What Is Poly-L-Lactic Acid and How Does It Work?
Poly-L-Lactic Acid body rejuvenation isn’t a filler in the traditional sense. Instead of instantly plumping, it kickstarts your body’s own collagen factories.
- How it operates:
- PLLA microspheres are injected into the subdermal tissue.
- A mild, localised inflammatory response recruits macrophages.
- Over weeks to months, the microspheres biodegrade into water and carbon dioxide.
-
Collagen fibres deposit, improving skin thickness, firmness and texture.
-
Benefits you can expect:
- Natural-looking volumisation.
- Gradual improvement that avoids sudden “overfilled” looks.
- Long-lasting results—often maintained for up to two years.
- Minimal downtime and low complication rates when protocols are followed.
At Moon Lake Spa, our experts leverage their clinical experience to tailor the injection depth, dilution volume and session frequency to each body area. We also pair PLLA with our signature advanced PRP/PRF treatments to amplify regenerative effects—boosting vascular health and cell turnover alongside collagen renewal.
Evidence-Based Protocols for Key Body Areas
Extensive observational analyses and expert panels have outlined best practices for each zone. Below is our distilled guide, blending international consensus with Moon Lake Spa’s refined approach.
Neck and Décolletage
Skin here is thin, photodamaged and prone to crepiness.
- Recommended dilution: 150 mg PLLA in 8–17 mL total (including lidocaine).
- Needle: 25–27-gauge or blunt cannula.
- Sessions: 2–4, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
- Technique: Micro-bolus fan pattern across wrinkles.
- Post-treatment care: Immediate vigorous massage with soapy water to prevent nodules.
Results: A 6-month study reported 90% investigator improvement on the Fabi-Bolton scale, with no serious side effects. Our clients also rave about the smoother, lifted décolletage effect after their personalised treatment plan.
Buttocks Contouring and Cellulite
Your gluteal silhouette deserves more than just a facelift.
- Dilution: 150 mg in 16–17 mL + 2 mL 1% lidocaine.
- Instrument: 20–22-gauge cannula or 25-gauge needle.
- Vials per session: 2–6, depending on goals.
- Sessions: 2–3, 4–6 weeks apart.
- Distribution: 70% upper quadrant for lift; 30% lower for smoothing.
Clinical data shows up to a 40% reduction in depression depth (Hexsel CSS) and sustained GAIS improvements at 6 months. For subtle projection, our Moon Lake Spa experts may layer PRF under the PLLA grid—maximising skin texture and contour refinement.
Knees, Abdomen, Hands and Upper Arms
Every zone has nuances. Below you’ll find our concise protocols.
Knees
- Dilution: 150 mg in 16 mL (incl. 1 mL lidocaine).
- Sessions: 3, one vial per knee.
- Technique: Subdermal fanning just above the joint line.

Abdomen
- Dilution: 150 mg in 17 mL (incl. 1 mL lidocaine).
