What are the benefits of PLLA

The main advantages are that PLLA stimulates collagen formation, which enhances skin thickness by about 15-20%; PLLA can last for about 18 months to 2 years; there is a rather short recovery time, with patients mostly recovering after 48 hours; the allergy rates are very low, at approximately 0.5-1% only; and suitable for large-scale improvement and fine lines elimination, fine lines reduction rate reached up to 70-80%.

Stimulate Natural Collagen Production

Poly-L-lactic acid can increase the production of natural skin collagen by 20%-30%; its effects become visible 3 to 6 months after the treatment.

The first perceptible effect appears in about 4-6 weeks from one administration of this active ingredient. Its total duration, with multiple treatments, can cause further development for 18 months.

The cost of PLLA injections is approximately 2,000 to 5,000 RMB per treatment, and the effects can last for up to 1 year or longer.

It has been shown in studies that, with multiple treatments, PLLA can increase the overall facial skin condition by more than 30% compared to pretreatment.

From a medical safety perspective, the incidence of side effects with PLLA is relatively low.

Maintenance treatments can be given every 6 to 12 months according to individual needs.

Suitable for Large Areas

PLLA can make the skin gradually firmer and smoother within 2 to 3 months, effectively improving facial sagging by 30%-40%.

According to a 2019 study by the Dermatology and Aesthetics Association, PLLA can increase collagen density in large areas by about 20%-30% on average.

PLLA treatments cost between 3,000 to 8,000 RMB each, depending on the product and service provided, and can last as long as 18 months to 2 years.

With 2 to 3 treatments, PLLA is able to restore 20%-30% of the original facial contours.

Maintenance treatments are usually carried out every 6 to 12 months.

According to a research article published in the International Journal of Medical Aesthetics, skin density increased by 15%-25% after PLLA treatment.

Long-Lasting Results

The effects of PLLA injections last longer, however; 18 months to 2 years. Other well-accepted injectable materials can sustain their influence in the skin no more than 3-6 months.

Within 3 – 6 months after the injections, its production effects could remain for about 1-2 years, and patients can enjoy maintenance only once a year.

According to data obtained from the International Dermatology Research Journal, more than 70% of the patients who underwent PLLA treatment showed signs that were still quite evident after a period of 18 months.

Many users start to notice effects at 6 months, which can persist for up to 1.5 years or even longer.

The changes in facial contours after injections of PLLA stabilize within 6 months, while the increase in skin thickness can be maintained at 15%-20% within 6 months of injection and still show strong effects at 12 to 18 months.

PLLA is highly adjustable, and 80% of patients believe the recovery period for PLLA treatments is shorter than they expected.

Low Allergenicity

PLLA allergy is infrequent, only about 0.5%-1%.

In the clinical follow-up study with more than 1,000 participants, less than 10 people showed a mild skin irritation which happened within 24 hours from injection and improved spontaneously within 48 hours.

97% of the patients had no long-term allergic reaction and discomfort after using PLLA in the 12-month follow-up.

Comprehensive Fine Line Reduction

Data from the 2019 Dermatology Journal postulates that PLLA’s fine line reduction activity around the eye area may reach as high as 70%-80%.

A series of 1,000 participants later showed that, indeed, post-treatment, around 90% of the patients had still noticed a significant improvement in fine lines 6 months later, with effects lasting well over a year.

One 2021 study indicated that the first evidence of the effects of PLLA treatment on hand wrinkles appeared after 8 weeks and that noticeable changes in general skin condition occurred within 3 months, with about 92% of patients enjoying visibly smoother skin.

The research data of dermatology in 2018 showed that PLLA increased skin density and thickness, hence highly improving skin elasticity.
