Filler Dissolving in Horsham | Hyaluronidase Treatment
Filler dissolving in Horsham, West Sussex is a treatment used to remove or correct unwanted hyaluronic acid dermal fillers using a prescription medication called hyaluronidase.
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid, allowing the body to naturally absorb and remove the filler from the treated area.
This treatment can be used to adjust, refine or completely remove dermal filler when results are not as expected or when complications occur.
At Urban Aesthetics Horsham, filler dissolving is carried out under the guidance of a qualified medical prescriber to ensure the treatment is performed safely and appropriately.
