PLLA Treatment Darlington

At HL Medical Aesthetics in Darlington, we offer PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid) treatments to naturally restore facial volume, improve skin quality, and stimulate long-term collagen production. Performed by our experienced practitioners, Hayley Lamb and Loren, PLLA is an advanced injectable treatment that gradually rejuvenates the skin from within, creating natural-looking, long-lasting results.

What Is PLLA?

PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid) is a collagen-stimulating injectable treatment that works differently from traditional dermal fillers. Rather than simply adding volume, PLLA encourages your body to produce its own collagen, helping to restore skin structure, firmness, and elasticity over time.

As collagen levels increase, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more youthful, with gradual improvements developing over several weeks and months. The results are subtle, natural, and long-lasting, making PLLA an excellent option for clients seeking overall facial rejuvenation rather than an overfilled appearance.

What Can PLLA Treat?

• Age-related facial volume loss
• Hollow cheeks and temples
• Skin laxity and loss of firmness
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Jawline definition
• Overall facial rejuvenation
• Crepey skin texture
• Collagen depletion associated with ageing

Why Choose HL Medical Aesthetics?

Our practitioners, Hayley Lamb and Loren, are fully trained and insured in advanced injectable treatments. Every PLLA treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your facial anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals.

We create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your individual needs, ensuring natural-looking results that enhance your features while supporting long-term skin health.

What to Expect

Your appointment begins with a full consultation and facial assessment. After cleansing the skin, the PLLA solution is carefully injected into targeted areas using advanced injection techniques designed to stimulate collagen production safely and effectively.

The treatment typically takes around 45–60 minutes. Mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising may occur immediately after treatment and usually settles within a few days.

Following treatment, you will be advised on a simple massage routine to help distribute the product evenly during the initial healing phase.

When Will I See Results?

Unlike traditional dermal fillers, PLLA works gradually. While you may notice some immediate fullness due to the treatment fluid, this settles within a few days.

Visible improvements begin to develop after approximately 6–8 weeks as your body produces new collagen, with optimal results usually seen after 3–6 months.

Results can last up to two years or longer, depending on your age, lifestyle, and natural collagen production.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PLLA treatment painful?

Most clients experience minimal discomfort. A local anaesthetic is mixed with the treatment solution to improve comfort during the procedure, and the injections are well tolerated.

Is there any downtime?

Downtime is minimal. Mild swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites is common and usually resolves within a few days. Most clients return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment.

How many treatments will I need?

Most clients benefit from a course of 2–3 treatment sessions, spaced approximately 6–8 weeks apart. The exact number of sessions will depend on your age, skin condition, and desired results. Your practitioner will recommend a personalised treatment plan during your consultation.

Am I suitable for PLLA?

PLLA is suitable for adults experiencing facial volume loss, skin laxity, or signs of collagen depletion who are looking for gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation. It may not be suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for those with certain medical conditions, or for individuals with active skin infections. A full consultation is required to determine your suitability.

Can PLLA be combined with other treatments?

Yes. PLLA works exceptionally well alongside anti-wrinkle treatments, dermal fillers, skin boosters, microneedling, HIFU, and medical-grade skincare as part of a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan tailored to your individual goals.
