Contemporary insights into the collagen-stimulating mechanism of polylactic acid: a new paradigm in dermal fillers using poly-L-lactic acid fillers
Alisa Sharova, Jaeyu Park, Kyeonghee Shim
Life Cycle 2024;4:10
https://doi.org/10.54724/lc.2024.e10
ABSTRACT
Regardless of variances in lifestyle and environment, the initial indications of facial aging typically manifest between the ages of 20 and 30 years. Collagen loss is the most significant factor in the emergence of external signs of skin aging. Polylactic acid (PLA) is a notable stimulant of neocollagenesis and has become widely used as an injectab...
