Collagen keeps youthful faces looking delightfully smooth and pleasantly full—and now there is a way to regain and maintain that valuable volume for years, along with the confidence that comes with it! With dermal fillers like Restylane® at Long Island’s VITRA Aesthetics Clinic, experienced injectors can restore naturally youthful contours with a simple treatment.
Our Islip, Huntington, Massapequa, and Smithtown offices offer several formulations in the Restylane® family, each one ideally suited to address specific cosmetic concerns. Before any injections are made, we customize a care plan specifically to meet your unique needs.

Hyaluronic acid is an important part of healthy skin: The water-loving sugar molecule helps to maintain hydration, elasticity, and a smooth surface. Restylane® fillers are made with hyaluronic acid molecules, which are cross-linked to create a smooth gel that provides noticeable volume where injected. This is especially important in areas that have lost collagen and have become creased or hollow as a result.
Since both collagen and hyaluronic acid levels go down in the skin over time, advanced fillers can serve as a replacement, providing results that can last from months to years. New injections can be made to preserve your desired contours over time.
The Restylane® family is made up of several different fillers, each of which can be used to target specific signs of aging: Restylane® Refyne™, Defyne™, Lyft™, Contour, and Silk. Our experienced injectors use these to improve the appearance of parentheses and marionette lines, tear troughs, and the nose, as well as to augment the cheeks, chin, and hands to give them a more youthful appearance.
Any adult who wants to restore lost volume in the face or hands may be a good candidate for Restylane® injections! To determine whether the treatment is truly ideal for you, we will conduct a thorough consultation that reviews your medical history, your cosmetic goals, and more. We will explain the treatments options for addressing your specific concerns and make sure you are not just comfortable, but are confident with your choice!
The bulk of our patients handle the injection process just fine with nothing more than ice used to reduce sensation in the skin, but we do offer topical anesthetics to numb the area for people who want something more.
Expect the session to last about the same amount of time as a lunch break, which is hardly any time at all! Specifics will depend on what and how many areas are being treated.
Ready for a confidence-boosting aesthetic change? The first step is sharing your personal cosmetic goals with a member of the VITRA Aesthetics team in Long Island, NY, led by accomplished Physician Assistant Joanne Vitale. Our medical professionals are all licensed, and each has a history of specialized training, high-quality results, an eye for exquisite detail, and the warmth of the human touch.
Our patients will notice a visible change as soon as the Restylane® is injected. We recommend not touching or putting any pressure on the injected areas for a couple of days after your visit—but you don’t have to remember that right now! We will go over everything you need to know and what to expect in the days after your treatment at your initial consultation.
Like Restylane®, Juvéderm® is also a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler that fills hollows and reduces the severity of certain facial lines. Our team will work with you to help you decide which option would work best. Another available filler is Sculptra®, which not only provides replenishing volume, but also encourages collagen production in the skin—making it ideal for a non-surgical butt lift.
Neuromodulators are injections, but unlike dermal fillers, they smooth out “dynamic wrinkles” that result from constant muscle activity on the face. BOTOX®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® all work the same way: preventing lines from appearing when specific expressions are made.
