Polylactic acid

Polylactic acid

Polylactic Acid is an injectable cosmetic treatment intended for patients who want to restore the contours of their face or compensate for signs of ageing such as loose, wrinkled skin, lines, and folds.

Over time, your skin loses its full, firm, youthful appearance as a result of natural ageing. As the skin starts thinning and losing its natural elasticity, it becomes loose and starts to wrinkle. You also gradually lose the fatty tissue that helps to fill out your face, causing the skin to sag and wrinkle even more.

The loss of facial volume can make your face look thin and narrow, with sunken cheeks – sometimes to the extent of making you look older than you actually are. Is a simple, injectable volumising treatment that works by stimulating the build up of the body’s natural collagen to help smooth out lines and wrinkles. It also helps to restore lost facial volume to give you a fuller, younger-looking face. The enhancement is long lasting and looks completely natural.

With Polylactic Acid (PLA), you can restore facial contour and eliminate lines, wrinkles and sunken cheeks without resorting to face lifts or cosmetic surgery. PLA is a an injectable synthetic material that contains skin-smoothing microparticles to help lift and smooth sagging skin, wrinkles, creases, dark circles, and scars. The effect of Polylactic Acid (PLA), cosmetic treatment is gradual and exceptionally natural looking. Two or three treatments are usually required, and the benefits may become noticeable after about six weeks. No allergy testing is needed before treatment.

Technique

The mechanism of action of this implant is based on skin renewal at the cellular level with the progressive formation of new collagen.

Treatment with Polylactic Acid reverses facial aging progressively, without resorting to aggressive procedures or surgical interventions. It is injected into the dermis, through small infiltrations that cause minimal discomfort.

Subsequently, the product induces the formation of new collagen in a natural and progressive way, so that the patient gradually perceives a better appearance. Several sessions are required, 3 on average, to obtain the desired aesthetic result.

Once the treatment is finished, the results are very long-lasting, up to 2 years. It is possible to carry out maintenance sessions after said period. Skin aging is characterized.

Aftercare

Infiltrations can cause slight pain or burning where they have been made. Likewise, the skin may present a slight inflammation and redness during the days after the treatment. In this case, avoid exposure to the sun and ultraviolet rays until these symptoms disappear.
