What is Poly-L-lactic Acid injectable?
Long-lasting results (up to 2 years effects)
Natural collagen production
Restore inner skin structure
The gradual nature of collagen stimulation also means that the results develop naturally, avoiding the abrupt changes often associated with more immediate fillers.
Address volume loss for facial aging
How does Poly-L-lactic Acid injectable work?
Poly-L-lactic acid works by leveraging the body’s natural collagen production process to gradually restore facial volume and improve skin texture.
It is a synthetic material made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which is biocompatible and biodegradable. It is injected into the deep dermis, or subcutaneous layer, of the skin.
Once injected, PLLA microparticles act as a scaffold, stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen over several weeks to months.
This collagen production helps to thicken and strengthen the skin, filling in wrinkles and restoring volume naturally.
Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate but temporary results, its effects develop gradually and can last up to two years or more.
This makes it a cost-effective option for long-term facial rejuvenation, with minimal downtime and natural-looking results that improve progressively

Poly-L-lactic Acid Side Effects
Poly-L-lactic Acid Injection is generally well-tolerated, but it can have side effects, including temporary swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection sites, which usually resolve within a few days.
Some patients may experience mild pain and itching after treatment. Small lumps or nodules under the skin can occur if the product is not evenly distributed, which is why post-treatment massages are recommended to ensure even distribution and minimise this risk.
In rare cases, allergic reactions and granulomas (small areas of inflammation) can develop, and there is always a minor risk of infection, as with any injection.
How many sessions of Poly-L-lactic Acid are required?
Generally, the initial treatment plan consists of 3 sessions spaced about 4-6 weeks apart.
After completing the initial series, maintenance treatments are usually needed every year, depending on individual factors such as the patient’s skin condition, the area treated, and the desired results.
This regimen helps to ensure the collagen stimulation continues, maintaining the improved skin texture and volume over time.
