Polylactic acid is biocompatible and fully resorbable substance, which has been used in medicine for many years (for example, in surgical sutures). In cosmetology it acts as powerful collagen biostimulant, triggering the processes of natural skin renewal.
PLA-based preparations (such as Sculptra or DermaVeil) are injected under the skin and stimulate the body to independently produce new collagen fibers, which provides long-lasting and natural rejuvenation.
💡 How is polylactic acid different from fillers?
| Parameter | Polylactic acid | Hyaluronic fillers |
|---|---|---|
| Main action | Collagen stimulation | Volume filling |
| Effect | Gradual, natural | Instant, expressed |
| Duration | Up to 2 years | 6–12 months |
| The risk of a “crowded” face | Minimum | It occurs with excessive administration |
🌿 Benefits of polylactic acid
✅ Naturalness of the result — the skin's own structure is restored, rather than the face being artificially changed
✅ Preserving facial expressions — you look younger, but you remain yourself
✅ Safety — PLA is gradually excreted from the body
✅ Long-lasting effect — the result lasts up to 24 months
✅ Gradual action — rejuvenation occurs imperceptibly for those around you
