Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA)

PLLA, or Poly-L-Lactic Acid, is a collagen-stimulating substance used to enhance skin quality and add subtle volume. 

Unlike traditional fillers that provide instant results by adding volume under the skin, PLLA works gradually to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. This results in a more natural, longer-lasting improvement in areas like the cheek hollows and temples.

The results from PLLA treatments, such as Sculptra or AesPLLA, can last up to 2 years. Since PLLA stimulates collagen production, the effects improve gradually over time, providing long-lasting volume and skin quality enhancement.

For optimal results, we recommend a series of 3 PLLA treatments, spaced 6 weeks apart. This allows your body to produce new collagen, giving you gradual yet noticeable improvement in skin thickness and texture. 

Yes, PLLA is particularly effective for treating cheek hollows and temple hollows, providing a subtle, natural-looking volume. 

Unlike dermal fillers, PLLA focuses on collagen production, enhancing the skin’s quality while filling out hollow areas gradually. Our PLLA treatments in Blackpool are tailored to suit individual needs for a more youthful appearance. 

PLLA, including brands like Sculptra and AesPLLA, offers a more gradual, natural-looking enhancement compared to traditional fillers. It focuses on skin thickening, quality improvement, and subtle volume, rather than the immediate, dramatic effects of fillers. 

This makes it ideal for those seeking long-term, subtle rejuvenation.

At The Gorgeous Clinic in Blackpool, we primarily use AesPLLA for our PLLA treatments, but we also offer Sculptra upon request. 

Both are high-quality PLLA products that work to stimulate collagen and improve skin texture over time. Note that there may be an additional charge for Sculptra due to its higher product cost. 

Yes, PLLA can be combined with other treatments like chemical peels or dermal fillers for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. 

During your consultation at our clinic, we’ll discuss your aesthetic goals and create a tailored plan that may include PLLA along with other skin-enhancing treatments. 

Side effects from PLLA treatments are generally minimal and may include mild swelling or redness at the injection sites. 

These effects typically subside within a few days. Our team at The Gorgeous Clinic will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results. 

 Unlike dermal fillers that provide instant results, PLLA works gradually. You can expect to see noticeable improvements in skin quality and subtle volume within 2-3 months after your first treatment. Full results develop over time as your body produces new collagen.
