What is poly l lactic acid filler? Poly l lactic acid (PLLA) filler is a synthetic, biodegradable, and biocompatible material used in aesthetic medicine for facial volume restoration and wrinkle reduction. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, PLLA works by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production, offering long-lasting and natural-looking results. Such as Devolux®, rejuvenates the skin naturally, gradually and effectively, with long-lasting results. This innovative product offers a comprehensive solution for enhancing facial contours and rejuvenating the skin.
PLLA fillers do not provide immediate results. Instead, they work by stimulating the body’s own collagen production, leading to gradual and sustained improvement in skin texture and volume.
Upon injection, PLLA microparticles act as a scaffold, stimulating fibroblasts to produce collagen. This process takes weeks to months, with the new collagen gradually replacing the lost volume and smoothing out wrinkles.
As collagen production increases, the PLLA particles are slowly metabolized and absorbed by the body. The degradation of PLLA results in the formation of lactic acid, which is naturally processed and eliminated.
PLLA fillers offer several advantages over other types of fillers and facial rejuvenation treatments.
The collagen stimulation provided by PLLA fillers leads to results that can last up to two years or more, significantly longer than many hyaluronic acid fillers.
The gradual increase in collagen production allows for a subtle and natural enhancement of facial features, avoiding the “overfilled” look that can sometimes result from other fillers.
PLLA is biocompatible and biodegradable, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions. The body naturally metabolizes and eliminates PLLA over time.
PLLA fillers can address a wide range of aesthetic concerns, from volume loss to deep wrinkles, making them a versatile option for facial.
PLLA fillers are primarily used for facial volume restoration and the treatment of wrinkles and fine lines.
PLLA fillers are effective in restoring volume to areas of the face that have lost fat and collagen due to aging, such as the cheeks, temples, and jawline. This volumization helps create a more youthful and contoured appearance.
PLLA fillers can smooth out deep lines and folds, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines) and marionette lines. By promoting collagen production, PLLA provides a natural lift and reduces the appearance of these wrinkles.
PLLA was initially approved for the treatment of facial lipoatrophy in patients with HIV. The ability of PLLA to restore significant volume loss makes it a valuable option for patients with this condition.
Devolux® utilizes the innovative technology in its manufacturing process. Unlike traditional PLLA fillers with particle sizes ranging from 10-100µm, Devolux® features much smaller particles sized at only 3-5µm. This ultra-fine particle size enables Devolux® to dissolve and disperse completely within five minutes, minimizing the risk of post-treatment nodules and papules, ensuring a smoother and safer treatment experience.
The results of Devolux® are not only immediate but also enduring. Patients can enjoy the rejuvenating effects for an extended period, with the results lasting up to 2 to 3 years. This longevity surpasses many other treatments available, providing a more sustainable solution for maintaining youthful skin, providing patients with sustained rejuvenation and minimizing the need for frequent touch-ups.
The outcomes of Devolux® treatments are praised for their natural appearance. The product is designed to work harmoniously with the body's natural processes, enhancing features without the overdone look that can come with some cosmetic procedures. Its advanced formulation and precise delivery mechanism allow for seamless integration into the skin, resulting in subtle yet noticeable improvements in texture, volume, and overall appearance.
