TREATMENT BENEFITS

NATURAL COLLAGEN STIMULATION

PLLA works by stimulating your body's natural collagen production. This fundamental rejuvenation process rebuilds the skin's internal structure from within, leading to authentic and long-lasting improvements in skin quality and volume.

GRADUAL VOLUME RESTORATION

Instead of immediate filling, PLLA subtly restores lost facial volume over several months. This ensures a remarkably natural transformation that evolves gracefully, avoiding any abrupt changes and providing results that look authentic.

IMPROVED SKIN FIRMNESS & ELASTICITY

By actively promoting new collagen and elastin synthesis, PLLA significantly enhances skin firmness and elasticity. This helps to lift and tighten areas of laxity, restoring a more toned and youthful facial contour.

LONG-LASTING REJUVENATION

The collagen stimulated by PLLA is your body's own, leading to incredibly durable results. The effects can last for up to 2 years or even longer, offering a sustained improvement in your skin's vitality and appearance.

    The PLLA solution is precisely injected into the deep dermis or subcutaneous layer of the targeted areas using fine needles. Immediately after injection, the area is meticulously massaged. This crucial step ensures even distribution of the product, preventing lump formation and facilitating optimal collagen stimulation. Our expertise prioritises your comfort and safety.

WHAT IS PLLA?

PLLA, or Poly-L-Lactic Acid, is an advanced injectable aesthetic treatment classified as a bio-stimulator. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide immediate volume, PLLA works by stimulating your body's natural collagen production over time, leading to gradual and long-lasting restoration of volume, firmness, and improved skin quality.
HOW DOES PLLA WORK?

When injected into the deep dermis, PLLA microparticles create a scaffolding. As the PLLA gradually breaks down, it triggers a natural inflammatory response that stimulates your body to produce new collagen. This new collagen then subtly replaces the lost volume and improves the skin's underlying structure, leading to a natural-looking rejuvenation.
HOW IS PLLA DIFFERENT FROM DERMAL FILLERS?

The key difference lies in their mechanism and timing of results. Dermal fillers provide immediate volume and are made of hyaluronic acid. PLLA does not provide immediate volume; instead, it stimulates your own collagen production, with results appearing gradually over several months and lasting much longer (up to 2 years or more). PLLA addresses the root cause of volume loss.
HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE RECOMMENDED FOR PLLA?

A typical initial course of PLLA treatment usually involves 2 to 4 sessions, spaced approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart. The exact number of sessions depends on the degree of volume loss, skin laxity, and your desired outcome. Your aesthetic nurse will determine the optimal course during your consultation.
HOW LONG DO PLLA RESULTS LAST, AND WHEN WILL I SEE THEM?

Results from PLLA treatments are not immediate. You will begin to see subtle improvements in volume and skin quality over several weeks to months as your body produces new collagen. Optimal results typically appear around 6 months after your final session and can last for up to 2 years or even longer.
