Poly-L-Lactic Acid Injections
Poly-L-lactic Acid Injections are a cosmetic sculpting agent that create long-lasting, natural-looking results. They correct facial skin imperfections and replace lost volume caused by natural aging, wrinkles and loose skin. Poly-L-lactic Acid Injections can be injected into several areas of the face to provide a gradual increase in skin thickness. They naturally stimulate the body to produce its own collagen, resulting in a more youthful appearance that lasts over 2 years
