How long will it realistically take for biofilm infection from dermal filler to completely resolve? Will it completely resolve?

Diagnosed with a biofilm infection post 1cc Voluma to cheeks.Filler received 6 months ago and I've been treating the infection for the past 5.5 months. Been to doctor 1-3 times/wk for 6 mths, totaling 40+ visits. Each visit, we administer Hylenex. I stopped counting how much I've received (ranges from 20units to 75units each cheek each visit), over 1300 units to date. On Minocycline 100mg twice daily. How long will this infection take to clear? Will it for sure fully resolve eventually?
