Anyone who wants firm, smooth, and youthful-looking skin should be thinking about collagen! Having plenty of this protein often means enjoying pleasantly full contours—and having the confidence to match—which is why VITRA Aesthetics Clinic offers the advanced Sculptra® for Long Island-area women and men.
There are many injectable fillers that use a hyaluronic acid-based gel to provide the facial volume vital for a youthful look, but Sculptra® goes a step further by stimulating natural collagen production. In East Islip, Huntington, Southampton, and Smithtown, VITRA’s experienced injectors share in detail how Sculptra works so you can understand what happens during and after your treatment session. Maximum patient comfort is important every step of the way—from deciding on a treatment area to maintaining your results—so the team is prepared to guide you toward the solution that’s right for you.

More than just a typical dermal filler or aesthetic treatment, the innovative Sculptra® is made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) microparticles, which prompt specialized cells in the dermis to begin making healthy collagen. This is important for those with older skin, since natural collagen production decreases over time. Eventually, the body loses collagen faster than it can replace it! This leads to volume loss of facial fat and other areas of the body, which causes facial wrinkles, creeses, and flatter contours.
Sculptra® injections cause a reaction that provides naturally beautiful results by generating collagen structures that outlast the filler itself. A series of treatments is ideal for long-lasting results, facial rejuvenation, and a long-term boost in confidence.
Sculptra® is commonly used to reduce the severity of sunken cheeks and signs of facial aging, such as nasolabial folds (also known as smile lines or parentheses), marionette lines and chin wrinkles.
Did you know that there is also now significant demand for using Sculptra® as a nonsurgical butt lift? It can be used for either cosmetic enhancement or to correct post-surgical irregularities! The results are more subtle than the obvious augmentation possible with surgical implants, which many of our patients consider a plus. Get the naturally beautiful results you want.
Adults seeking a more youthful face or a curvier backside may be good candidates for this injectable treatment—especially if they want enhanced contours but are reluctant to consider plastic surgery for fat loss. No matter your reason for considering Sculptra®, we will discuss the effects of Sculptra with you during a consultation, as well as perform an examination to discover if it is the best technique for delivering the results you are seeking.
Comfort and safety are important parts of every treatment at VITRA Aesthetic Clinic, which is why we work with each patient individually to tailor the Sculptra injection process to their needs and wants. We offer topical anesthetics for patients who want a comfortable experience.
The Sculptra treatment does not take long to administer—about the length of an average lunch break—so you do not have to carve much time out of your regular daily schedule.

The treated area will not look much different at first after Sculptra® injections, but have no fear: The collagen-stimulating microparticles will quickly get to work. Common side effects at the injection site may include mild swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness, which typically resolve within a few days. Downtime is minimal, so patients can usually return to their daily activities right after the procedure. Collagen production will continue for months until the protein’s levels reach the point where they make a visible difference. Patients often find that multiple vials of injections over a series of treatments yield their ideal results because collagen accumulates to create smoother skin and rounder contours.
Patients who want immediate results may consider Restylane® or Juvéderm®, which are hyaluronic acid-based injectables that reduce fine lines, enhance the lips, and create fuller cheek contours.
To treat “dynamic wrinkles,” which form as muscles repeatedly pull the skin into furrows over decades, we offer contraction-preventing BOTOX®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®. Talk with us to determine which FDA-approved treatment or combination of injectable fillers and other options would be ideal for you!
