Hyaluronidase Injections at Nargiza Aesthetics
Sometimes, less is more. Whether you’ve experienced overfilled lips, uneven results, or simply wish to reverse dermal fillers, Hyaluronidase Injections at Nargiza Aesthetics in Merrick, NY offer a gentle, effective solution. This treatment is designed to safely dissolve hyaluronic acid-based fillers, restoring balance and beauty while giving you the confidence to move forward with refreshed skin and a clean slate.
Hyaluronidase Injections Experience
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that naturally breaks down hyaluronic acid (HA) — the main ingredient in many dermal fillers such as Juvederm®, and RHA®. When injected into an area that has been treated with HA filler, Hyaluronidase works quickly to dissolve the filler, allowing the body to naturally metabolize and eliminate it.
At Nargiza Aesthetics, we use medical-grade Hyaluronidase to treat:
- Overfilled or migrated filler
- Lumps, bumps, or uneven texture
- Unwanted filler in lips, cheeks, or under eyes
- Vascular occlusion or complications (rare but urgent)
The procedure is precise and customizable. A small amount of Hyaluronidase is injected into the affected area using a fine needle. The enzyme begins breaking down the filler within minutes, with visible improvement typically seen within 24–48 hours. For some cases, multiple sessions may be required.
Most clients find the procedure quick, with minimal discomfort — and the emotional relief of regaining natural facial balance is immediate.
Treatment Purpose
The goal of Hyaluronidase is simple: to restore confidence by correcting or reversing unwanted filler results. Whether the issue is due to filler migration, asymmetry, overcorrection, or personal aesthetic preference, Hyaluronidase offers a safe way to press “reset.”
Our philosophy at Nargiza Aesthetics is that your results should feel as good as they look. If you're not happy with your filler — we can help.
- Common reasons clients choose Hyaluronidase:
- Overfilled lips or cheeks
- Lumpy or uneven texture
- Filler migration (e.g., into upper lip or tear troughs)
- Results that don’t align with expectations
- Medical necessity (e.g., vascular occlusion)
Treatment Outcome
Hyaluronidase works quickly, with most clients seeing noticeable results within 24–48 hours. The treated area typically returns to its natural appearance within a few days.
Reduced volume in the targeted area
Smoother, more even skin
Restoration of natural facial proportions
Relief from lumps or heaviness
A fresh canvas for future enhancement (if desired)
Depending on the amount of filler present and how long ago it was placed, multiple treatments may be needed for full correction. We always begin with a conservative approach and adjust based on your response and goals.
If you’re planning to reinject filler later, we usually recommend waiting at least 2 weeks after Hyaluronidase to allow the area to fully settle and heal.
Am I a Candidate?
Hyaluronidase is a great option for anyone who has had hyaluronic acid-based filler and wants to reverse or correct the results.
You’re likely a good candidate if you:
- Had filler that looks overdone or unnatural
- Are experiencing asymmetry or filler migration
- Have developed lumps or bumps under the skin
- Feel discomfort, tightness, or heaviness from filler
- Want to return to your natural features
You should not receive Hyaluronidase if you:
- Are allergic to Hyaluronidase (we’ll perform a patch test if needed)
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have had non-HA filler (like Sculptra® or Radiesse® — these cannot be dissolved with Hyaluronidase)
- Are experiencing active skin infection in the treatment area
During your consultation, we’ll thoroughly evaluate your medical history and the type of filler used to determine if this treatment is right for you.
Preparing for Treatment
Preparing for Hyaluronidase is simple and low maintenance — but a few steps can help minimize bruising and support smoother results.
Before your appointment:
We’ll answer all your questions, walk you through what to expect, and help you feel completely comfortable before proceeding.
Let us know if you’ve had allergic reactions in the past
Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and alcohol for 2–3 days pre-treatment
Arrive with a clean face and no makeup
Be ready to discuss your filler history (when, where, what product used)
Treatment Aftercare
Most clients return to normal activity right after treatment, but you may experience some mild swelling or tenderness in the treated area. Aftercare is easy and gentle.
Here’s what we recommend:
We’ll follow up with you after treatment to check your progress, and if additional sessions are needed, they can be scheduled once the area has fully settled.
- Apply a cold compress for the first few hours, if needed
- Avoid touching, pressing, or massaging the area
- Skip strenuous workouts for 24 hours
- Avoid alcohol, hot showers, and direct sunlight for 24–48 hours
- Refrain from re-filling the area for at least 2 weeks post-treatment
Treatment Side Effects
Hyaluronidase is very safe and well-tolerated by most individuals. Because it’s an enzyme the body already recognizes, the likelihood of complications is low.
Mild, temporary side effects may include:
- Redness, swelling, or tenderness at injection site
- Bruising or sensitivity
- Temporary over-correction (loss of more volume than intended)
In rare cases, allergic reactions can occur. That’s why we always conduct a thorough consultation, and we can perform a patch test for clients with sensitivities.
If too much filler is dissolved or your body breaks down more than expected, don’t worry — filler can always be reapplied later once things settle. You are never stuck with an undesired outcome.
Our priority is your comfort and confidence — and we’ll make sure you feel safe, informed, and supported throughout.
Applicable Body Parts
Hyaluronidase can be used anywhere that hyaluronic acid-based fillers were placed and need to be reversed or adjusted.
Common treatment areas include:
Lips (to correct overfilling, migration, or asymmetry)
Cheeks (to remove heaviness or puffiness)
Under-eye area (to address swelling or Tyndall effect)
Nasolabial folds
Chin or jawline
Hands (if filler placement was uneven)
Whether your concern is cosmetic or functional, we’ll tailor your treatment to the area and outcome you’re seeking.
What Our Patients Say About us
Frequently asked questions
How quickly does Hyaluronidase work?
You’ll usually see noticeable reduction in filler within 24 to 48 hours. Some clients see a difference within just a few hours post-treatment.
Will I lose all my filler or just some of it?
It depends on the dose used and how your body responds. We typically start with a conservative approach to target only the unwanted filler and preserve your desired volume where possible.
Is the treatment painful?
Most clients report mild discomfort — a pinch or light sting at the injection site. We use very fine needles and can apply numbing cream if needed.
How many sessions will I need?
One session is often enough, but some cases may require 2–3 treatments for complete correction depending on how much filler was present and how your body responds.
Can I get filler again after dissolving it?
Yes! We recommend waiting at least 2 weeks to allow the area to fully settle and heal before re-injecting.
Will I look deflated after dissolving filler?
You may notice less volume if significant filler is removed, but your natural facial structure will remain intact. In many cases, clients look more refreshed and balanced.
Is Hyaluronidase safe for everyone?
It’s safe for most clients, but we screen carefully and can perform a patch test for anyone concerned about allergic reactions.
What fillers can be dissolved with Hyaluronidase?
Only fillers made with hyaluronic acid — such as Juvederm®, Restylane®, Belotero®, and similar products. Other types like Sculptra® cannot be dissolved with this enzyme.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
Downtime is minimal — you might experience some swelling, bruising, or sensitivity for 1–3 days, but most clients resume normal activities right away.
Can I dissolve filler from another provider?
Yes. We regularly help clients correct filler done elsewhere — and we’ll walk you through the safest, most respectful process possible.

Myth:
It’s only for bad filler.
Fact:
Sometimes filler looks good at first but migrates later. Hyaluronidase is for any case where balance or comfort needs to be restored — no shame involved.
