Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is a biodegradable, synthetic polymer used in aesthetic and medical applications. It is primarily known for its role as a biostimulatory dermal filler. PLLA works by stimulating the body's natural collagen production to restore volume and improve skin texture over time.
What Is Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA)?
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is a bio-stimulator that has become a game changer in the aesthetic world for its ability to restore lost volume and improve skin quality. By stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, PLLA helps to rebuild facial and body structure that diminishes with age.
How Do PLLA Collagen Stimulators Work?
As we age, collagen and elastin production slows, leading to sagging, wrinkles, and a loss of facial volume. By the age of 30, collagen levels begin to decline at a rate of approximately 1% per year. PLLA collagen stimulators work by:
- Targeting Dermal Fibroblasts: PLLA particles stimulate fibroblast cells, which are responsible for collagen production.
- Gradual Collagen Restoration: Once injected, PLLA particles encourage collagen synthesis in the treated areas. Results typically develop over several months.
- Natural-Looking Results: New collagen adds subtle volume, smooths fine lines and wrinkles, and restores a more youthful appearance.
Key Benefits of PLLA Injectables
- Natural Volume Restoration: Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, PLLA works with the body’s natural processes, producing gradual and authentic results.
- Longevity: Results can last up to two to three years, depending on the product and patient.
- Improved Skin Quality: In addition to volume, PLLA enhances skin texture, firmness, and elasticity.
