As we age, the reason our skin becomes thinner, loses elasticity, and takes on a dull, rough appearance is that collagen in the dermis, which supports the skin, decreases.
Collagen is a key protein that maintains skin thickness, density, elasticity, and the overall skin structure.
However, from the mid-20s, the rate at which collagen breaks down in our body begins to exceed the rate at which it is produced.

As a result, the foundation supporting the skin weakens, and aging begins to progress.
In addition, external stimuli such as ultraviolet rays, air pollution, and stress further accelerate the aging process.
Problems caused by collagen loss within the dermis are difficult to reverse with methods that stay on the surface of the skin, such as cosmetics or supplements, or with approaches that act throughout the body.
A method is needed that directly reaches deep into the skin and stimulates its ability to recover on its own.
A procedure based on this principle is the skin booster, or collagen booster.
It is a procedure that acts subcutaneously and uses the skin’s natural regeneration mechanism to encourage the skin to produce collagen on its own.

Collagen Booster PDLLA
PDLLA is an ingredient with the property of being safely broken down in the body.
When injected into the skin, it slowly breaks down over a certain period of time and stimulates fibroblasts within the skin.
This stimulation induces a biological response similar to the skin forming new tissue, naturally promoting collagen production.
The important point is that PDLLA does not simply “fill in” collagen, but rather encourages the skin to “make” collagen on its own.
Thanks to this, the results after the procedure are not temporary and can continue over the long term.

In fact, about 2 to 4 weeks after the procedure, collagen production begins in earnest, and over several months the skin density and elasticity gradually recover.
PDLLA collagen boosters also often contain hyaluronic acid.
This adds moisture and volume to the skin immediately after the procedure.
In other words, you can aim for both immediate hydration and long-term improvement in elasticity at the same time.

PDLLA Microbead Particles
The particles of PDLLA are designed to be very fine, round, and uniform.
This structural feature is very helpful in allowing even distribution while minimizing irritation to the skin.
By contrast, the particles of PLLA, which is known as part of the same family and is the main ingredient in Sculptra, are pointed in shape.
Because it tends to irritate the skin more strongly, it is injected deeper to induce a response.
If the procedure is not performed precisely, the likelihood of side effects such as nodules or a foreign-body sensation may also increase.
PDLLA, in microbead form, can be used relatively safely even on sensitive skin or in relatively thin areas.
It is a balanced ingredient that stimulates the skin while minimizing irritation.

Collagen Procedure Precautions
If you think of a collagen procedure simply as an injection for a more youthful-looking face, the result is also likely to fall short of expectations.
This is because it does not provide immediate volume right after the procedure, but instead works by inducing the skin to create new collagen from within.
As a result, the skin gradually becomes thicker, elasticity is restored, and the overall skin texture stabilizes, leading to a more defined and healthier facial appearance,
but it takes some time before those results can be seen.
Also, even on the same face, each area has different structural characteristics, and the skin thickness, fat volume, and degree of movement all vary.
Because of this, it is difficult to perform the procedure in a mechanical, one-size-fits-all manner.
Therefore, if you are considering a PDLLA procedure, you should receive treatment from medical staff with extensive clinical experience and a high level of knowledge of human anatomy, so they can take into account skin thickness, fat volume, and the degree of movement.

Among collagen procedures, PDLLA works by stimulating collagen-producing cells deep within the skin to encourage the skin to recover on its own.
Rather than being a temporary approach that merely fills in the surface and creates change, it is a procedure that improves the skin itself, so it is especially recommended for those who want to improve skin elasticity over the long term.
However, rather than deciding based only on the product name or treatment reviews, we recommend choosing the product that is right for you based on a thorough diagnosis and sufficient consultation.
