Dr. Jennifer Salsberg Featured in FASHION Magazine on the Future of Skin Rejuvenation

I was pleased to contribute to a recent FASHION magazine feature, “Skin, Boosted,” exploring the growing interest in regenerative aesthetic treatments and the shift towards improving skin quality rather than simply adding volume.

The article looks at several approaches to skin rejuvenation, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP), exosomes, hyaluronic acid skin boosters and collagen-stimulating injectables.

I was invited to share my perspective on biostimulators such as Sculptra, which work by encouraging the body to produce its own collagen and elastin over time.

Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, which primarily restore volume, biostimulators support gradual improvements in the skin's underlying structure. As I explained in the article, Sculptra's poly-L-lactic acid particles help create a scaffold that encourages the activity of fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen production.

What I find particularly interesting about these treatments is how they can complement other approaches to skin rejuvenation. For example, collagen-stimulating treatments and hyaluronic acid skin boosters address different aspects of skin quality, from structural support to hydration and radiance. They can also be paired with muscle relaxing injections, and laser based treatments as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to target the different pillars of facial aging.

At AvenueMD, we believe that achieving natural-looking results requires understanding the skin and aging process at multiple levels. Rather than relying on any single treatment, we take a personalized, long-term approach that considers each patient's skin, goals and stage of their aesthetic journey.

Thank you to FASHION magazine and Julia McEwen for including me in this thoughtful discussion about the evolving field of aesthetic dermatology.

The full feature, “Skin, Boosted,” appears in the September 2026 issue of FASHION magazine.
