Juvelook: The Long-Term Benefits of PDLLA for Skin Health and Collagen Production

Juvelook Singapore

Poly-D, L-Lactic Acid or PDLLA for short, is a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer extracted from 100% pure nature and has been approved by the FDA to be used in the human body. It’s commonly used in medical and cosmetic treatments.

In aesthetic medicine, PDLLA is best known for being a key ingredient in the Juvelook injectable treatments. Unlike traditional fillers that add volume immediately, PDLLA works by stimulating your body to produce more collagen, which is the protein responsible for keeping your skin firm, smooth, and youthful.

PDLLA is commonly used for aging conditions such as:

Reducing wrinkles: Perfect for deep lines like nasolabial folds or marionette lines.
Restoring volume: Adds volume to areas like the cheeks, temples, and jawline that tend to lose structure with age.
Tightening loose skin: A great option for non-surgical skin lifting.
Improving scars: Helps smooth out acne scars or other uneven skin textures.

Why is Collagen Important?

Collagen is like the scaffolding that holds your skin up—it keeps it firm, plump, and elastic. When you’re young, your skin is loaded with collagen, which is why it looks so smooth and bouncy. But as you age, your body’s ability to produce collagen starts to slow down.

By your 30s, you’re losing about 1% of your collagen every year. On top of that, things like sun exposure, pollution, and stress can speed up this process. This loss of collagen is why wrinkles, sagging skin, and dullness start to appear over time.

PDLLA tackles this issue by not just filling in the gaps, but by encouraging your skin to rebuild its collagen supply.

Immediate Benefits

The usual procedure involves injecting PDLLA directly into the dermis area to stimulate collagen production for months after your treatment. Here’s how it works:

1. Immediate Lifting Effects

When injected, PDLLA creates an instant lifting or volumizing effect. This is mostly due to the liquid carrier in the injection, which is absorbed by your body within a few days.

2. Kick Starts Collagen Stimulation

Over the next few weeks, as your body processes the PDLLA particles, they stimulate skin cells called fibroblasts to start producing collagen. This new collagen gradually restores structure, firmness, and elasticity to your skin.

3. Biodegradable and Safe

PDLLA breaks down naturally into lactic acid, which your body safely metabolises and eliminates over time. This means the treatment is not only effective but also safe for long-term use.

What Are the Long-Term Benefits of PDLLA for Skin?

PDLLA isn’t just a quick fix but it continues to benefit the skin for months to come.

1. Long-Lasting Collagen Production

PDLLA helps your skin produce collagen for months after the treatment. This means that even after the PDLLA particles are gone, your skin continues to benefit from the newly formed collagen. The result? Firmer, smoother, and younger-looking skin that lasts up to two years or more.

2. Improved Skin Texture

By encouraging collagen growth, PDLLA can improve the overall texture of your skin. It’s particularly helpful for people dealing with:
– Acne scars.
– Uneven skin tone.
– Fine lines and wrinkles.

3. Natural, Gradual Results

One of the best things about PDLLA is how natural it looks. Unlike some treatments that can leave you with an overly “done” appearance, PDLLA works gradually. Over the course of several weeks, you’ll notice your skin becoming smoother and more lifted, but the changes will feel subtle and natural.

4. Long-Term Anti-Aging Effects

PDLLA not only addresses existing signs of aging but also helps to slow down the aging process. By strengthening your skin’s foundation with more collagen, it makes your skin more resilient to future damage.

5. Lasting Results

While most traditional fillers last 6 to 12 months, PDLLA treatments can last up to two years or more. This makes it an excellent option for people looking for a treatment that delivers lasting value.

How to Maximise the Benefits of PDLLA

Here are some tips to ensure you get the most out of your PDLLA treatment:

1. Follow Aftercare Instructions: Your provider will give you guidelines to help reduce side effects and promote healing.
2. Protect Your Skin: Use sunscreen daily to prevent UV damage, which can counteract the collagen-boosting effects of PDLLA.
3. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: Staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking will all support your skin’s health.
4. Consider Maintenance Treatments: While PDLLA offers long-lasting results, touch-ups every 1-2 years can help maintain your skin’s collagen levels.
