Clinical recommendations for the combined use of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA- SCA) and energy-based devices: expert opinion and literature review

The clinical use of combined technologies has been increasing to address the effects of skin aging on the face and other areas of the body. Poly-L-lactic acid is a biocompatible, semipermanent synthetic filler used for volume enhancement through neocollagenesis induction by fibroblast activation. Si...

description The clinical use of combined technologies has been increasing to address the effects of skin aging on the face and other areas of the body. Poly-L-lactic acid is a biocompatible, semipermanent synthetic filler used for volume enhancement through neocollagenesis induction by fibroblast activation. Similarly, energy-based technologies, such as high-intensity focused ultrasound and microneedling radiofrequency devices, promote fat reduction and collagen contraction by heating the deep dermis. This article presents expert panel recommendations and a literature review on the topic.
