What is PLLA Collagen Boosting Injection?

PLLA Collagen Boosting Injection, is a collagen biostimulator approved by the US FDA since 2004. After injection, PLLA Collagen Boosting Injection stimulates skin cells to produce new collagen and elastin- this improves skin quality and results in firmer, lifted skin with less fine lines and sagging1,2. Common treatment areas include the temple, cheeks, nasolabial fold and chin.

How does PLLA Collagen Boosting Injection work?

Each vial of PLLA Collagen Boosting Injection contains Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) 150mg, Sodium carboxymethycellulose (CMC) 90mg and mannitol 127mg. PLLA Collagen Boosting Injection, when injected into the dermis or subcutaneous tissue of the treatment area, triggers a controlled inflammatory effect and stimulates skin cells known as fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin to improve the skin’s structural integrity and elasticity.

Over time, PLLA is absorbed by the body and the newly formed collagen and elastin remains, thus creating natural and subtle-looking results. Clinical studies have shown that the level of Type 1 Collagen increases by 66.5% after a PLLA Collagen Boosting Injection treatment.

Why choose PLLA Collagen Boosting Injection?

PLLA Collagen Boosting Injection is ideal for clients who are seeking rejuvenation but wish for a more subtle and natural look.

While PLLA Collagen Boosting Injection costs more than a hyaluronic acid filler, it may be more cost effective given the long-lasting effects.
