Recessed Facial Contour

PLLA is a safe, biocompatible and biodegradable material which can be broken down and absorbed by human body. It is medically proven that it can stimulate fibroblasts to produce more new collagen and skin tissues of its own. It can smooth out the wrinkles, creases and folds. A youthful look with natural face contours can be restored after the completion of treatment.

No. of treatment sessions:

1. An average of 3 treatment sessions is required, at about 4-weekly intervals for optimal correction. Due to different skin condition and response, the required dosage and exact number of sessions cannot be predicted with complete accuracy. Doctor’s consultation is required for diagnosis and pretreatment evaluation.

Main difference between PLLA and Dermal Filler:

1. PLLA acts as a "collagen stimulator", which stimulates the productions of new collagen of its own, whereas Dermal Filler acts as a "collagen replacer", which fills up the crease and depressed area locally.
2. The effect of PLLA is slower, which generally appears in about 3 months; it gradually and subtly corrects the facial wrinkles and folds. Yet the effect of Dermal Filler is immediate.

Attention:

1. Side effects may include discomfort, redness, bruising, and swelling.
2. Such effects should be subsided within hours or couple of days at most.
3. To achieve the best result, massage the treated site gently is suggested. Apply the "5-5-5" Rule – Massage for 5 minutes, 5 times a day for 5 days after treatment.
