How do collagen stimulators work?
Poly-L-lactic acid is biocompatible and does not fill the area immediately like a filler. After the injections it stimulates the skin to produce new collagen over the following weeks, so volume and firmness return gradually and naturally.
Suitable for
- Facial sagging and volume loss with age.
- Hollow cheeks and temples.
- Better skin quality and firmness.
- Some body areas such as the buttocks, above the knees and arms, as assessed by the doctor.
After the session
The doctor will usually ask you to massage the area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days, so the product spreads evenly, and to avoid strong sun and high heat for a short time.
