PLLA threads are one of the most misunderstood treatments we offer.
They’re often referred to as a “non-surgical facelift,” but most people still have a lot of questions about what they do, how they work, and what kind of results to expect.
Here are 5 of the questions we hear most often 👇
1. Are PLLA threads the same as a ?
Not exactly. They can create a lifted, tighter look, but they are not the same as surgery. Think more “non-surgical lift” than surgical facelift.
2. What do PLLA threads actually do?
They help tighten and support the skin while stimulating collagen over time.
3. Is PLLA the same thing in ?
Yes! PLLA is the same -stimulating ingredient found in Sculptra.
4. When will I see results?
You may notice some improvement right away, but collagen-building results continue to improve over the following weeks and months.
5. How long do results last?
Results vary, but many clients enjoy improvement for 12–18 months depending on the area treated, your skin, and your treatment plan.
