What is the polylactic acid (PLLA) treatment?

Polylactic acid is a collagen biostimulator: a biocompatible and resorbable substance that, once injected, stimulates the body to produce its own new collagen over months. The result is a gradual, natural and long-lasting improvement in the firmness, structural volume and quality of the skin on the face, neck, décolleté, arms or buttocks.

What does the polylactic acid treatment involve?

The treatment is carried out entirely at the medical consultation of the Instituto de Benito in Barcelona or Madrid, in an outpatient session always designed and performed by a licensed aesthetic doctor. It consists of the following steps:

01

Personalised medical assessment:

valoracion personalizada

Before the treatment, an assessment is conducted with the aesthetic doctor at the Instituto de Benito. They study your case, listen to your goals, rule out contraindications, and design a personalised plan. The first aesthetic medical visit costs €50 (deductible from the first treatment).

02

Advanced skin analysis with NESAI:

ecografia

A technology based on high-resolution medical ultrasound that allows for an in-depth study of the skin and tissues.

03

Preparation for the treatment:

preparación intervencion

The preparation is simple: the area must be clean and free of creams. The doctor will advise if it is necessary to avoid any medication (anticoagulants, NSAIDs) in the days prior to minimise bruising, and discuss any relevant circumstances for your safety.

04

Application of the treatment in consultation

Poniendose hilos tensores

The doctor disinfects the area, applies topical anaesthesia if necessary, and performs the microinjections with very fine needles, following the designed plan. The session is conducted entirely in consultation and the patient resumes their routine immediately.

05

Start looking how you want to feel

verte como quieres sentirte

The results appear within the expected timeframe for the treatment, with a natural and harmonious finish. The doctor provides you with home care instructions and schedules follow-up appointments.

Pre and post-treatment of polylactic acid

Before the treatment

Mild swelling, possible bruising, and sometimes transient nodules during the first 48-72 hours. It is KEY to perform the home massage as instructed by the doctor (5 minutes, 5 times a day for 5 days) to distribute the product evenly and minimise nodules. The result is progressive over 2-3 months.

Additional specific instructions: Mild swelling or bruising 24-72 hours. Massage as per medical instruction.

Pre and post-treatment of <em>polylactic acid</em>

After the treatment

Attend with a clean face or body area. Avoid NSAIDs in the days prior. Good hydration: polylactic acid requires water to activate properly.

Our medical group facial aesthetic medicine

An aesthetic doctor from the Instituto de Benito team assesses the loss of structural volume and decides whether the indication is polylactic acid, high-density hyaluronic acid, or a combination with other treatments.

Commitment to facial aesthetic medicine

Polylactic acid is a biostimulator with a progressive response over months; at Intituto de Benito we prescribe it only when the indication is clear (moderate-significant structural loss), never as a light touch-up.

Patient safety comes before any aesthetic objective. We work with audited clinical protocols, medical CE-marked healthcare products and batch traceability, single-use instruments, dedicated aesthetic medicine rooms and personalised follow-up between sessions. We never delegate a medical-aesthetic procedure to non-medical personnel.

Medical evidence and support

Polylactic acid has a medical CE mark as a healthcare product and is recognised by the Spanish Society of Aesthetic Medicine (SEME) as one of the biostimulators with the longest documented duration (18-24 months) in the medical-aesthetic literature. It is a biocompatible and resorbable material used for decades in surgery (resorbable sutures), with a very well-characterised safety profile.

Frequently asked questions about polylactic acid

What is polylactic acid?

It is a biocompatible and resorbable collagen biostimulator that, once injected, stimulates the body to produce its own collagen over months.

How long do the results last?

Between 18 and 24 months, making it one of the most long-lasting biostimulators.

How much does it cost?

Facial presentation €450. Body presentation (extensive areas) €900. Locations in Barcelona and Madrid.

When will I see results?

Improvement is progressive over 2-3 months after each session. Optimal result upon completing the plan, lasting 18-24 months.

Why is it necessary to massage the area?

Massage as per medical indication helps in the even distribution of the product and minimises the risk of nodules.

Are there different presentations?

Yes. A facial presentation with a dose adapted to the face and a body presentation with a larger volume for extensive areas such as the décolletage, arms or buttocks.

Difference between polylactic acid and hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid: volumetric filler, immediate effect, lasts 12-18 months, reversible with hyaluronidase. Polylactic acid: biostimulator, generates your own collagen, progressive result in 2-3 months, lasts 18-24 months, not reversible. Polylactic acid is ideal when seeking a natural and long-lasting result; hyaluronic when you want to see the change on the same day.

Why is it necessary to massage the area?

Massaging according to medical guidelines helps achieve an even distribution of the product and minimises the risk of visible nodules. SEME emphasises that adhering to home massage is key to the success of the treatment. Without massage, there is an increased risk of irregularities.

Are there different presentations?

Yes, two: a facial presentation with a dose adapted for the face (€450 per session IdB) and a body presentation with a larger volume for extensive areas such as the décolleté, arms or buttocks (€900). The doctor decides according to the area.

When will I see the full result?

Progressive improvement over 2-3 months after each session. Optimal result upon completing the plan (2-3 sessions), lasting 18-24 months. It is the medical-aesthetic treatment with the most gradual effect: if you expect results on the same day, this is not your treatment.

In which cases is it not the best option?

In patients with very thin or very delicate skin, in skin prone to keloids (scarring risk), or when an immediate result is needed (wedding, event). Also not in areas with very active musculature where the product may shift.
