Collagen loss begins earlier than many people realise, with signs often appearing first on the face. Your skin may start to feel thinner, looser, or less elastic over time. At Bioskin Luxe Aesthetic Clinic, we use collagen filler injections to address these changes at their source, helping restore support from within.
| Filler Type | Mechanism | Effect | Maintenance | Longevity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) | Deep collagen stimulation | Gradual volume restoration with long-term skin firming. | Typically delivered over two to three sessions, with maintenance reviewed based on collagen response. | 18-24 months |
| Poly-D, L-Lactic Acid (PDLLA) | Moderate stimulation + early volume | Helps rebuild collagen with an initial lift. | Usually requires fewer sessions, with maintenance reviewed annually or as volume changes over time. | 12-18 months |
| Polycaprolactone (PCL) | Volume + stimulation | Offers visible contouring and firming, with progressive collagen production. | Often completed in one session, with maintenance reviewed as results gradually soften. | 18-24 months |
| Filler Type | Downtime | Visible Results | Aftercare Tips |
|---|---|---|---|
| PLLA | Mild swelling or bruising for one to three days. | Gradual improvement over 6 to 12 weeks. | Avoid facial massage, strenuous activity, and alcohol for 24 hours. |
| PDLLA | Mild swelling, occasional redness. | Early volume may be visible within days. Full results develop over four to eight weeks. |
Apply cold compresses if needed. Sleep with your head elevated for the first night to support recovery. |
| PCL | Slight swelling, possible tenderness. | Visible lift with gradual improvement over one to two months. | Stay hydrated and use sunscreen daily. Follow any custom aftercare instructions from your specialist. |
