Olidia (150 mg PLLA)

Main characteristics

The development of cosmetic products at PRP Life Science Co. is carried out by professional dermatologists with a broad knowledge in the field of modern methods of rejuvenation. The manufacturer produces cosmeceuticals for professional and home use - serums, masks, regenerating creams. The Olidia polylactic filler has been produced by this company since 2020.

The active component of the biodegradable filler is poly-L-lactic acid, a synthetic polymer consisting of microparticles with diameters ranging from 40 to 63 microns. Such particles are large enough to be absorbed by dermal macrophages, but their size is small enough for intradermal injection with needles and cannulas.

PLLA is chemically and physically identical to polylactic acid (PLA) produced by the human body. The polymer stimulates the production of natural hyaluronic acid and collagen and is used in surgery. In the case of contour plastics, the voids in the tissue are first filled with gel, and then the preparation continues to work through cell regeneration and the growth of collagen fibers.

On our marketplace you can buy Olidia filler in glass vials, which contain 365 mg of bioactive substance. This volume includes 150 mg of PLLA, 125 mg of mannitol, 90 mg of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.

Procedure protocol

The injections are done after cleansing the skin from cosmetics, dirt, sebum and disinfecting the surface of the epidermis. To reduce painful sensations, it is recommended to use a local application of anesthesia.

After injections, a light facial massage is given for 2-3 minutes. For maximum effect, it is recommended to have 3 treatments at one-month intervals.

Result of application

The effect of contour plastics appears immediately after the procedure. After 1-2 weeks there is a slight reduction in volume. The final result of the introduction of Olidia filler can be seen after 4-8 weeks.
