For non-HA products, reversal is limited; our clinicians evaluate and propose the safest corrective plan, including dissolvers or conservative filler adjustment.

Many patients notice immediate improvement, especially with volume and contouring, though initial swelling can exaggerate results. Final outcomes settle over two weeks as swelling subsides. Your injector will schedule follow-ups to assess results and recommend touch-ups if necessary.
