Lanluma is a revolutionary biocompatible and biodegradable injectable polymer. Its formula is predominately Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) which differs from typical Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers insofar as PLLA doesn’t just ‘fill’; its proven formula boosts your body’s own natural collagen production process. This means that the effects of Lanluma last much longer than typical HA fillers which are broken down and metabolised by the body after a period of a few months.

PLLA is highly safe and effective and has been used in the medical field for decades in dissolvable sutures and scarring treatments. PLLA stimulates collagen synthesis leading to gradual volume replacement. Having been injected, PLLA triggers a localised inflammatory reaction in the tissue. It is this inflammatory reaction which promotes the formation of collagen by increasing fibroblast activity in the treatment area. As such, the result achieved by PLLA injectables is not due to the product itself but the natural process of collagenesis.

When injected into the face, Lanluma is a fantastic treatment for sagging skin and filling medium to deep facial lines. It can also be used to add volume in the mid-face, contour jowls and create a more youthful appearance.
Lanluma is also used in the Arm Rejuvenation and the Buttock Boost treatments.

First, the area to be treated is sterilised then, your doctor will inject Lanluma under your skin into the treatment area using a cannula.

Depending on the level of rejuvenation required and your body’s reaction to the injectable, you may require 1 to 3 sessions carried out over a period of a few months to achieve the desired results.

Each session lasts around half an hour and the initial effects of the treatment will show in the months afterwards as your natural collagen develops.

Lanluma is injected using a very fine needle, causing minimal discomfort. Anaesthetic numbing cream is available for patients who request it.

Downtime is minimal, with most patients able to return to their daily activities immediately after treatment.

Typical side-effects of the treatment include minor swelling and bruising which should resolve of their own accord. For 24 hours following treatment it is recommended that you avoid strenuous exercise, UV exposure, saunas as well as alcohol.

Before and after the procedure, your doctor will clearly explain any aftercare instructions to you.

Generally, aftercare is minimal consisting of a regular massage routine to ensure the best results. It is recommended that you massage the treatment area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, until two weeks after your last session.

There will be an initial increase in volume in the treatment area due to the injection of the Lanluma solution, however this will subside within days as the water is absorbed. A period of a few weeks will elapse before results of the treatment begin to be observable, transforming the treatment area as natural collagen builds and grows. The full results of the treatment will appear gradually over a 2-to-3-month period as you proceed with your
planned treatment programme.
