PLLA Face
PLLA is not considered as a temporary filler, also not a permanent implant, but it may be described as a volumetric preparation, because it smooths out deep wrinkles and reconstructs face volume, resulting from the aging process.
This is a unique substance that works by stimulating facial tissues to produce its own collagen, which complements the deficiencies in the skin. It firms the cheeks, raises drooping corners of the mouth, smooths lines and wrinkles, restores the lost volume of the skin, providing filled contours and the rejuvenation effect.
SKIN REBUILDING TREATMENT
Treatment using Rich PL the formulation involves injecting it deep into the skin or intradermally, depending on the effect patient wishes to achieve. Rich PL is a safe product, because it is entirely biocompatible with the human body – in injection we are using suspension of L-polylactic’s acid micro particles in sterile water. A blend stimulates the skin to self-regeneration in a subtly but effective way. Typical injections placement are: wrinkles around the corners of the mouth, forehead, cheeks, zygomatic arches, around the jaw and the valley of tears. Thanks to the suspension in many places during one visit you gain a complex rejuvenation effect.
Treatment Summary
Price: Determined upon consultation
Duration of Treatment:
The appointment typically lasts 30-45 minutes, depending on your treatment plan.
Recovery: No down time
Treatment Interval: 2-3 weeks, number of treatments depends on desired outcome
Pre-Treatment Advice: Do not use self tanning products or sunbathe for up to 2 weeks before treatment.
Post-Treatment Advice: You will be advised on aftercare and suitable products to use on your skin post treatment at your consultation, SPF50 applied should be applied to all areas treated for 2 weeks if exposed to sunlight and you will be advised to drink plenty of water.
When To Use PLLA
deep folds between the nose and lips (nasolabial wrinkles),
furrows in the corners of the mouth (marionette lines),
sunken cheeks,
wrinkles on cheeks and chin,
around the cheekbones.
PLLA treatment is recommended particularly for those with thin skin and a slim face – those patients notice a gradual loss of collagen faster and it is usually more visible. The treatment is a popular choice for men who want to rejuvenate their skin in an effective but discreet way.
PLLA Treatment Effects
Treatment with polylactic acid not only stimulates the production of new collagen but also leads to a natural lifting of the skin. As a result, the skin becomes firmer and more elastic. Thanks to the rebuilding of collagen structures, the treatment improves the appearance of the face and reduces wrinkles. The procedure restores a youthful facial contour, smooths grooves and wrinkles, fills nasolabial folds, firms the cheeks, lifts drooping corners of the mouth, and when applied to the so-called jowls and a sagging chin, it fills lax areas and tightens the skin.
This is a subtle method that provides a natural look. The product’s action takes time, which means the change in the skin’s appearance occurs gradually, restoring lost volume over the long term. The first effects of the treatment are noticeable after just a few weeks, but the best results are seen after 3-6 months, when the skin has fully regenerated thanks to newly produced collagen. Full correction usually requires 2 or 3 treatments. The improvement in appearance is long-lasting and can persist for up to 3-4 years, which makes polylactic acid PDLLA one of the most durable skin-rejuvenation methods.
How Does PLLA Treatment Looks Like
The procedure is minimally invasive and usually does not require a long recovery period. Local anesthesia is applied before the procedure, making the patient feel minimal discomfort. The process itself takes between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. After the injection of the substance, mild redness and swelling may occur for a few days, but these symptoms subside on their own.
What To Choose- PLLA or PLLA + HA Combination
The choice of the appropriate therapy should be based on the real needs of the skin, not on the popularity of a product. Both poly-L-lactic acid and its combination with hyaluronic acid have biostimulatory effects and influence volume – however, they differ in strength of action, the nature of the effect, and clinical indications.
Below we present clear criteria that help make the right decision.
WHEN TO CHOOSE PURE POLY-L-LACTIC ACID (SCULPTRA)?
This is an advanced tool for biostimulation and volume restoration through collagen production, rather than for rapid filling. It works at a structural level – rebuilding the skin’s “scaffold” and restoring its volume in a biological way.
We recommend this therapy when the goal is deep tissue remodeling:
loss of facial volume (cheeks, temples, jawline) – typical volumetric aging
skin laxity due to collagen loss, not just dehydration
the face appears “hallowed,” tired, lacking supportive structure
the skin’s biological age indicates advanced aging processes (typically 40+)
need for a global improvement in skin quality rather than a localized effect
acceptance of gradual effect onset (2-4 months)
expectation of long-lasting remodeling and stimulation (up to 24 months)
We do not recommend this therapy when:
an immediate “here-and-now” effect is expected
the issue is mainly thin, dehydrated skin without significant volume loss
the procedure involves very delicate areas (e.g., the eye area), where hybrid products are better suited
In summary, poly-L-lactic acid acts like an “architect” – rebuilding the facial structure through intensive neocollagenesis. The effect appears gradually but is very natural and long-lasting.
WHEN TO CHOOSE THE COMBINATION OF POLY-L-LACTIC ACID WITH HYALURONIC ACID?
This is a modern hybrid solution that works on two fronts – immediately (hyaluronic acid) and long-term (poly-L-lactic acid). These preparations not only improve skin quality but also subtly restore volume in a more dispersed and natural way.
We recommend this therapy when you want a “2-in-1” effect:
the skin is thin, lax, dehydrated (especially the eye area, neck, décolletage)
fine wrinkles are visible and the skin has a characteristic “paper-thin” texture
the patient is younger (25–40), seeking prevention and does not require significant volumizing
early signs of aging appear – prevention rather than reconstruction
need for a subtle, very natural effect without altering facial features
an immediate improvement in skin appearance is expected (the so-called “glow” effect)
the procedure concerns difficult and delicate areas (tear trough, eye area, cheeks in thin individuals, neck, décolletage)
Additional differentiation of the products:
Juvelook – mainly dedicated to thin skin and delicate areas (particularly the eye area)
Lenisna – more universal, with a subtle volumizing effect
We do not recommend this therapy when:
there is a large volume deficit (the effect may be too subtle)
the goal is a pronounced contour reconstruction and structural lifting
In summary, hybrid preparations act like combination therapy – providing a quick refresh of skin appearance while initiating collagen rebuilding processes. The effect is softer, more natural, and more dispersed.
