Sculptra® Treatments in New York City
Sculptra®, also known as poly-L-lactic acid, is a biostimulatory injectable treatment that addresses facial volume loss and helps stimulate collagen production. As we age, our skin gradually loses collagen, resulting in a loss of volume, sagging, and the appearance of wrinkles. Sculptra® works by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production, gradually restoring volume and creating a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Key Benefits of Sculptra® in NYC
- Natural-looking results: Sculptra® provides subtle and natural-looking results that develop gradually over time, allowing for a subtle transformation without the appearance of an obvious treatment.
- Long-lasting: Sculptra’s® effects can last up to two years, making it an excellent option for those seeking long-term facial volume and skin quality improvement.
- Collagen stimulation: By stimulating collagen production, Sculptra® helps improve skin quality, elasticity, and overall texture, resulting in a more youthful and radiant complexion.
- Versatile treatment: Sculptra® can be used to address various concerns, including facial wrinkles, folds, and hollow areas, such as sunken cheeks or temples.
During your consultation at Park Avenue Dermatology, Dr. Bradley Glodny will assess your specific needs and develop a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your desired results with Sculptra®.
Radiesse® Treatments At Park Avenue Dermatology
Radiesse® is another biostimulatory dermal filler that offers remarkable anti-aging benefits. It consists of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. When injected, Radiesse® provides immediate volume and lift while stimulating the production of collagen, resulting in long-lasting rejuvenation. When Radiesse® is hyperdiluted it can be injected ANYWHERE on the body to help tighten the skin and create a more youthful appearance.

Biostimulatory Molecules FAQs
Sculptra® and Radiesse® are injectables that stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume by placing a substance under the skin, these molecules gradually enhance skin texture, elasticity, and firmness, resulting in natural-looking, long-lasting rejuvenation.
Sculptra® leads to subtle, natural-looking improvements in facial volume and skin texture that develop over several months and can last for up to two years. This product is particularly effective for those seeking a measured, long-lasting enhancement rather than an instant fix.
Sculptra® is highly versatile. While many people choose to address facial aging concerns such as smile lines, marionette lines, and pre-jowl folds, it can also produce excellent results on your neck, décolletage, hands, knees, and abdomen.
The results of Sculptra® can last for up to 2.5 years, depending on your skin condition and targeted area. While you’ll notice immediate improvements in volume and skin texture, the full benefits will continue emerging over several months as this treatment continues stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. Generally Sculptra is injected at monthly intervals for 3 months (may vary from patient to patient) in order to provide the longest lasting results.
Sculptra® treatments are minimally invasive and involve mild discomfort. You can request a local anesthetic to numb the area before injections and ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible. Most patients report only minor discomfort during the treatment, such as a slight pinch or pressure at the injection site.

Small lumps or nodules can develop under the skin in rare cases, but these are generally treatable by following the post-treatment care instructions provided by your dermatologist.
One of the advantages of Sculptra® treatments is that they require minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, you should avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and extreme temperatures for a few days following the treatment to ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of complications.
