The lips looking back at you are not the lips you asked for. Or the cheeks sit wider than they should, and the area under your eyes puffs by mid-morning no matter how you slept.

Hyaluronic acid filler rarely fades on the timeline you were quoted. The product can sit in the tissue for years, drift above the lip border, or settle into the tear trough and stay put.

So you angle away from cameras and check every photo before anyone else sees it. That is a lot of energy spent on something that can be undone.

At Wellness IV Bar & Aesthetics, we undo it with Hylenex. This recombinant human hyaluronidase breaks hyaluronic acid filler apart so your body absorbs it and the area returns to your own proportions.

How Hylenex Works and What It Can Reverse

The enzyme targets hyaluronic acid specifically, which means it works on products like Juvederm, Restylane, RHA, and Belotero. It will not break down Sculptra, Radiesse, fat transfer, or permanent fillers, so confirming what you actually received is the first thing we do.

How much product is present and how deeply it sits determines whether one session is enough. Some corrections take two or three visits, and treatment at Wellness IV Bar runs $295 a session depending on the area.

Clients come to us for correction when they have:

Overfilled lips or a heavy ledge above the lip border
Product that migrated away from where it was originally placed
Puffiness or a bluish cast under the eyes from filler placed too superficially
Uneven results, with one side reading noticeably fuller than the other
Firm lumps or nodules that never smoothed out with massage
Years of layered filler and no clear sense of what sits underneath

Hyaluronidase also carries an urgent medical use. It is the treatment when filler compromises a blood vessel, and every injector placing hyaluronic acid should keep it stocked.

Who Should Consider Dissolving Filler?

Anyone carrying hyaluronic acid they no longer want is a candidate, whether it went in last month or four years ago. The real question is usually how much to take out, not whether you can.

Dissolving at Wellness IV Bar makes sense if you:

Want product cleared entirely before deciding whether to refill
Need one area softened while the rest of your filler stays exactly as it is
Feel your face has drifted away from your natural proportions
Are preparing for surgery or a treatment that needs a clean starting point
Were told by another provider that waiting it out is your only option

At consultation, we ask about bee sting allergy and any past reaction to hyaluronidase. Diane Genne, APRN, reviews your injection history, examines the area while you talk and smile, and tells you honestly how much can realistically come out in one visit.

Four Steps Back to Your Own Proportions

The Full History. Bring records from your original injector if you have them, including product names and dates. Where records are missing, we work from what your tissue shows us.
Reading the Face in Motion. Migrated filler often hides at rest and reveals itself when you speak or smile. Diane maps which areas hold product and how superficially it sits.
A Measured First Pass. We dose conservatively rather than flooding an area, because dissolving too aggressively leaves people looking deflated. Small, targeted placement gives us room to adjust later.
Forty-Eight Hours of Change. Most of the breakdown happens within two days, and the area keeps settling for roughly two weeks. Your review appointment gets booked before you walk out.

Reversible Is the Whole Point

Hyaluronic acid was chosen as an aesthetic material partly because it can be taken back out. You are not stuck with a result you never wanted, and you are not required to wait years hoping it softens on its own.

Most clients see meaningful change within 48 hours of a single visit. Wellness IV Bar & Aesthetics is appointment only, so call or text (813) 290-1994 to talk it through with Diane, or book your correction visit online.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How quickly does Hylenex dissolve filler?

Softening usually shows within 24 to 48 hours, and some clients notice a difference the same evening. The area keeps settling for about two weeks while your body clears the broken-down product. We review you at that point and decide together whether a second session would sharpen the result.

2. Will dissolving filler damage my own tissue?

The enzyme does break down some of the hyaluronic acid your body makes naturally, though your tissue replaces it within days to a couple of weeks. It has no effect on collagen, fat, or muscle. Conservative dosing protects the result, which is why we never flood an entire area at once.

3. How many sessions will I need in Tampa?

Many corrections finish in a single visit, though heavily layered or long-standing filler often takes two or three. We space sessions at least two weeks apart so the area fully settles before judging the outcome. Each session at Wellness IV Bar is $295, depending on the area treated.

4. When can I get new filler afterward?

Wait at least two weeks so the enzyme clears completely and the area settles into its true shape. Refilling too early risks the fresh product breaking down before it should. Many clients use that pause to rethink their plan rather than booking something straight away.

5. Does dissolving filler hurt?

The injections feel much like getting filler, and we numb the area beforehand. Lips are the most sensitive spot and can swell noticeably for a day or two. Bruising is possible but usually minor, and most people return to their normal routine the same afternoon.

6. What if I do not know what filler I have?

Bring whatever documentation you can find, including receipts, aftercare sheets, or messages from your previous injector. If nothing is available, Diane assesses how the product behaves in the tissue and treats cautiously. Anything that fails to respond to Hylenex is almost certainly not hyaluronic acid.
