Filler Dissolving in Edmonton
Hyaluronidase treatment by an award-winning RN for clients seeking correction or refresh.
Whether you're concerned about migration, lumps, asymmetry, or simply want a clean reset, dissolving hyaluronic acid filler is a professional, controlled process. At Nurse Injector Shayse's Edmonton studio, dissolving is performed using Health Canada-approved hyaluronidase, with a thorough assessment first. Results vary by individual.
When Filler Dissolving Is the Right Choice
Edmonton clients consult about dissolving for a small set of reasons. None of them are urgent or stigmatizing — dissolving is a tool, not a failure.
Filler migration
Product has moved outside the original placement area — common with lip filler that drifts above the vermilion border, or cheek filler that settles unevenly.
Lumps or palpable nodules
Areas of denser filler that haven't smoothed after massage, time, or follow-up. Some lumps resolve on their own; others benefit from hyaluronidase.
Asymmetry
Sides that don't match — sometimes from uneven placement, sometimes from natural facial asymmetry exaggerated by filler. Targeted dissolving rebalances.
A fresh start
You simply want to reset and try a different approach — different injector, different product, different aesthetic. Dissolving is the clean slate for that.
How Hyaluronidase Works
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of hyaluronic acid — the same hyaluronic acid that is the active ingredient in Juvéderm, Restylane, Teosyal, Belotero, and most other modern dermal fillers used in Edmonton clinics.
When injected into the area of filler, the enzyme accelerates the breakdown process that the body already performs naturally over months. Most of the visible reduction happens in the first 24 to 48 hours, with full effect typically settled within 3 to 7 days. The product is metabolized and cleared by the body.
Hyaluronidase only dissolves hyaluronic acid. It does not dissolve Sculptra, Radiesse, or any non-HA filler types. If you're unsure what filler was used in a prior treatment, your consultation can usually identify the likely product from the treatment area, history, and clinical findings.
What to Expect at Your Consultation
Every Edmonton filler-dissolving appointment begins with an assessment — not an assumption. Shayse, RN reviews the area of concern, the suspected filler type, your medical history (especially allergies), and your goals for the dissolving treatment.
For clients with allergy history, a spot test may be recommended before full dissolving. The clinical assessment also confirms that hyaluronidase is the right tool — some texture or shape concerns are time-sensitive rather than filler-driven, and a brief observation period may be the recommendation.
Pricing is reviewed before any product is drawn up — transparent, per-session, no surprises. If you decide to proceed, treatment is administered the same day. A written aftercare plan and follow-up timeline go home with you.
Same-Week Consultations for Edmonton Clients
If you have a concern about recent filler — a lump, migration, or visible asymmetry — same-week consultation availability is typical. Edmonton clients booking through Jane App can usually see appointment slots within the next few business days for an initial assessment.
For non-urgent dissolving where you're considering a fresh start at your own pace, scheduling is flexible. The dissolving session itself takes about 30 to 45 minutes including consultation, assessment, and treatment.
Booking note: Shayse personally performs every dissolving treatment. There is no rotation of injectors — the same RN consults, assesses, and treats. Continuity matters most when you're correcting prior work.
After Dissolving: Your Options
Once your treated area has fully settled — typically 1 to 2 weeks after the dissolving session — you have three paths.
- Full reset. Return to your baseline shape and continue without filler. Many clients are surprised at how their natural anatomy looks and choose to live with it for a while.
- Partial correction. Re-treat selectively, addressing only the specific concerns that originally prompted you to seek filler — with a more conservative plan informed by what you learned from the prior result.
- Refill with a different approach. Same area, different technique, different product, or different injector. A planned re-fill starts from a fresh assessment with no guesswork about what's already in place.
Your follow-up consultation reviews each option in the context of your specific anatomy and goals — without pressure to immediately re-book treatment.
Why Choose an Award-Winning RN for Dissolving
Dissolving prior filler work is technically the same procedure regardless of who performs it — but the clinical setting and the injector experience matter materially.
Nurse Injector Shayse is a CRNA-regulated Registered Nurse with specialized training in cosmetic injectable therapies. She operates under CRNA Standard C.01.044 in a medical-grade Edmonton studio at 8813 63 Ave NW, with a collaborating prescriber on file and Health Canada-approved hyaluronidase. Each session is performed by the same RN — no rotation of providers.
For clients correcting work done elsewhere: discretion and continuity matter. The conversation is focused on your anatomy and your goals — never on disparaging the prior practitioner.
Filler Dissolving FAQ — Edmonton
What is hyaluronidase and how does it dissolve filler?
Hyaluronidase is a naturally occurring enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid — the active ingredient in most modern dermal fillers (Juvéderm, Restylane, Teosyal, Belotero). When injected into the area of filler, it accelerates the body's normal breakdown process, returning treated tissue to its baseline shape over 24 to 48 hours. Health Canada-approved hyaluronidase is used at Nurse Injector Shayse.
How long does it take for hyaluronidase to work?
Most clients in Edmonton see visible filler reduction within 24 to 48 hours of the appointment, with full effect typically settled by day 3 to 7. Larger volumes or denser placements may take a second session. Your follow-up assessment determines whether a second dissolving session is needed. Results vary by individual.
Is dissolving filler safe?
When performed by a CRNA-regulated RN with proper allergy screening, hyaluronidase has a well-established safety profile. A spot test is recommended before full dissolving for clients with a history of allergies. Risks and contraindications are discussed at consultation. Results vary by individual.
How much does it cost to dissolve filler in Edmonton?
Dissolving filler in Edmonton is typically priced per session, with cost depending on the volume of filler being addressed and the area treated. A single dissolving session covers most concerns; complex cases involving multiple syringes or older filler may require a second visit. Transparent per-session pricing is confirmed at your consultation before treatment.
Can all dermal fillers be dissolved?
Hyaluronidase only dissolves hyaluronic acid-based fillers — including Juvéderm, Restylane, Teosyal, Belotero, and similar HA products. Non-HA fillers such as Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid), Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite), and any permanent or semi-permanent filler types cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Your consultation reviews the type of filler involved if known.
What happens after filler is dissolved?
Treated areas return to their pre-filler baseline shape — sometimes with minor temporary swelling for 24 to 72 hours. Some clients describe a 'familiar' or 'natural again' sensation as their original facial proportions return. Bruising is possible but typically minimal. Aftercare instructions are provided in writing.
Can I get new filler immediately after dissolving?
It is generally recommended to wait at least 2 weeks after dissolving before placing new filler. This allows the area to fully settle, swelling to resolve, and the new placement to be planned against an accurate baseline. Some clients choose to wait longer to fully reassess; others book the new filler immediately at the 2-week mark.
Does dissolving filler hurt more than getting filler?
Most Edmonton clients describe dissolving as comparable to — or slightly less uncomfortable than — the original filler treatment. Topical numbing is applied, and the injection technique uses fewer, more targeted entry points. Discomfort is typically brief.
Will my lips, cheeks, or face go back to their original shape?
Yes — once dissolved, hyaluronic acid filler is broken down and the treated area returns to its baseline shape. There is no permanent change. Some clients are surprised at how their face looked before filler, especially if the original treatment was years ago. Results vary by individual.
Why would I dissolve filler I just got?
Common reasons include filler that migrated outside the intended area, lumps or palpable nodules that haven't smoothed with time, asymmetry that needs correction, an aesthetic outcome that doesn't match goals, or simply a desire to start over with a different approach. Edmonton clients can book a consultation to discuss whether dissolving is the right next step.
