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.
