If you’ve been noticing hollows in your cheeks, softening jawlines, or fine lines that make you look more tired than you feel, it might be time to consider a treatment that works differently than your typical filler. At Liquid Luxury Aesthetics in Smithtown, NY, we’re proud to offer Sculptra®: a unique collagen-stimulating injectable that helps restore structure, fullness and youthful contour over time.
What Is Sculptra®?
Sculptra® is an FDA-approved injectable made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance historically used in dissolvable stitches. Kansas Health System+3image Dermatology ® P.C.+3Sculptra USA+3
Unlike typical hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers that simply “fill in” wrinkles or add volume, Sculptra works by stimulating your body’s own collagen production. Golden State Dermatology+1 The result is not an instant plump, but a gradual restoration of your underlying volume and skin quality, giving you a refreshed look that remains naturally you.
Why Choose Sculptra® in Smithtown
Here in Smithtown, NY, patients often seek treatments that are effective but subtle — they want to look like a better version of themselves, not like they’ve “had work done.” Sculptra fits perfectly with that aesthetic because:
It delivers long‐lasting results — clinical data show improvements lasting up to two years or more. Sculptra USA+1
The look and feel are natural, with gradual changes over time rather than dramatic overnight transformation. drodaniel.com
Because it stimulates collagen rather than just adding filler substance, it improves skin quality (texture, tone and structure) as well as volume. UPMC | Life Changing Medicine
At our Smithtown office, we customise every Sculptra treatment plan to your face, goals and lifestyle, because no two aging journeys are the same.
How Does Sculptra® Work?
Here’s a simplified breakdown of how the process works:
Consultation – We assess your facial structure, volume loss, skin quality, and talk through your goals.
Injection – Sculptra is injected into the deeper dermal layers or the sub‐dermal space. The PLLA particles begin stimulating your fibroblasts, your body’s cells that produce collagen. Cleveland Clinic
Gradual Results – Over the ensuing weeks and months, new collagen forms, building up structure and filling hollows more naturally. You may begin to see improvement in 4-6 weeks, with full results developing over 2-4 months (or longer) depending on your treatment plan. drodaniel.com+1
Maintenance – Many patients achieve ideal results after a series of 2-3 treatments, and then maintain their look with periodic touch-ups. Cleveland Clinic
What Areas Can Sculptra® Treat?
While every face is unique, some of the common areas we treat at Liquid Luxury Aesthetics in Smithtown include:
Hollows in the temples and cheeks (where volume loss often occurs)
Marionette lines and nasolabial folds (the lines from the nose or mouth corners)
Jawline contour and jowls (softening definition as volume decreases)
Chin and lower face areas that show aging-related volume loss
In some cases, other areas of the body (though this is more specialized and requires a thorough consultation)

What to Expect: Before, During, and After
Before Treatment: You’ll come in for a consultation where we’ll review your goals, assess your anatomy, and plan injection sites. We’ll also review any health considerations (for example if you have bleeding disorders, certain medications, or skin conditions). Cleveland Clinic
During Treatment: The procedure is relatively quick — often 20-30 minutes depending on the number of vials and areas treated. Local numbing or topical anesthesia can be used for comfort. You’ll receive injections in targeted zones. Palmetto Facial Plastics
After Treatment: Some typical post-treatment observations:
Mild swelling, redness or bruising at injection sites (usually resolves within days) UPMC | Life Changing Medicine
Because results take time, you won’t see the full effect immediately; you might start noticing changes within 4-6 weeks, with full results coming in 2-4 months.
We’ll ask you to avoid strenuous exercise or extreme heat/cold in the first 24-48 hours, and to gently massage the treated area as recommended (massage helps even distribution and smooth results). Palmetto Facial Plastics
Maintenance: Many of our Smithtown patients choose an initial series of sessions spaced several weeks apart, followed by maintenance visits every 12-24 months to keep their structure and glow.
