Can facial acupuncture dissolve facial derma fillers?

Question

I had facial derma fillers injected a few months ago and would like to know if facial acupuncture would have any effect on possibly dissolving the fillers .

Anteneh Roba, MD · Answer

Facial acupuncture should not dissolve the fillers put in your face, However, I would still avoid the areas filled when having acupuncture done.

Thuy Doan, MD · Answer

Acupuncture can not dissolve fillers. You have to literally inject the enzyme called Hylenex in order for HA to breakdown and dissolve. However, I would stay away from area where you had fillers place to prevent movement.  Hope this helps, Dr. Thuy Doan. Atlanta

Acupuncture needles are superficial. However avoid any needles in areas that have been injected with dermal fillers. Why? Introduction of bacteria into these areas. If you have had acupuncture in these areas, just watch for any redness or swelling.
