A poly-L-lactic acid biostimulator that rebuilds structure from within, chosen by patients who want a gradual, unhurried restoration of volume and firmness.
Lanluma is a collagen-stimulating injectable treatment that works with the body’s own repair processes to gradually restore volume and improve skin firmness. Dr Ellie Sateei offers Lanluma at her London and Sevenoaks clinics as part of her considered, longer-term approach to facial rejuvenation.
Because Lanluma builds results gradually rather than instantly, it suits patients who value a natural, unhurried transformation over time.
Lanluma is a poly-L-lactic acid based injectable biostimulator. Once introduced into the skin, the microparticles gradually stimulate the body’s own fibroblasts to produce new collagen over the following weeks and months, helping to restore structural support and firmness from within.
This mechanism means Lanluma does not provide an instant volumising effect in the way a traditional filler does, but instead works progressively as the body responds to treatment.
Lanluma is commonly used to address facial volume loss, particularly in the cheeks, temples and jawline, where it can help restore a more supported, natural-looking structure. It has also been used more widely in body contouring to support skin firmness in areas such as the buttocks, though facial use remains its most established application within a medical aesthetic setting.
Dr Sateei will assess your specific areas of concern during consultation to determine whether Lanluma’s gradual, biostimulating approach suits your goals.
Treatment is delivered through a series of small injections into the target area. Most patients describe mild discomfort, and topical numbing can be used to improve comfort. Some swelling or bruising is common in the days following treatment.
Because Lanluma works by stimulating the body’s own collagen production, visible results build gradually over the following weeks and months. A course of sessions is typically recommended to achieve the fullest effect, and results are generally longer-lasting than standard hyaluronic acid filler.
Lanluma reflects Dr Sateei’s broader philosophy of enhancing the skin’s own structure rather than adding volume artificially, and her more than twenty years of experience in dermatology and aesthetics support a careful, considered approach to biostimulating treatments. She will assess your whole face before recommending a plan.
Every course of treatment is tailored to your specific goals following a thorough consultation, at both her London clinic near Harley Street and her Sevenoaks clinic in Kent.
