LANLUMA® (Poly-L-lactic acid) is a dermal filler used in aesthetic and dermatological procedures. It is a biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic polymer derived from lactic acid, a naturally occurring compound in the body. This injectable product is primarily utilized to treat facial wrinkles, especially for patients with facial lipoatrophy (loss of facial fat) due to conditions such as HIV-associated lipodystrophy or aging.

The mechanism of action involves stimulating collagen production in the skin, leading to gradual volume restoration and a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. LANLUMA® is considered a "collagen stimulator" as it encourages the body's own collagen-building process.

The treatment usually requires a series of sessions spaced over several months to achieve optimal results. During each session, a healthcare professional administers LANLUMA® injections into the targeted areas, and the patient will notice improvements as collagen levels increase over time.

While LANLUMA® is generally safe, some patients may experience mild side effects, such as redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. These effects are usually temporary and subside within a few days.

As with any medical procedure, it is essential to consult a qualified healthcare provider before undergoing LANLUMA® treatment. They can assess an individual's suitability for the procedure, discuss potential risks and benefits, and provide personalized recommendations based on the patient's specific needs and medical history.

Overall, LANLUMA® offers a non-surgical option for enhancing facial appearance by promoting natural collagen production and addressing facial volume loss and wrinkles.
