POLY-L-LACTIC ACID

Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) is an advanced injectable treatment designed to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production for gradual, long-lasting rejuvenation.


Unlike traditional fillers that add immediate volume, PLLA works beneath the surface to restore structure and firmness from within — giving you smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin over time.


This biostimulator treatment helps your skin rebuild its own collagen matrix, resulting in natural, progressive improvement that can last up to two years.

  • Encourages your body to produce new collagen, improving skin elasticity and density for results that strengthen over time.

  • Restores youthful volume and smoothness subtly and progressively — avoiding the overfilled or artificial appearance sometimes associated with traditional fillers.

  • Results can last up to two years as the newly generated collagen continues to support and revitalise the skin’s structure.

  • Smooths fine lines, improves tone, and enhances skin resilience by addressing the root cause of aging — collagen loss.

  • Ideal for facial rejuvenation, including cheeks, temples, jawline, and lower face. It can also improve skin quality in areas such as the neck and décolletage.

  • A non-invasive treatment that allows you to resume daily activities with little to no downtime — perfect for those seeking subtle rejuvenation without recovery time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • PLLA results can last up to 2 years or more once a full course is completed, making it one of the longest-lasting injectable treatments available.

  • Typically, 2–3 sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart are recommended. The exact number depends on your starting point and desired outcome.

  • The procedure is well tolerated. PLLA is injected into the skin with a fine needle or cannula, and local anaesthetic can be used to minimise discomfort.

  • Downtime is minimal. You may notice swelling, redness, or small lumps at the injection sites for a few days. Massaging the treated area (as advised by your practitioner) is important for best results.
