Clear and Brilliant dissolved my Sculptra! Why?! 2 weeks p.o. 3rd treatment

Question

I'm so sad! I've been working for 8 months to restore my jaw line with sculptra! I lost so much volume along my jaw that my neck started to sag and i didn't have a jaw line. I had my 3rd treatment 2 weeks ago and was so happy, it was perfect. I got Clear and Brilliant done almost 2 weeks after my 3rd Sculptra treatment and that night I felt like my jaw felt different, like the volume went down by half. My neck felt and looked saggier. Thought it was in my head, but it's not... it 100% went down. Why?!

We often combine fillers and lasers on the same day. I recommend following up with your injector. Keep in mind, it takes several weeks for results with Sculptra. Sculptra is a great product for improving facial volume and collagen building, but for best results, I recommend using it in a combination depending on desired results. I combine Sculptra with other fillers, lasers, toxins and skin care to give immediate results. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

We have stopped performing Clear + Brilliant and fillers on the same day for  just this reason.  We had the same  problem with Juvederm dissolving from  same day Clear + Brilliant.We generally space the 2 procedure by 4 weeks.  Not convenient- but safer.
