Thread hitting a nerve, can it be dissolved?

Question

I had silhouette threads inserted two weeks ago and suffered an infection which has been treated with antibiotics. I now have a thread near the corner of my mouth resting on a nerve which is causing constant pain when eating, talking or even just smiling. Is there anyway at all that they can be dissolved quicker as the pain is awful

Threads cannot be dissolved, but if they are absorbable threads they will be absorbed and disappear. It's not the thread that hits the nerve, it's the needle that advances the thread into the tissue.

Hi, there, 
Once the threads in, can not really removed without leaving any scar. But the good news, you can go back to your doctor and ask what kind of machine that can help. Since Silhouette Soft materiil can be broken with heat, so any machines such as HIFU, radiofrequency, will help to dissolve the thread, and hopefully, reverse the nerve problem sooner.
