PLLA Collagen Booster
A poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) injectable biostimulator that gradually rebuilds lost collagen to restore facial volume and improve skin quality. Results develop progressively over weeks and can last up to two years. Administered by MOH-licensed doctors at our Orchard and Tampines clinics.
A biostimulator, not a filler.
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is an injectable biostimulator: instead of adding instant volume, its microparticles form a scaffold that prompts your fibroblasts to make new collagen. Volume is built by your own tissue, gradually, over weeks to months.
That’s the key difference from HA filler, which occupies space immediately. PLLA develops slowly but lasts longer — typically 18–24 months with a full plan — and looks natural because it mirrors normal tissue structure. It suits volume loss in the cheeks, temples and mid-face and general laxity.
What to expect in a session.
After numbing cream, PLLA is reconstituted and injected by needle or cannula at multiple points for even spread; treatment takes 30–45 minutes. Swelling from the fluid is expected immediately and subsides over a day or two — it doesn’t reflect the final result.
Gentle massage of the treated areas in the following days, as your doctor instructs, helps even distribution.
PLLA Collagen Booster FAQ
What is PLLA Collagen Booster?
PLLA Collagen Booster is an injectable treatment that contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance that has been used in medical applications for many years. Instead of acting as a filler that provides immediate volume, PLLA Collagen Booster works gradually to stimulate your body's own collagen production, helping to improve skin structure and firmness over time. Treatments are performed only by qualified medical professionals in Singapore.
What concerns is PLLA Collagen Booster specifically suited for?
PLLA is primarily indicated for diffuse facial volume loss — the flattening of the cheeks, temples and mid-face that occurs as the deeper fat compartments shrink with age. Because PLLA stimulates new collagen broadly across the injection zone rather than adding localised volume, it is well suited for patients with widespread hollowing rather than a single defined area requiring structural reshaping. It also improves skin thickness and firmness across the treated zone over time. Patients who prefer a gradual, natural-looking restoration that builds progressively over months — without the immediate "filler look" — often find PLLA better suited to their goals than HA volumisers.
How many sessions are usually recommended?
Most patients require two to three treatment sessions, spaced about four to six weeks apart. The exact number of sessions depends on your skin condition, degree of volume loss, and treatment goals. Our doctors will advise you accordingly.
How long do the results last?
PLLA Collagen Booster works gradually by stimulating collagen, so results are not immediate. Improvements usually become noticeable within a few months and may last up to two years with a full treatment plan. Maintenance sessions may be recommended.
Is there downtime after treatment?
As with any injectable, you may experience temporary side effects such as mild swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites. These typically subside within a few days. Most patients are able to resume normal daily activities soon after treatment.
Who is suitable for PLLA Collagen Booster?
It may be suitable for adults with age-related volume loss or reduced skin elasticity. It may not be recommended for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have certain medical conditions, or have a history of keloid scarring. A medical consultation is necessary before treatment.
Is PLLA Collagen Booster a filler?
No, PLLA Collagen Booster is not classified as a traditional dermal filler. Instead, it is a biostimulator that encourages your body to rebuild collagen, improving skin firmness and restoring volume gradually.
