About
PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid) threads are a type of dissolvable suture used in aesthetic medicine for non-surgical facial lifting and skin rejuvenation. They are made from a biocompatible, biodegradable polymer derived from polylactic acid.
Key Features of PLLA Threads:
- Collagen Stimulation: PLLA threads promote collagen production, improving skin elasticity, texture, and firmness over time.
- Longevity: They have a slower absorption rate compared to PDO threads, typically lasting 12-36 months, resulting in longer-lasting results.
- Biocompatibility: Safe for use in the body, as they gradually break down into natural substances like carbon dioxide and water.
- Applications: Commonly used for lifting sagging skin, contouring the face, and addressing fine lines and wrinkles
PLLA thread is resorbable, and it regenerates collagen over a longer time than PDO threads. This type of thread increases the volume of saggy areas, thereby helping to restore shape to the facial area and providing a lift.
