Pause retinol or exfoliating acids for 2–3 days.
Arrive with clean skin and no makeup.
Let your provider know if you bruise easily, take blood thinners, smoke, have an autoimmune condition, a history of cold sores, any active infection (including acne), allergies (bee stings), recent dental work or vaccines, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

After your appointment
Massage lightly every 2-3 hours with clean fingers. Arnica as directed.
A Lip Dissolve appointment is ideal for patients wanting to correct migrated filler, soften overfilled areas, or return to a more natural lip shape. Using hyaluronidase (Hylenex®), an enzyme that safely breaks down hyaluronic acid filler, your provider evaluates your lip structure and precisely dissolves unwanted product to restore balance.
This appointment focuses on improving lip definition, correcting asymmetry, and removing heaviness or puffiness caused by misplaced or excessive filler.
The result is a cleaner, more refined lip contour that creates a healthy foundation for either a natural look or a future refill placed with a refined technique.
