Too much nasolabial fold filler - can I speed up how quickly it dissolves?

I can understand how frustrating it can feel when filler doesn’t settle the way you’d hoped — especially in such a noticeable area like the nasolabial folds.

You’re correct that hyaluronidase, the enzyme used to dissolve hyaluronic acid fillers, can sometimes break down a small amount of your skin’s natural hyaluronic acid too. However, this effect is typically temporary and minimal. In experienced hands, hyaluronidase can be used very precisely to gently reduce or fine-tune excess filler without causing harm or completely reversing all the results. It’s not only for emergencies — it’s also used for subtle corrections.

If you’d prefer to avoid dissolving it altogether, filler naturally metabolizes over time. Since it’s been about seven months, your body is already breaking it down. You can sometimes support this process through:

Gentle massage of the area (only if it’s soft and not inflamed)

Heat exposure, like warm compresses or sauna use, which can slightly increase circulation

Time and patience, as most fillers continue to fade gradually over 9–18 months

Unfortunately, there’s no completely safe at-home method to accelerate filler breakdown significantly. The safest and most predictable way remains a controlled, professional adjustment with hyaluronidase, if appropriate.

You’re not alone in feeling this way — filler balance can be delicate, and even small differences in placement or volume can change how natural it looks.

with an ultrasound guided Hyaluronidase injection to the area's of unwanted filler done by expert provider, you can still achieve a reliable results with no complications.
