How to Get Rid of a Dermal Filler

Dermal fillers replace lost elasticity in the skin.

Dermal fillers are skin-care products that camouflage wrinkles and puckers. There are two types of dermal fillers you can use, topical and injected fillers. Injected fillers are used by professionals, such as cosmetic surgeons or dermatologists. Topical dermal fillers are easy to find at beauty supply stores and may be used by anyone with a little practice. People squirt the product into the lines they wish hide using a pen-type applicator. After the dermal filler dries, makeup is applied to make the skin appear natural. If you've tried a wrinkle filler and don't like the results, you can remove it easily in just a few minutes.

Things You'll Need

• Cloth
• Gentle cleanser
• Towel

Instructions

1. Wet a soft wash cloth under warm, running water. Wring out the excess water.

2. Fold the cloth and place it on the dermal filler for 30 to 60 seconds, long enough for the filler to soften.

3. Tap at the filler with the cloth, wiping away the product. Do this for all the areas on your face that have dermal products applied to them.

4. Rinse the cloth under the warm water. Give the cloth a squeeze. Dab a dime-sized amount of facial cleansing product to the cloth. Scrub your face with the cloth.

5. Rinse the cleanser away by scooping up fresh water in your hands and splashing your face. Dry your face with a towel.

Tips & Warnings

• Dermal fillers that have been injected under the skin will fade slowly over time.
