Overview
Stimulate your own collagen for long-lasting volume and firmness
Lanluma is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator that works differently from conventional hyaluronic acid fillers. Rather than adding volume directly, it stimulates the body's own collagen production deep within the tissues, gradually restoring firmness, elasticity and smoothness from within.
PLLA has a well-established safety record, having been used in medicine for decades in applications such as dissolvable surgical sutures. As a cosmetic injectable, it is injected using a fine needle or cannula and the collagen it stimulates builds over several weeks, creating a natural, progressive improvement.
Results from Lanluma can last considerably longer than standard fillers, with most patients enjoying a sustained improvement for one to two years. Because the treatment works gradually, it is important to understand that the full effect is seen four to six weeks after each session, and multiple sessions are usually recommended.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
How is Lanluma different from a dermal filler?
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which add volume directly, Lanluma stimulates your own collagen production. The improvement builds gradually over several weeks and typically lasts much longer than standard fillers.
When will I see the results?
Immediately after treatment there is a temporary improvement from the water in the solution, but this subsides within a few weeks. The lasting result, driven by new collagen, develops fully around four to six weeks after each session.
How many sessions do I need?
Most patients benefit from two to three sessions. Your practitioner will advise the right number based on the areas being treated and the correction desired.
Is Lanluma safe?
Yes. Poly-L-lactic acid is a biocompatible, biodegradable material that has been used safely in medicine for decades. It has a well-established record in aesthetic medicine as a collagen stimulator.
Can Lanluma treat scars?
Lanluma has been used to reduce the appearance of depressed scars by stimulating collagen in the surrounding tissue. Your suitability for this application can be discussed at consultation.
How much does Lanluma cost?
Pricing depends on the treatment and what is agreed for you and is confirmed in writing at your consultation, with no obligation to proceed.
