PDLLA is a poly-L-lactic acid preparation that increases the level of natural collagen. Thanks to its action, it restores the facial volume lost with age, improves skin structure and provides a natural lifting effect by elevating sagging areas of the face. PDLLA works gradually, improving the appearance of the skin and restoring elasticity. The overall result becomes visible over the course of several weeks. Thanks to this approach, the effect is not perceived by others as the result of a treatment, but rather as naturally rested and healthy-looking skin.
The treatment is recommended for all individuals over the age of 30 who have noticed loss of facial fat tissue and skin laxity. In exceptional cases, this method may also be used in younger individuals, especially those experiencing facial fat loss in the course of chronic diseases.
The procedure itself involves applying the preparation to specific areas of the face. The injections are not painful; however, if the patient is concerned about discomfort, local anaesthesia may be used. At the end of the procedure, the physician performs a facial massage to distribute the product appropriately. At home, the patient is required to gently massage the face 3 times a day for 3–5 minutes over a period of 2–3 weeks. For several days after the procedure, the face should not be exposed to the sun or to other sources of UV radiation.
