What Is Polylactic Acid And How Does It Work?

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a modern, biocompatible substance derived from plant-based sugars. Its unique properties have earned it a strong position in both medical and aesthetic applications.

In aesthetic medicine, polylactic acid is known as an active ingredient in fillers such as Sculptra, AestheFill, and Gana. It has been used since 1999 to strengthen the skin’s structural framework and restore lost volume.

Unlike hyaluronic acid, which provides temporary volume by simply filling the area, polylactic acid stimulates the skin’s own fibroblast cells to produce new collagen, particularly types I and III. As a result, the skin gradually rejuvenates in a natural and long-lasting way. The effects develop over time and can last up to two years.

Polylactic acid–based fillers work gradually and results develop over several months. This slow progression is what makes the outcome look so natural: the skin appears fresher, and its structure improves from within. These products are not just about "filling" the face, but about supporting the skin’s own structure and function.

Polylactic acid breaks down slowly in the body into lactic acid, which is then naturally metabolized into carbon dioxide and water. The process is completely natural, safe, and non-toxic, while giving the skin renewed radiance, clarity, and vitality.

Polylactic acid is also widely used beyond aesthetic medicine. In dermatology, it is utilized to treat conditions such as fat distribution irregularities (lipodystrophy), stretch marks, and acne scars. Additionally, it is used in surgery, dentistry, and tissue engineering as a scaffold for growing new tissue.


AestheFill – Collagen Stimulation And Volume Restoration With Polylactic Acid

AestheFill is an injectable treatment based on polylactic acid (Poly-D,L-lactic acid, PDLLA), formulated as micro-particles suspended in a sterile water-based solution. It contains no preservatives or anesthetics. The product is designed to gradually and long-lastingly restore soft tissue volume, strengthen the dermis, and provide a lifting effect.

As a biostimulator, it is particularly well-suited for areas where swelling is undesirable.

What is AestheFill Treatment?

AestheFill is a lifting treatment that helps the skin regenerate naturally from within. Visible results can often be seen after just one session. Many people choose this treatment because it enhances facial features, restores facial contours, and delivers long-lasting results.

Benefits of AestheFill:

  • Stimulates the skin’s natural collagen production
  • Triggers the skin’s internal rejuvenation processes
  • Firms and tightens sagging skin
  • Lifts problem areas, especially the chin, neck, and decolletage
  • Improves skin texture, refines pores, and smooths uneven skin surface

AestheFill works within the dermal matrix, renewing the skin from the inside out. When applied correctly and with proper aftercare, the risk of side effects is minimal. We use a blunt-tip cannula technique to ensure even distribution of the product and provide detailed guidance for home massage to help prevent the formation of nodules.

At lower concentrations, AestheFill can be used as a filler to refine the contours of the nose and chin. At higher concentrations, it functions as a skin booster, enhancing skin quality.

Who Is AestheFill Suitable For?

AestheFill is recommended for individuals who wish to address the following aesthetic concerns:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles on the face, neck, and decolletage
  • Sagging skin on the arms, abdomen, and knees
  • Loss of skin firmness and elasticity
  • Nasolabial folds
  • Wrinkles around the eyes
  • Venus rings
  • Drooping facial contours
  • Volume loss in the cheeks, temples, and under-eye area
  • Atrophic and post-acne scars
  • Loose skin following significant weight loss

Which Areas Can Be Treated With AestheFill?

Face, neck, decolletage, inner arms and thighs, abdomen, and buttocks.

How Many PLA Treatments Are Needed?

For optimal results, a course of 1 to 3 sessions is typically recommended, with 6–8 weeks between treatments. However, the exact number of sessions will be determined individually by the aesthetic doctor after a consultation.

Who Should Avoid PLA Treatments?

  • PLA treatment is not recommended for:
  • Individuals under the age of 18
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women
  • Those with hypersensitivity to any component of the product

  • Patients with uncontrolled diabetes or chronic illnesses in an active phase

What Is The Difference Between AestheFill And Sculptra?

AestheFill and Sculptra are both injectable treatments designed for volumetric rejuvenation and collagen stimulation, but they differ in several key aspects:

  • Sculptra primarily contains type I collagen and provides visible volume enhancement.
  • AestheFill contains both type I and type III collagen, resulting in a softer and more natural-looking outcome.

What Reactions Are Possible After A Polylactic Acid Treatment?

As with all injectable treatments, some normal and temporary reactions may occur:

  • Mild swelling (usually resolves within 2–5 days)
  • Redness
  • Tenderness
  • Minor bruising
  • Occasionally, small temporary lumps that typically disappear on their own

Why Is Massage Necessary After Polylactic Acid Injections?

Massage helps the product distribute evenly and prevents the formation of nodules. At-home self-massage is an important part of the treatment: 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 consecutive days. It is essential to always follow your doctor's instructions.

When Will The First Results Be Visible?

Initial results typically become noticeable after about 1.5 months, with full results appearing 2–3 months after the final session. The effects can last up to 2 years, depending on the individual’s skin characteristics and lifestyle.

Can AestheFill Be Combined With Other Treatments?

Yes. AestheFill works very well in combination with Botox, Exion Face, Emface, thread lifts, and biorevitalization.

Are There Any Post-Treatment Restrictions?

No special aftercare is required, but it is important to follow these guidelines:

  • Avoid touching the injection sites for the first 24 hours.
  • Do not apply makeup for 24 hours after the treatment.
  • Avoid saunas, tanning beds, swimming pools, and extreme temperature changes for a few days.
  • Avoid intense exercise and alcohol consumption for a few days.

For your safety and the best possible results, we strictly follow proper injection techniques and maintain fully sterile conditions. We use only authentic, EU-certified AestheFill that has passed comprehensive quality and safety testing.

At our clinic, your skin is carefully assessed, and a personalized treatment plan is created by a licensed aesthetic doctor with proven experience in polylactic acid treatments.
