SKIN TIGHTENING BY PLLA COLLAGEN
PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid) is an injectable collagen biostimulator designed to stimulate your body's natural collagen production.
As we age, collagen levels gradually decline, leading to skin laxity, reduced elasticity, loss of firmness, and a less defined facial appearance. PLLA works by encouraging the body to produce new collagen, helping to rebuild the skin's support structure from within.
Over the following months, newly formed collagen helps improve skin thickness, firmness, and elasticity. This gradual process can result in tighter-looking skin, improved facial contours, and a naturally refreshed appearance.
Because PLLA focuses on collagen regeneration, it is particularly well suited for patients seeking skin tightening, improved skin quality, and long-term rejuvenation.

Long Lasting Improvement
Are These Your Concerns
Many visible signs of ageing occur because of collagen loss, reduced skin elasticity, and weakening of the skin's support structure.
Skin Laxity
Does your skin feel less firm than before? Loss of collagen can cause the skin to become looser and less resilient over time.
Facial Sagging
Have you noticed your cheeks, jawline, or lower face appearing heavier or less defined than before?
Fine Lines And Wrinkles
As collagen levels decline, fine lines and wrinkles can become more noticeable, particularly around the cheeks, mouth, and lower face.
Loss Of Skin Firmness
Does your skin feel thinner, softer, or less elastic than it did a few years ago?
Crepey Skin Texture
Collagen depletion can lead to skin that appears thinner, rougher, and less youthful in texture.
Ageing Skin Quality
Dullness, reduced elasticity, and overall loss of skin quality are often signs of declining collagen production.
Loss Of Facial Definition
As skin support weakens, facial contours may become less defined and youthful-looking.

The Importance Of Doctor Skill
Depth Matters
Successful PLLA treatments require far more than simply injecting product.
For PLLA to work effectively, the product must be placed at the appropriate depth within the tissues. Injecting too superficially may increase the risk of irregularities, while injecting too deeply may reduce its ability to stimulate collagen in the areas where it is most needed.
Achieving optimal results requires:
• Careful assessment of skin thickness and quality
• Understanding of facial anatomy
• Precise depth selection
• Strategic treatment planning
• Advanced injection techniques
• Strong aesthetic judgement
Because PLLA works by stimulating collagen production, proper placement is essential to ensure that collagen develops in the correct areas to improve skin firmness, elasticity, and overall skin quality.
Injectable treatments are highly operator-dependent. Even when using the same product, outcomes can vary significantly depending on the doctor's understanding of facial anatomy, treatment planning, and injection technique.

FAQ
How is PLLA different from regular fillers?
PLLA works by stimulating your body's natural collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers that primarily add volume, PLLA focuses on rebuilding collagen and restoring facial support over time.
How is PLLA different from PCL?
Both PLLA and PCL are collagen stimulators that help rejuvenate the face by encouraging your body to produce new collagen. The main difference is that PLLA focuses primarily on collagen regeneration, making it particularly effective for improving skin firmness, elasticity, and overall skin quality. PCL provides both immediate structural support and collagen stimulation, making it especially useful for facial lifting, contouring, and restoring definition. In simple terms, PLLA is often chosen for skin rejuvenation and tightening, while PCL is often preferred for facial lifting and structural support.
How long does PLLA last?
Results can last for 2 years or more depending on the individual, treatment plan, and lifestyle factors.
Is there downtime?
Most patients experience minimal downtime. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur temporarily after treatment.
When will I see results?
Results develop gradually as collagen production increases. Most patients notice progressive improvement over the following weeks and months.
Is PLLA painful?
Most patients tolerate treatment very well. Comfort measures are used during treatment to minimise discomfort.
How many sessions will I need?
Treatment plans vary according to age, degree of collagen loss, and desired outcome. For optimal result, usually 3 sessions are required. Dr Zeng will create a personalised treatment plan during consultation.
