Delivered as granules of powder in a vial, Theraset PLLA is a collagen stimulator for injection, made from poly-L-lactic acid. It is reconstituted before use, placed in the subcutaneous layer, and comes in three vial strengths.
PLLA is a biodegradable material. Once in the tissue, the particles gradually break down and are metabolised by the body, ending up as glucose, carbon dioxide and water. While they are present, the particles prompt new collagen formation and increased activity of fibroblasts, the cells that build connective tissue. This is why products of this type are grouped as collagen stimulators rather than as volumising gels; our introduction to collagen stimulators based on this material gives more background.
The stated focus is deep wrinkles and folds of the face, together with the contour of the face. Regions named in the source are the forehead, the frown lines, the cheeks, the chin and the area below the eyes.
Three vial strengths are listed: 214 mg, 365 mg and 500 mg. The choice usually depends on the size of the area being treated and the practitioner's preferred reconstitution protocol.
According to the source, an initial course consists of three to four sessions. After reconstitution, the suspension goes into the subcutaneous layer, and the particles then biodegrade slowly over the following period.
What does PLLA break down into? Glucose, carbon dioxide and water.
How many sizes are there? Three: 214 mg, 365 mg and 500 mg per vial.
At what depth is it placed? In the subcutaneous layer.
