Polylactic Acid
Injectable bio-stimulator for long-term collagen regeneration, volume restoration, and facial contour refinement
BOOK NOW
Polylactic Acid (PLA) is an advanced injectable treatment used to stimulate your body’s own collagen production over time. Unlike traditional fillers that add volume instantly, Polylactic Acid works gradually and structurally by encouraging your skin to rebuild its internal scaffolding — resulting in firmer, plumper, and smoother skin with natural-looking longevity. This treatment is ideal for those seeking subtle, progressive rejuvenation, improved facial contours, and restoration of skin density without dramatic changes or synthetic volume.

Polylactic Acid is a biodegradable, biocompatible synthetic compound that has been used in medicine for over 30 years. When injected into the skin, it acts as a collagen biostimulator — triggering fibroblasts to gradually produce new collagen over the course of weeks and months. Because of its delayed-action mechanism, results appear subtly and progressively, leading to a refreshed, naturally youthful appearance without puffiness or overfilling.
When will I start seeing results?
Visible volume begins to appear after 4–6 weeks; continues to improve over 3–6 months
How long will the procedure last?
30–60 minutes depending on the treatment area
Is the procedure painful?
Minimal discomfort; topical or local anesthetic is applied
What is the recommended frequency?
Typically 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart
Will I have downtime afterward?
Mild swelling or bruising for 1–3 days may occur
How many visits are necessary?
Full protocol requires 2–3 sessions; annual maintenance is recommended
Unlike fillers that add volume by filling space, Polylactic Acid works by stimulating your skin to produce its own collagen. It is injected into targeted areas such as the cheeks, temples, jawline, or nasolabial folds, where it triggers collagen remodeling and tissue thickening over time.
STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS
Facial structure and volume loss areas are assessed and marked
Polylactic Acid is injected into specific planes of the skin using fine needles or cannulas
Gentle massage is performed to evenly distribute the product and prevent nodules
You’ll receive guidance on self-massage, hydration, and follow-up care
Polylactic Acid doesn’t just restore volume — it strengthens the dermis, improves elasticity, and creates a smoother, lifted appearance by enhancing your skin’s own regenerative processes.
KEY BENEFITS
Stimulates natural collagen for firmer, denser skin
Improves skin texture and elasticity
Smooths fine lines and facial folds gradually
Restores youthful contours without exaggerated volume
Long-lasting results - up to 2 years with maintenance
This treatment is ideal for clients who:
Ideal Candidates
Have facial volume loss or hollow areas
Wish to address skin laxity and sagging gradually
Prefer long-term collagen stimulation over temporary fillers
Desire natural-looking rejuvenation and subtle lifting
Want to improve jawline, cheeks, temples, or nasolabial folds
Contraindications
Not suitable during pregnancy or for clients with active infections, autoimmune conditions affecting the skin, or allergy to PLA components. A full consultation is required before treatment.
At Cosmo Di, Polylactic Acid treatments are custom-designed based on facial volume distribution, aging patterns, and long-term skin goals. We assess where collagen loss is most apparent and build a plan to restore symmetry and youthful architecture.
CUSTOMIZATION FEATURES
Tailored dosing by facial area (e.g., mid-face vs. lower face)
Treatment timing spaced based on skin's regenerative response
Optional collagen-boosting skincare to support outcomes
Maintenance plans created for yearly refreshers after full correction
While Polylactic Acid restores deep structural support, pairing it with treatments from your master list that target hydration, surface texture, or fat contouring creates a full-spectrum rejuvenation effect.
Recommended Pairings
Morpheus8 Burst by INMODE: RF microneedling tightens the skin surface while PLA builds internal firmness
Lipolysis: After targeted fat reduction, PLA restores volume and definition in sculpted areas
Amino Acid Therapy: Provides essential proteins to enhance collagen formation and post-injection recovery
Why Combine Treatments?
These combinations allow for multi-level correction — addressing skin density, hydration, fat distribution, and tone all at once for a truly balanced result.
You’ll see a gradual but noticeable transformation in facial firmness, contour, and texture over time. This treatment is praised for its natural evolution and longevity.
