Dissolving Restylane and Perlane is easy... but that may not solve your problem
| Michael Sinclair, MD |
Any filler that is made out of Hyaluronic Acid (Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, Hyalgan, etc) can be dissolved with an injection of Hyaluronidsase (off-label use of Hyaluronidase). Although this use is off-label (not FDA approved) it is well documented and widely used when needed.
However, I am not sure why having one of the above mentioned fillers injected would cause you to have a burning sensation in your face. I would suggest you go back to your doctor and make sure there is no other reason for you to have burning in your face. There may be other treatments for you that do not require you to have the filler dissolved.

Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, and others are composed of a compound called hyaluronic acid. Fortunately, there is an enzyme called hyaluronidase which can be injected to dissolve the hyaluronic acid. It may take 2 or 3 injections but generally the Restylane and Perlane can be completely dissolved without any long term problems.

Wydase to dissolve Restylane
| Richard P. Rand, MD |
Perlane, Restylane and Juvederm are all made of a naturally-occurring substance called "hyaluronic acid" (HA). An enzyme called hylaruronidase can dissolve HA. It is available as an injectable called "Wydase" and can be used to dissolve HA when needed.
