9.4.1.3 Poly(lactic acid)(PLA)

PLA is a volume stimulant,instead of a direct filler.Unlike HA,one of the advantages of PLA is to stimulate the production of collagen to maintain the anti-wrinkle effect for a long time.However,the injection of PLA may produce subcutaneous papules,which requires a small amount of multiple injections.The frequently injected area is the cheek,chin,temple,etc.and fan-shaped injection is conducted in this area.Yet,it is impossible to predict the possible effect since it is not a filling material,so the amount of injection needs to be controlled.(https://www.daowen.com)
