Polylactic acid

What is polylactic acid?

Polylactic acid, or more precisely L-polylactic acid, belongs to the group of tissue stimulators. It is one of the strongest preparations of this type – it has a comprehensive and long-term effect – not only fills, but, above all, activates skin cells to work more intensively.

Polylactic acid occurs naturally in the body, albeit in low concentrations. Interestingly, polylactic acid does not stay in the skin permanently after application – the body metabolises it fully within a few to several weeks. Fortunately, this does not mean the end of the effects – quite the contrary! The entire process of skin stimulation lasts up to 2.5 years, which in aesthetic medicine is a truly impressive result.

 

Polylactic acid for the face - regeneration and rejuvenation

At Neonia Clinic, you can benefit from a polylactic acid facial treatment, which has been popular for years among patients looking for natural ways to achieve long-lasting rejuvenation results. Polylactic acid, which has a stimulating effect – when administered deep into the skin, it triggers a controlled regeneration process, forcing its cells to produce new collagen and elastin.

As a result, the facial skin gradually regains its firmness and density, wrinkles and furrows become shallower and the oval of the face becomes clearer. It is a treatment particularly recommended for those who do not want to turn to classic fillers, but need a subtle skin thickening and natural lifting, visible for many months.

The first results of a polylactic acid facial treatment are noticeable after just a few weeks, and the final effect lasts for up to two years. All thanks to the fact that polylactic acid not only fills, but above all stimulates the skin to rebuild itself.

Polylactic acid - a natural revolution in body modelling

Modern aesthetic medicine is opening up more and more possibilities to improve the appearance of the body naturally – without using a scalpel. One substance that has been making waves recently is polylactic acid – a unique tissue stimulator that helps lift the buttocks, firm the thighs and slenderise the shoulder line.

How does the polylactic acid treatment for the body work?

The first stage is a consultation with a specialist – the doctor takes a medical history, assesses the condition of the skin and adjusts the amount of preparation and injection sites accordingly. The skin is then thoroughly disinfected and anaesthetised with a special cream.

The procedure itself involves injecting the polylactic acid solution into the deep layers of the skin using a thin needle or cannula. The product is injected evenly, layer by layer, to achieve a natural filling effect and tissue stimulation.

During application, the patient may feel a slight spreading under the skin – this is completely normal and indicates that the preparation is filling the space where it will begin to act. The entire treatment usually takes between 30 and 90 minutes – depending on the size of the area we are modelling.

Post-treatment recommendations

The polylactic acid treatment is quick and minimally invasive and, most importantly, almost painless thanks to the use of local anaesthesia.

There is no need to stay in the clinic after the procedure – patients can return home and go about their daily activities straight away. There may be some mild swelling, redness or bruising at the post-surgery site, but this usually subsides after a few days. After leaving the clinic, the patient should massage the application site on his or her own for a few days – this is a very important part of the treatment to help achieve the ideal result.

How does polylactic acid work?

The biggest advantage of polylactic acid over classic fillers is that it not only fills, but also stimulates the skin to regenerate itself. After subcutaneous application, it induces a small, controlled inflammation. Sound threatening? Relax! It is not visible to the naked eye and does not affect your wellbeing. The purpose of this inflammation is to cause the skin cells to produce collagen and elastin in order to defend themselves. It is these two substances that are responsible for the firmness, elasticity and density of the skin.

The results of the polylactic acid treatment are very natural – without the impression of being “exaggerated” or radically altered. The effects appear gradually and you look younger and more radiant.

Why perform a polylactic acid treatment on the body

Polylactic acid treatment is a great alternative to plastic surgery and implants. It requires no convalescence or long healing. The skin begins to remodel naturally, producing collagen and elastin, and you’ll notice week by week that your body becomes firmer and more sculpted – it’s as if time has turned back!

This treatment is ideal for those who want a natural lifting effect, but without the artificial look.

What are the indications for polylactic acid treatment?

The treatment is recommended for all patients who want to improve the appearance of the body and the condition of the skin, without the use of a scalpel. The main indications are:

sagging, flat buttocks,
loose thigh skin,
flabby arms,
loss of skin firmness after pregnancy or major weight loss.

In our clinic, we also perform polylactic acid treatments for the face – helping to smooth wrinkles and improve skin firmness in the cheek area, temples or jawline.

Effects of polylactic acid on the body

Polylactic acid treatment produces multidimensional results that last a really long time. What can you expect?

A natural lifting and rounding of the buttocks,
visibly firmer thighs,
improved skin tone of the arms,
smoother, thicker and more resilient skin.

The treatment can make your silhouette look younger and more proportionate – without using a scalpel or undergoing a long recovery.

It is worth remembering that the effect builds up gradually – the first changes are visible after just a few weeks and last for up to two years. The product does not linger in the body, so the risk of future complications is minimal.

Modelling of the buttocks with polylactic acid. Is it worth enlarging the buttocks with polylactic acid?

In recent years, more and more people have been looking for ways to naturally lift and sculpt the buttocks without the use of implants. Polylactic acid is proving to be an excellent alternative here – it stimulates the skin to rebuild, resulting in a natural rounding and lifting of this body part. The result? Fuller, firmer buttocks, without looking artificial or exaggerated.

When is it a good idea to use polylactic acid on the thighs?

The thighs are one of those areas of the body where it is particularly easy to lose firmness, especially after major weight loss or as a result of ageing processes. Polylactic acid is extremely effective here – it helps firm the inner side of the thighs, improves skin tone and, if performed regularly, can also optically slenderise the silhouette. It is an excellent solution for people who are not satisfied with the effects of exercise or who want to accelerate the process of shaping their legs. It is worth noting that the treatment does not interfere with muscles or fat tissue – it only works on the skin, stimulating it to renew.

Polylactic acid - the ideal preparation for firming the ‘pelicans’ (arms)

Arm flabbiness, especially in the back of the arms, is a problem that many women struggle with. So-called “pelicans” are difficult to eliminate with training alone – in this case, skin firming is key. Polylactic acid is perfect for this role – it restores skin elasticity, improves skin tone and makes the arms look younger and slimmer. The treatment is completely safe and avoids invasive surgical procedures. The effects are gradual but clear – after a few weeks, you will notice a smoothing of the skin and a reduction in flabbiness.

Contraindications to polylactic acid treatment

The procedure is not for everyone – so a consultation is necessary before performing it. Polylactic acid is not recommended for patients:

  • pregnant and breastfeeding, ,
  • with active skin infections or inflammations,
  • with autoimmune diseases,
  • with tumours,
  • with a tendency to hypertrophic scars.

During a consultation at the Neonia clinic, a specialist will assess whether this method will be suitable for you and suggest the best treatment plan.
