PLLA filler, namely polyglactic acid filler, is a filler used for aesthetic purposes. PLLA filler, obtained by using a polymer known as polylactic acid, is used in areas where volume loss is observed in the skin, and it is possible to restore a fuller appearance and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
PLLA filler, also known as smart filler, triggers collagen production in the skin unlike other fillers and has a long-lasting effect. It has many benefits such as reducing wrinkles and restoring lost volume to the skin. PLLA filler treatment differs from filler procedures applied due to symptoms that occur due to aging. The filler applied is slowly absorbed by the skin, thus allowing the skin to repair and heal itself.
PLLA filler, which has the effects of recovering sagging that occurs as a result of the skin losing its firmness due to various reasons and reducing deep lines on the face, is applied to the skin by injection.

How is PLLA Filler Applied?

Although there are noticeable effects after PLLA filler injection treatment, an average of 3 to 4 months is needed for the main effect to be seen.
