle or cannula, we inject the Hynidase into the areas where the unwanted filler resides. Because hyaluronic fillers are usually gel-like and distributed, we might do a series of small injections to cover the area thoroughly. The enzyme starts working immediately – often the tissue will feel softer within minutes as the filler begins to break apart.
Massage
After injection, we may gently massage the area to help distribute the enzyme throughout the filler. This ensures thorough action.
Wait & Observe
We’ll have you hang out for about 15-20 minutes after the procedure so we can observe the initial response. In many cases, you’ll actually see the area reduce in volume during this time. This immediate change can be quite dramatic if a lot of filler was present. We compare before/after in the mirror to ensure we’re seeing the desired effect
Additional Injections if Needed
If some filler persists and it’s safe to do more in that same visit, we might inject a bit more Hynidase. Otherwise, we might schedule a follow-up in a week to assess and possibly retreat. Patience is key – we’d rather dissolve gradually than overcorrect (though overcorrection isn’t usually a worry because your body naturally has some HA we don’t want to eliminate too much of Hynidase effect dissipates quickly once it’s done its job).
Aftercare
There’s very minimal aftercare needed. We advise against rubbing or manipulating the area for the rest of the day (to avoid spreading the enzyme beyond where we want it). You might have mild swelling or redness from the injections, which typically resolves in hours to a day. Bruising is possible but often less than with filler injections since we often use fewer injection points. You can apply cold
compresses later that day if there’s swelling. Most importantly, avoid scheduling any new filler in that same area for at least 2 days after dissolving – the enzyme remains active for about 48 hours, so any new HA filler injected in that window could also be broken down. We usually wait about one week after dissolving before doing any re-filling to let the area calm down and any enzyme fully clear
Follow-Up
We will see you in about 1-2 weeks post-dissolve to check that the issue is fully resolved. If you plan to get filler re-done correctly, this is when we’d do it (ensuring a clean slate and no lingering enzyme). Our clients really appreciate this chance to “start over” with our skilled injectors if their initial experience elsewhere wasn’t ideal.
Why Choose Parpar for Filler Correction?
Experienced Aesthetic Clinicians
We are not only experts in injecting fillers, but also in dissolving them appropriately. Our team has extensive knowledge of facial anatomy and how different fillers behave, which is crucial in determining how to best remove them. Improper dissolving (for instance, using too much enzyme or injecting in wrong plane) can lead to suboptimal outcomes – our expertise ensures that we precisely target the filler without unnecessary effect on the surrounding tissue.
Conservative, Stepwise Approach
We understand that sometimes you might not want all the filler gone – just toned down. We can attempt a partial dissolve by using a weaker concentration or limited amount of Hynidase, essentially fine-tuning your results. We always err on the side of caution; you can dissolve more if needed, but once it’s gone, it’s gone (until re-injection). Our goal is to reach your aesthetic ideal.
Focus on Safety
Hynidase is a medication, and we use it judiciously. We obtain it from reputable medical sources to ensure potency and purity. Emergency use of hyaluronidase (for filler complications) is something we train for regularly – thankfully rare, but it means we are prepared and confident using this enzyme. You’re in capable, medically trained hands.
Seamless Transition to Re-Treatment
If your plan is to dissolve and then have the filler done correctly, we’ve got you. Parpar can often perform the dissolve and then, at a later appointment, re-inject new filler in the area with improved technique and artistry. This continuity means you won’t be left hanging with no volume if you still desire it; we’ll guide you through the whole correction journey.

Your concerns will be heard with empathy. We maintain strict confidentiality and will help you navigate this situation with support and reassurance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast does Hynidase dissolve filler?
Very fast! In fact, during the injection visit itself, we often see some immediate flattening or softening of the treated area within 5-10 minutes. The bulk of the filler breakdown occurs in the first 24 hours. By the next day, you’ll have a pretty good idea of how much filler is gone. We schedule follow-ups around day 2-7 to evaluate – by that time, the process is complete. If there’s still residual filler, we can administer more Hynidase at that follow-up. In summary, you get much of the result within one day, which is quite satisfying when you’re eager to fix something.
Will Hynidase remove all of the filler completely?
It can, yes. Our approach can be tuned: if the goal is total removal, we’ll use an ample dose and thoroughly treat the area to dissolve as much HA as possible. If the goal is partial (maybe you liked 50% of your lip filler but want the rest gone), we can try a more moderate dose to fine-tune. It’s not an exact science to remove precisely X% – sometimes it might remove a little more or less than intended – but we err on modest dissolving first if partial reduction is the aim. One treatment often removes the majority of filler in the area. Stubborn deep filler or very cross-linked products might need a second round. Some fillers like Voluma (which is highly crosslinked for longevity) can be a bit more resistant, but rest assured, repeat Hynidase applications will get the job done. We continue until you’re happy with the outcome.
Are there any risks or side effects to dissolving filler?
Side effects are generally mild and localized: swelling, redness, potential bruising at injection sites, and sometimes a bit of tenderness or mild itching as the enzyme works. These resolve quickly. One consideration is that when we dissolve filler in an area that had it for a long time, you might feel a bit “sunken” or loose afterward – not because Hynidase damaged anything, but simply because you became used to the volume that’s now gone. In rare cases, people have reported some skin laxity after dissolving very large amounts of filler (because the skin was stretched by filler and now isn’t). However, skin often contracts back over a few weeks, and we can always do skin-tightening treatments or replace a small amount of filler if needed. Allergic reaction is the more serious risk, though quite uncommon. Symptoms could include rash, swelling, or in very rare instances anaphylactic reaction. We take precautions like patch testing if needed, and we’re fully equipped to manage any reaction promptly. If you have a bee sting allergy or known allergy to Hymenoptera venom, let us know – there’s a slight cross-reactivity possibility with hyaluronidase (since it’s derived from ovine sources). Overall, Hynidase has a strong safety record in the aesthetics world, and complications are few and far between.
Can Hynidase dissolve natural hyaluronic acid? Will it make my skin sag or age faster after?
This is a common worry. Hynidase does not distinguish between injected HA and your body’s own HA – it will break down HA in the vicinity. However, the amount of your natural HA it might affect is minimal and your body constantly produces HA as part of normal skin turnover. The enzyme has a short activity span (a matter of hours) and then is done. It’s used in medical scenarios to help spread fluids and has been found safe in terms of tissue health. Some people notice the treated area looks “as it did before filler” – which can sometimes feel like a regression if you’ve had filler for a while, but it’s just your true baseline. There’s no evidence that hyaluronidase ages the skin or causes long-term damage. In fact, your fibroblasts and tissues remain intact; only the gel is gone. If anything, by removing excess filler that was stretching or compressing tissue, you allow your tissues to function normally again. Any mild laxity seen after dissolving was likely from the skin being stretched by filler, not from the enzyme harming collagen. Your skin’s collagen and elastin network remain as they were pre-filler (which for some may be a bit lax due to aging, but that’s not worsened by dissolving). If residual swelling is present, that can temporarily make skin look
firmer, and once swelling subsides, you see reality. Rest assured, dissolving a filler will not make you “older” – it just makes you look like you did before that filler was placed. And if that’s not good enough for you, we can always plan a better filler or alternative treatment to get the result you want.
How soon after dissolving can I get new filler?
We generally advise waiting about 5-7 days after Hynidase before injecting filler in the same area. This ensures the hyaluronidase enzyme is completely gone (it’s typically cleared within 48 hours, but we give a buffer). If you inject new filler too soon, there’s a risk the lingering enzyme could break that down too. So, a little patience pays off. In the meantime, between appointments, you might enjoy the “reset” look or, if volume loss is a concern, just know it’s temporary until we refill. We’ll often book your follow-up filler appointment at the time of dissolving, spaced a week or so later, so you have it on the calendar and don’t have to wait long for your final result. Some minor areas (like if we dissolved a bump on one lip) might be refilled sooner, but as a rule we stick to about a week. During your follow-up, we’ll confirm the old filler is fully gone and the tissue is ready, then proceed to enhance with fresh filler or corrections as discussed. The new result plus your comfort in knowing it’s just right will be worth that short wait!
