HOW IT WORKS
This treatment is an injectable bio-stimulator containing microparticles of Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) which gradually revitalises the skin’s structural foundation, providing natural-looking, long-term results for up to 25 months.
It works to stimulate the skin’s own collagen production and is suitable for increasing the volume of depressed areas, particularly to correct skin depressions such as skin creases, wrinkles, cellulite, folds, scars and for skin aging. Also suitable for large volume corrections of the signs of facial fat loss (lipoatrophy).
