POLYLACTIC ACID (PLA) IN THE FACIAL: AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION FOR VOLUME BUILDING AND SKIN REJUVENATION
WHAT IS POLYLACTIC ACID (PLA)?
Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biocompatible and biodegradable active ingredient used in aesthetic medicine to stimulate collagen production. PLA is injected into the subcutaneous tissue and stimulates the body’s own collagen production, leading to natural skin tightening and volume building. This treatment method is particularly popular for correcting volume loss in the face and for general skin rejuvenation.
HOW DOES POLYLACTIC ACID TREATMENT WORK?
PLA is injected into the skin to plump up sagging areas and smooth wrinkles. Unlike conventional fillers, PLA does not work immediately, but develops its effects gradually over several weeks. This occurs by stimulating collagen production, which leads to a gradual tightening and densification of the skin. The results typically last up to two years, as the skin is permanently strengthened by the newly formed collagen.
BENEFITS OF PLA TREATMENT:
Natural results: The slow and gradual effect ensures a natural appearance without any abrupt changes.
Long-lasting effects: By stimulating collagen production, the results can last up to two years.
Wide range of applications: Suitable for volume augmentation in cheeks, temples, chin, and other areas affected by volume loss.
Safe and biocompatible: Since PLA is broken down by the body, there is no risk of permanent foreign body reactions.
RISKS AND SIDE EFFECTS:
As with any injectable treatment, side effects may occur with the use of polylactic acid. These include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. In rare cases, small nodules may form under the skin, but these are usually harmless and resolve on their own over time.
WHO IS PLA TREATMENT SUITABLE FOR?
This treatment is ideal for patients seeking a gentle yet effective improvement in their skin texture and structure. It is particularly suitable for people suffering from facial volume loss, whether due to the natural aging process or after weight loss.
