Poly-L-lactic acid collagen stimulator injections in Montreal

A poly-L-lactic acid collagen stimulator restores facial volume by prompting your skin to produce its own collagen, rather than filling a line directly. Nothing looks different on the day. Volume returns across three to six months and holds for one to two years.

Overview

What the treatment does, and how a first visit goes.

01

What does a poly-L-lactic acid collagen stimulator do?

Collagen is what holds the midface up. As it thins, the cheeks flatten, the temples hollow and the folds around the mouth deepen. A poly-L-lactic acid collagen stimulator works on that cause rather than on the line itself. It is placed in the deep dermis, where it prompts your skin to build new collagen over the following months.

The change arrives slowly, and that is the point. Nothing looks different on the day of treatment. Volume returns across three to six months, at a pace other people tend to read as rested rather than treated.

Because the result is built from your own collagen, it holds far longer than a filler. Most people return for a maintenance session every one to two years.

02

What areas can it treat?

A poly-L-lactic acid collagen stimulator is placed where volume has been lost across a broad area, rather than along a single line. Your practitioner assesses the whole face at consultation and decides which areas to treat, and in what order.

Treatment is carried out by a physician at all three clinics. Every course begins with a medical consultation to confirm the treatment is appropriate for you.

Areas treated

Where this treatment is used

Every area is assessed on its own. Some are treated together in one visit, some are better left for another day, and we will tell you which is which.

  • 01

    Temples

    The hollow that opens above the cheekbone and narrows the upper face.

  • 02

    Cheeks and midface

    The volume that flattens first, and carries the rest of the face with it.

  • 03

    Nasolabial folds

    The lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth.

  • 04

    Marionette lines

    The lines that run down from the corners of the mouth toward the chin.

  • 05

    Chin

    Projection and definition at the base of the face.

  • 06

    Jawline

    The line from chin to ear, and the hollow that forms just ahead of the jowl.

  • 07

    Neck

    Skin quality and crepiness, where thin skin shows change early.

  • 08

    Décolleté

    The chest, where sun exposure and sleeping position both leave lines.

  • 09

    Hands

    The back of the hand, where tendons and veins become prominent as volume goes.

  • 10

    Upper arms

    Skin laxity along the inner upper arm.

  • 11

    Knees

    The skin just above the knee, where laxity gathers.

  • 12

    Buttocks and hip dips

    Contour and skin quality, treated over a course rather than in one session.
