PLLA Biostimulator
(Poly-L-Lactic Acid Biostimulation)
PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid) is a collagen-stimulating treatment designed to restore skin structure by improving firmness, density, and support from within. As collagen levels decline, the skin becomes thinner, less supported, and more prone to laxity. PLLA works by activating the skin’s natural regenerative processes, encouraging gradual collagen production in the deeper layers of the face.
When introduced into the skin, PLLA stimulates fibroblast activity, leading to progressive strengthening of the tissue rather than immediate volume. This allows the skin to rebuild its own structure over time, resulting in improved firmness, better definition, and a more stable, supported appearance.
The treatment is particularly suited to individuals experiencing skin laxity, volume loss, or a general decline in skin quality. It is used when the focus is on restoring structure and long-term support, rather than creating instant or artificial change.
To make your treatment journey seamless, we offer a range of payment options on treatments of £300 or more.
