PLLA-SCA Collagen Stimulator Fights Premature Aging with Natural Collagen Production

As the body ages, skin naturally loses collagen and elastin, its key structural components, leading to sagging and wrinkles. Environmental factors such as UV radiation and pollution further accelerate this process, with high UV exposure identified as the primary aging culprit. Dr. Catherine Soebroto, a collagen stimulator expert from dr. BELLE Aesthetic Clinic, explains that reduced collagen makes skin thinner, causing it to droop and appear less firm.

High UV exposure is the number one cause of aging.

"Theoretically, collagen decreases by 10 percent every decade," Dr. Catherine noted during a press conference in Jakarta, jointly organized by dr. BELLE Aesthetic Clinic and Galderma. She added that a simple "pinch test" on the cheek can indicate skin aging severity; skin that stretches significantly when pulled suggests it has become very thin. Young, healthy skin is typically thick, firm, elastic, and smooth. While people of Asian descent tend to have thicker skin, making them more prone to sagging and a "heavy jaw" appearance with age compared to Caucasians, who often develop more wrinkles due to thinner skin, both types of aging can be addressed.

Fortunately, aging skin does not necessitate passive acceptance. Facial rejuvenation treatments, including non-surgical options, can restore a more youthful appearance with natural-looking results. One such innovative treatment is the PLLA-SCA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid Skin Collagen Activator) injection, a biostimulator designed to enhance the skin's natural collagen production. "This is a collagen stimulator that works by stimulating type I and III collagen, making the skin layer thicker and lifted. Internationally, people love biostimulators because the results are natural," explained Dr. Catherine.

If the skin can be pulled out very long, it is a sign that the skin is very thin.

Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide immediate, artificial volume, PLLA-SCA works gradually from within. It prompts the body's fibroblast cells to produce new, natural collagen. This process rebuilds the skin's structure, replenishes lost volume, diminishes wrinkles, and progressively tightens the face. Dr. Catherine anticipates that after three months, patients will observe lifted skin, reduced pigmentation, softened smile lines, a more elevated eye area, and a more defined jawline. PLLA-SCA, developed by Galderma, is recognized as a world-leading collagen stimulator, utilized by aesthetic doctors globally for over 25 years.
