I got sculptra in October and then I lost five pounds over the next month, I then returned for my second session of sculptra and have lost maybe 2 pounds since. Does the weight loss cause the collagen building effect of sculptra to stop or can it still continue to work? I didn’t crash diet but just ate healthier and stabilized my blood sugar. Would you recommend I do a third session?

It is hard to say without seeing you in person and feeling the area. It is most likely a vein. Sometimes veins become more prominent after injection but they almost always get better. If this persists, a laser can take care of the vein - a 1064 laser.
Injectables places on the cheekbone to the hairline make sense if you’re trying to achieve a nonsurgical facelift. Speak with an expert. Good luck. Dr. Aldo
SculpSure is a non invasive laser treatment that treats up to 25% of fat in the targeted area, it does not reduce redundant skin. It is difficult to assess without a consultation if what you are concerned about is excess skin or fat.
