Injectable Treatment for Collagen Stimulation
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is an injectable collagen biostimulator.
Rather than providing immediate volume in the same way as a traditional dermal filler, PLLA works by stimulating collagen production within the treated tissue.
The changes develop gradually as collagen remodelling takes place over time.

WHAT IS PLLA?
POLY-L-LACTIC ACID
PLLA is a biocompatible and biodegradable material used as a collagen biostimulator.
When introduced into selected areas beneath the skin, PLLA particles interact with the surrounding tissue and stimulate fibroblast activity.
Fibroblasts are cells involved in the production of collagen.
As this process takes place gradually, PLLA may be considered for concerns associated with collagen loss, facial volume changes and skin laxity.

CHANGES IN COLLAGEN OVER TIME
Collagen is one of the structural proteins that provides support to the skin.
With ageing, changes in collagen levels, fat distribution, bone structure and skin elasticity can contribute to:
Temple Hollowing
Cheek Volume Loss
Nasolabial Folds
Skin Laxity
Changes in Facial Contour
PLLA treatment focuses on collagen stimulation rather than immediate filling.
