Lanluma: Poly-L-Lactic Acid for the Face and Body

Lanluma is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator that shares its core chemistry with Sculptra but is presented in two clearly delineated versions — one optimised for the face, one for the body.

What Lanluma Is

Like all PLLA products, Lanluma is a collagen stimulator, not a filler: it is reconstituted and injected, then gradually resorbed, prompting the patient's fibroblasts to build new collagen over the following months. The immediate appearance after treatment is largely the carrier fluid; the true result develops over time.

V for Face, X for Body

The two presentations differ in the scale of the area they are designed to treat:

• Lanluma V — the facial presentation, for global facial rejuvenation, restoring diffuse volume and improving skin quality across the face.
• Lanluma X — the body presentation, formulated for larger areas. It is used for body concerns such as cellulite, skin laxity and volume loss in regions like the buttocks and thighs, where a larger quantity of stimulator is needed.

This face/body split makes Lanluma a flexible choice for practitioners offering both facial regeneration and body contouring through collagen stimulation.

Treatment Course

As with other PLLA products, Lanluma is delivered as a course — commonly two to three sessions spaced several weeks apart — with results building gradually over the following months and generally described as long-lasting after a completed course. Body treatment typically uses larger volumes than facial work, reflecting the areas involved.

Aftercare and Safety

Transient redness, swelling and bruising are common and short-lived. As with all PLLA, correct reconstitution, even placement and post-treatment massage are part of minimising the risk of papules or nodules. Standard exclusions apply: hypersensitivity, pregnancy and lactation, active infection or inflammation at the site, and bleeding disorders.

The Takeaway

Lanluma brings PLLA collagen stimulation to both the face (V) and the body (X), making it a versatile option for practitioners who want one chemistry across facial rejuvenation and body contouring. Explore the collagen-stimulator range, or read the biostimulators overview.
