How is PLLA (poly-l-lactic acid) different from traditional dermal fillers?

Traditional dermal fillers provide immediate volume by physically filling an area. PLLA is a collagen biostimulator that works gradually by stimulating your skin's own collagen production for subtle, natural-looking improvement over time.

What results can I expect, how soon will I see them, and how many sessions are needed?

PLLA results develop gradually. Initial fullness from the treatment fluid settles in a few days, while collagen changes begin to appear subtly after several weeks and continue to improve over the next few months. A series of 2 to 3 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart is typically advised based on clinical evaluation.

How Long Does the Treatment Last? Is it permanent?

Results from PLLA treatment can last up to two years or more once collagen has been established. It is not permanent, but the results are long-lasting compared with many non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments.

Is the Poly-L-Lactic Acid Injection Painful?

The treatment is designed to be comfortable. A strong topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure, and the PLLA solution is prepared with anaesthetic for additional comfort during injection.

What is the downtime, aftercare, and are there potential side effects?

Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site is common and usually settles within a few days. After treatment, patients are advised to massage the treated areas, avoid prolonged sun exposure, intense heat, and vigorous activity for 24 to 48 hours, and follow their doctor's aftercare instructions.

Who is an ideal candidate, and who should avoid this treatment?

Suitable candidates usually have facial volume loss, structural thinning, or skin laxity and prefer gradual, natural-looking improvement. Treatment is not recommended for people who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have active skin infection or inflammation, known sensitivity to poly-L-lactic acid, autoimmune disorders, abnormal scar formation, or require treatment in delicate areas such as the under-eye region.

Can it be combined with other aesthetic treatments?

Yes. Depending on your skin condition and goals, PLLA collagen biostimulator treatment may be combined with other aesthetic treatments as part of a personalised medical plan after assessment by the doctor.

Is This PLLA Treatment Reversible? What if I don't like the results?

PLLA works by stimulating collagen rather than by placing a dissolvable gel, so it is not considered reversible in the same way as hyaluronic acid filler. This is why a careful consultation, gradual treatment planning, and precise placement by an experienced doctor are important.

Why is this a Go-To for a Softer, Baby-Face Effect?

Loviselle is often associated with the “baby-face” approach to facial rejuvenation, focusing on soft fullness, smoother-looking contours and gradual collagen support.

Instead of creating an immediately filled look, this PLLA Biostimulator works progressively to support collagen production beneath the skin.

Over time, the skin may appear firmer, smoother and more naturally refreshed.

Key Ingredient

What Is Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) and How Does It Work?

Poly-L-Lactic Acid is an FDA-approved, biocompatible, and biodegradable compound used in medical injectables to promote collagen formation in the deeper layers of the skin. Once injected, PLLA particles stimulate fibroblasts, the skin’s collagen-producing cells encouraging gradual tissue strengthening and volume restoration in targeted areas. The changes that occur are typically subtle and cumulative, allowing for outcomes that integrate with the skin’s natural healing and structural renewal processes.

The Science

PLLA: A Gradual Process for Softer Collagen Support

Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, Loviselle works gradually by supporting your skin’s natural collagen production.

1. Initial Soft Fullness: Some initial fullness may be seen after treatment due to the solution used to suspend the PLLA particles. This usually settles within 3-5 days as the solution is naturally absorbed by the body.

2. Collagen Stimulation: The PLLA microparticles remain beneath the skin, where they help stimulate fibroblast activity. These cells play an important role in collagen production.

3. Structural Restoration: As collagen develops over time, the treated areas may appear firmer, smoother and more softly supported. Results are gradual, with more visible improvement often seen within 4-6 depending on your skin condition, treatment plan and individual collagen response.

Why Choose Loviselle PLLA Collagen Biostimulator?

What May This Treatment Help With?

This PLLA collagen Biostimulator may be considered for individuals seeking to support:

Subtle Facial Volume Support

Helps support soft facial fullness without an immediately filled appearance

Supporting Soft Facial Fullness (Focus on cheeks/temples & areas of mild volume change)

Loviselle may be considered for areas that appear flatter, less supported or mildly hollow over time. As a PLLA collagen Biostimulator, it works gradually by supporting collagen production beneath the skin, helping to create softer facial fullness and a naturally refreshed appearance.

Skin Firmness

Supports collagen production to improve the look of firmer, more resilient skin

Improving Skin Firmness & Support (Focus on areas affected by mild laxity)

The loss of collagen and elastin leads to the skin sagging. By stimulating collagen production, this injectable effectively “thickens” and tightens the skin from the inside out. This new structural support helps to lift sagging skin (jowls) and improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, such as smile lines (nasolabial folds) and marionette lines, by reinforcing the skin’s foundation.

Softer Contours

Helps refine the appearance of facial contours affected by early volume changes

Softening Facial Contours (Focus on smile lines, mid-face and lower-face transitions)

Early volume changes can make facial contours appear sharper, flatter or less smooth. Loviselle Collagen Biostimulator may help support collagen development in suitable areas, creating a softer-looking transition between facial features over time.

Refreshed Appearance

Supports a smoother, softer and naturally refreshed-looking facial profile

Creating a Softer “Baby-Face” Effect (Focus on overall facial softness & balance)

Loviselle Collagen Biostimulator is often associated with a softer “baby-face” approach to facial rejuvenation. Rather than creating obvious volume, it focuses on gradual collagen support to help the face appear smoother, softer and more refreshed over time.

Common Treatment Areas

Where can Loviselle be used?

Loviselle Collagen Biostimulator may be considered for selected facial areas where gradual collagen support can help improve soft volume, firmness and smoother-looking contours. Treatment areas are determined after a doctor-led facial assessment.

Cheeks

May help support soft facial fullness and improve the appearance of mild mid-face flattening.

Temples

May be considered for mild hollowing or loss of support around the upper face.

Nasolabial folds

May help soften the appearance of smile lines by supporting surrounding facial structure over time.

Lower Face

May support areas affected by mild laxity, soft tissue changes or reduced contour definition.

Jawline & Lateral Face

May help create a more softly supported facial profile when used as part of a personalised treatment plan.

A Holistic Approach to Soft Facial Rejuvenation

Loviselle is a PLLA collagen biostimulator that may be considered for more than isolated lines or folds. Because it works by supporting collagen production in selected treatment areas, the focus is not simply to “fill” individual concerns.

At Asimont Clinic, our doctor will assess your facial structure, skin quality, degree of volume change and overall facial balance before planning the treatment. This allows Loviselle to be used thoughtfully to support softer contours, subtle fullness and a naturally refreshed-looking appearance over time.

What To Expect

How Is PLLA Collagen Biostimulator Administered at Asimont Clinic?

Step 1

Your Personalised PLLA Consultation

Our aesthetic doctor will conduct a thorough evaluation of your skin condition, facial structure, and aesthetic goals. This is where we determine if you are a good candidate for this PLLA treatment. We will discuss what to expect from the procedure, the results, the number of sessions, and create a personalised treatment plan.

Step 2

Cleanse & Numb

The treatment areas of the face are thoroughly disinfected to ensure safety and clinical hygiene. A strong topical numbing cream is a standard part of the procedure and is applied to the skin for 20-30 minutes. This ensures the procedure is as comfortable as possible.

Step 3

The PLLA Injection Session

Loviselle Collagen Biostimulator is administered into selected treatment areas using an injection technique chosen by the doctor based on your facial anatomy, treatment goals and suitability. Precise placement is important, as the PLLA Biostimulator is designed to support collagen production in areas where soft volume, firmness or contour refinement may be needed.

Step 4

Post-Treatment Guidance

Mild swelling, redness, tenderness or bruising at the injection sites may occur and usually settles within a few days. Your doctor will provide personalised aftercare instructions based on your treatment areas and skin response. You may also be advised to avoid prolonged sun exposure, intense heat, alcohol and vigorous exercise for the first 24 to 48 hours after treatment.

How Soon Will I See Results?

Onset and Duration of Results

Loviselle works gradually by supporting your skin’s natural collagen production. Temporary fullness may be seen immediately after treatment, but this usually settles within a few days.

The actual results develop over time, with firmer skin, softer contours and subtle volume support becoming more noticeable over the following weeks to months.

The Loviselle Timeline: What to Expect and When

Temporary fullness may appear immediately after treatment and usually settles within a few days.

Early collagen-related changes may become more noticeable from around 4 to 6 weeks, with continued improvement over the next few months.

Continued Collagen Support

PLLA microparticles help stimulate fibroblast activity, which supports collagen production beneath the skin.

As collagen develops, treated areas may appear firmer, smoother and more softly supported.

How Long Do Results Last?

With proper treatment planning and completion of a suitable course, Loviselle results are commonly described as lasting over 30 months.

*Results vary between individuals and depend on skin condition, treatment areas, lifestyle and collagen response.

Recommended Treatment Frequency

Loviselle is usually planned as a course rather than a one-time treatment.

As a general guide, 3 to 4 sessions may be recommended, depending on your skin condition, degree of volume change, treatment areas and desired outcome. Your doctor will advise the most suitable plan after assessment.
