Unhappy with previous filler?
If your filler has migrated above the lip line, looks lumpy or overfilled, or just isn’t what you hoped for, it can usually be dissolved. We welcome patients treated at other clinics, and there is no judgement: many people come to us to start again.
Filler dissolving involves a prescription treatment, so you will always have a face-to-face consultation with Kelsie Arandjelovic, our aesthetic nurse prescriber, before anything is done.

Advice
Not sure if it can be dissolved? Ask us.
What to expect
- Kelsie assesses the area and, where possible, asks about your previous treatment and which product was used.
- She explains your options, what to expect, and whether dissolving all or some of the filler is best.
- Treatment starts with a skin test to check you don’t react.
- After treatment you stay with us for 60 minutes, so we can make sure you are well before you leave.
- Some people need more than one session. If you want new filler, it is usually best to wait a few weeks for the area to settle.

Why a medical clinic matters
Why have filler dissolved in a medical clinic
Dissolving filler involves a prescription treatment and occasionally an allergic reaction. It belongs in a medical setting, with a prescriber who can assess you, treat you and manage anything unexpected on the spot.
A regulated medical clinic
Excel Clinic is registered with and inspected by Healthcare Inspectorate Wales. The same clinical governance, infection control and record-keeping that apply to our surgical work apply to every aesthetic treatment.
Doctors and surgeons on site
Aesthetics sits alongside our surgical, skin and medical services, delivered by doctors and consultant surgeons. Our practitioner works within a wider clinical team, not on her own.
Assessed, prescribed and treated by one person
Kelsie is an independent prescriber, so she can assess you, prescribe where needed and treat you herself. Remote prescribing for cosmetic injectables is not permitted in the UK, and we never rely on it.
Complications managed in-house
If anything doesn’t go to plan, you won’t be told to see your GP. Kelsie can assess and treat complications herself, filler can be dissolved on site, and the clinic has medical emergency protocols and equipment.
Clinical treatment rooms
Treatments take place in clinical rooms in a purpose-fitted medical clinic, designed and cleaned to the standards needed for minor surgery.
Professional accountability
Registered healthcare professionals, full medical records, clinical insurance and a formal complaints procedure. You know exactly who is responsible for your care, and how to check their registration.
Alongside our cosmetic surgery service
Our aesthetics service works alongside our cosmetic surgery service, so if a non-surgical treatment isn’t the right answer for you, our consultant surgeons are under the same roof. That might mean lip lift surgery for a long upper lip, or eyelid surgery for heavy or hooded eyelids. There’s no pressure either way: our aim is simply to recommend the treatment that’s right for you.

Every aesthetic treatment at Excel Clinic is planned and carried out by Kelsie, a registered nurse and independent prescriber with four years’ experience in medical aesthetics. She is a member of the Aesthetic Complications Expert (ACE) Group and the Royal College of Nursing.

Risks and side effects
- Common: swelling, redness, itching or tenderness for a day or two.
- Expected: the area may look flatter or emptier than before you had filler, for a short time, as your natural tissue settles.
- Uncommon: an allergic reaction. This is why we do a skin test and keep you under observation for 60 minutes, with medical emergency equipment on site.
- It may dissolve some of your own natural hyaluronic acid too, which replenishes over time.
Aftercare
First 24 hours
- Avoid make-up and touching the area
- Avoid alcohol, heat and strenuous exercise
Over the next weeks
- Allow two weeks before judging the result
- Wait a few weeks before any new filler
Contact us urgently if…
- You notice swelling of the face, lips or throat, or difficulty breathing
- You develop a widespread rash

What our patients say
Frequently asked questions
Can you dissolve filler done at another clinic?
Yes. We welcome patients treated elsewhere. It helps if you know which product was used, but it isn’t essential.
Which fillers can be dissolved?
Hyaluronic acid fillers, which are the most common type. Other types of filler can’t be dissolved in the same way.
How much does filler dissolving cost in Cardiff?
Filler dissolving is £150. The £50 consultation fee is redeemable against treatment.
Why do I need a consultation and skin test?
Dissolving filler involves a prescription treatment, which requires a face-to-face assessment. The skin test checks you don’t react before the main area is treated.
How quickly does it work?
Many people see a difference within 24 to 48 hours, with the full effect over about two weeks. Sometimes a second session is needed.
When can I have new filler?
Usually after a few weeks, once the area has settled. Kelsie will advise on timing.
Is there an age limit?
We only treat adults aged 18 and over.
