We offer consultations for bio-stimulatory dermal filler treatments using Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable substance that may be used in a treatment plan to support facial volume and skin appearance where age-related changes may have occurred.

This treatment is offered following a comprehensive face-to-face consultation to determine individual suitability and treatment planning. PLLA may be used as part of an overall cosmetic plan tailored to your aesthetic goals and clinical needs.

​

 

What to Expect During Treatment

​

• Your skin will be cleansed, and a local anaesthetic may be applied to minimise discomfort

• PLLA is prepared as a suspension before being administered using a fine cannula

• The product is administered beneath the skin into areas discussed during consultation, such as the temples, jawline, or cheeks, if clinically appropriate.

• The appointment duration varies but typically takes between 45–90 minutes

​

 

Comfort and Aftercare

​

Some individuals may experience temporary discomfort, redness, bruising, or swelling after treatment. A personalised aftercare guide will be provided and may include the following recommendations:

• Gently massage the treated areas if instructed by your clinician

• Avoid strenuous activity, direct heat, and alcohol for 24–72 hours

• Use a gentle cleanser and apply SPF 30+ sunscreen daily

• Refrain from applying exfoliants, retinoids, or products containing alcohol until advised

 

 

Follow-Up and Frequency

​

Changes may gradually become noticeable in the weeks following treatment. Your practitioner will work with you to determine whether additional sessions are recommended based on your response and goals. Multiple treatments may be suggested, spaced several weeks apart.

All treatments are carried out by an experienced registered nurse, under medical supervision and prescription as required.
