Stimulate collagen — restore your natural volume and glow.
At Two Chicks Aesthetics in Port Jefferson, NY, we offer Sculptra, a collagen-stimulating injectable that gradually restores volume, firmness, and youthful contours — for results that look natural and last for years.
What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra® is an injectable biostimulator made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a safe, FDA-approved compound that stimulates your body’s own collagen production.
Unlike dermal fillers that add instant volume, Sculptra works gradually, rebuilding the skin’s foundation from within for smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Sculptra can be used in the:
- Cheeks and temples
- Jawline and chin
- Smile lines (nasolabial folds)
- Marionette lines
- Décolletage and body (off-label for skin tightening)
How Sculptra Works
Consultation & Planning – We assess your facial structure, skin quality, and volume loss.
Injection Process – Sculptra is injected into targeted areas using a fine needle or cannula.
Collagen Activation – The PLLA microparticles stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen.
Gradual Transformation – Over several weeks, your skin becomes firmer, thicker, and more lifted.
Most patients receive a series of 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with results that continue improving for months after treatment.
