Polylactic acid

Here are some key benefits of PLLA:

• Collagen Stimulation:
PLA stimulates the natural production of collagen in the skin. Collagen is a vital protein that provides structural support, elasticity, and firmness. By encouraging collagen synthesis, Polylactic acid helps restore volume and improve skin texture over time.

• Gradual and Natural-Looking Results:
The effects of PLLA are gradual, allowing for natural-looking results. Instead of providing an immediate volume boost, polylactic acid works progressively, producing subtle and sustained improvements in facial contours.

• Long-Lasting Effects:
PLLA’s benefits are known for their longevity. Results last up to two years or more, making it a durable option for individuals seeking a sustained improvement in facial volume and appearance.

• Facial Contouring and Lift:
Polylactic Acid (also known as “Liquid Threads”) is often used for facial contouring, helping restore lost volume in areas like the cheeks and temples. The filler's ability to lift and reshape facial features contributes to a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

• Non-Surgical and Minimally Invasive:
PLLA is a non-surgical treatment, administered through a canula. This minimally invasive approach reduces downtime compared to surgical procedures, allowing individuals to resume their normal activities right away.

• Versatility in Treatment Areas:
Polylactic acid is versatile and can be used in various facial areas, including the cheeks, temples, jawline, and nasolabial folds. This flexibility enables a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation and volume restoration.

• Improvement of Skin Quality:
Beyond volumizing effects, PLLA improves skin quality. Enhanced collagen production contributes to smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin, providing an overall rejuvenated appearance.

• Biocompatible and Biodegradable:
Polylactic Acid is biocompatible, meaning it is well-tolerated by the body. It is also biodegradable, gradually breaking down over time. These characteristics contribute to its safety profile.

It's essential to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine if PLLA is suitable for individual needs (not everyone is a candidate) and to ensure proper administration.
