Collagen-stimulating filler (PLLA)

Collagen-stimulating filler (PLLA) is one of my most popular volumizing fillers. It is a volumizing filler that is injected deep in the dermal layer to diminish facial wrinkles, to reinforce your skin’s structure and spur the production of new collagen, helping to gradually restore fullness to facial wrinkles and folds. This results in a softer and more youthful appearance.

  • Collagen-stimulating filler (PLLA) is used to diminish facial wrinkles and folds such as smile lines, marionette lines (the lines from the corners of your mouth down toward your jawline), nasolabial folds (the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth), and chin wrinkles, and other sunken areas, such as your cheeks and temples.

You may notice immediate results, but it can take a few months to see the full results of your treatment

Collagen-stimulating filler (PLLA) has many off-label uses, including:

  • Nonsurgical butt lift or buttock augmentation
  • correction of cellulite
  • correction of chest, elbow, and knee wrinkles
  • It is used primarily to restore fullness to medium to deep facial wrinkles.

Results vary from person to person and are not guaranteed. Nothing here is medical advice — book a consultation and we will look at your case.
