AestheFill Collagen Stimulating Fillers

AestheFill is a collagen-stimulating filler which is made from poly-D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA). 

It is a highly effective in treating the common signs of ageing with long-lasting results that not only restore youthful volume but also stimulate your body’s own collagen production for a naturally radiant appearance.

AestheFill collagen stimulating fillers are effective for:

  • Volume Loss:
    Restore fullness in areas like cheeks, temples, and jawline.
  • Lines and Wrinkles:
    Including deeper wrinkles and folds, particularly around the mouth and nose.
  • Skin Laxity:
    Improvements in texture and elasticity provide a more youthful appearance.

What is PDLLA and How Does It Work?

Poly-D-L-lactic acid (PDLLA) is a synthetic, biodegradable polymer that has been employed in various medical applications, such as sutures and drug delivery systems, for decades. Its utility in aesthetic medicine arises from its unique capacity to stimulate collagen production, offering a restorative solution for aging skin. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which primarily provide immediate volume through hyaluronic acid, PDLLA works by initiating a biological process of regeneration that unfolds over several months.

When injected into the dermal or subdermal layers, PDLLA microparticles act as a scaffold, triggering a controlled inflammatory response. This response activates fibroblasts, the skin cells responsible for producing collagen. Over time, these fibroblasts generate new collagen fibres, restoring volume, improving skin elasticity, and smoothing out wrinkles. Importantly, PDLLA is gradually metabolised into lactic acid, a natural compound that is eliminated from the body. This biodegradability ensures that the treatment is safe and does not leave permanent residues in the tissues.

One of the defining features of PDLLA is its gradual onset of results. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which provide instant volume, the effects of PDLLA become evident over a series of weeks or months as collagen production increases. This progressive improvement allows for natural-looking results that enhance overall skin quality rather than merely addressing specific lines or folds.

In summary, AestheFill PDLLA works by being gradually broken down by your body, stimulating collagen production over time. This translates to a natural-looking improvement in skin texture, elasticity, and fullness.

Results typically last around 12-24 months.

There is minimal downtime after AestheFill treatment. Side-effects following treatment tend to be minor and short term. These could include: swelling, numbness due to anaesthetic, mild bruising

What aftercare is recommended?

Facial massage after treatment is very important and is required to stimulate the collagen. Massage must be carried out for 5 minutes, twice a day for 10 days and then once a day thereafter for 30 days.

When will I see results?

It can take several weeks to see the full effects as it takes time for your body to produce new collagen.

How long will it last?

Results can last up to 2 years, depending on the treatment area and individual factors.

Treatment can be repeated to maintain results before they fade away.

When can I apply makeup after AestheFill treatment

Make-up: can be applied 30 minutes after treatment, but if you are able to, it's nice to leave it a day for your skin to recover and injection marks to heal over.

Can I exercise following AestheFill treatment?

We recommend leaving it until the following day. This is to avoid your body overheating during the initial post-treatment period.
