Over the years, collagen production in the skin decreases, causing the skin to slacken, lose volume and droop. We can use fillers to restore volume. Often when using fillers, the face is mainly thought of, but fillers can be injected in more places in the body. Think, for example, of softening wrinkles at the knees and elbows, but also of lifting or enlarging the buttocks. The product we use for this is called Lanluma.
LANLUMA
Lanluma is a different type of filler than a filler based on hyaluronic acid. The substance poly-L-lactic acid, in Lanluma, gradually puts the body to work to produce collagen. This means that it takes a while until you see the result of your treatment, but your patience is rewarded – the result remains 3 to 5 years. What also makes Lanluma different from the fillers you are probably used to, is that Lanluma can be used very well for larger surfaces. For example, with Lanluma, we can fill your hip dips!
LANLUMA V, LANLUMA X & SCULPTRA
There are three different fillers based on the substance poly-L-lactic acid that are often used. Lanluma V is used for the face and Lanluma X is used for the body. Sculptra is the forerunner of Lanluma and you may encounter that name more often. Basically, it’s the same product. The advantage of Lanluma over Sculptra is that Lanluma comes in larger quantities and is therefore cheaper and more practical in using large skin surfaces.
