PLANITI is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) dermal filler that functions as a bio-stimulator rather than a traditional volumising filler. Once injected into the deep dermal or subcutaneous layers, the PLLA microparticles trigger fibroblast activity, stimulating natural collagen production. This process gradually restores skin firmness, elasticity, and structure, resulting in smoother, lifted, and more youthful-looking skin over time.

PLANITI is designed for facial volume restoration and contour enhancement, particularly in areas affected by ageing or skin laxity. Common treatment zones include the cheeks, temples, jawline, chin, and nasolabial folds. Its collagen-stimulating action also improves overall skin texture and elasticity, making it suitable for patients seeking long-lasting skin rejuvenation rather than instant volumisation.

A standard treatment course typically involves 2 to 3 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. While some initial improvement may be visible immediately due to the carrier solution, the true results develop gradually as collagen synthesis increases - usually becoming noticeable from 4-6 weeks and continuing to improve for several months. Results can last up to 24 months, depending on individual factors such as age, lifestyle, and skin condition.

Unlike HA fillers that provide immediate volume by physically filling lines or hollows, PLANITI works by stimulating the body’s own collagen production for gradual, long-term rejuvenation. This leads to natural, durable improvements in skin structure without the “overfilled” appearance sometimes associated with HA fillers. Its effects are progressive and regenerative, offering firmness, lift, and texture enhancement that evolve over time.

Conduct a full consultation and medical history to exclude contraindications (active infection, uncontrolled systemic disease, pregnancy/breastfeeding, known hypersensitivity to components). Mark treatment zones with the patient upright for accurate assessment. Use standard aseptic technique, cleanse thoroughly, and consider topical or local anaesthesia per clinic protocol to enhance comfort. Discuss realistic timelines - immediate changes vs progressive collagen stimulation - and obtain informed consent.

Yes, PLANITI integrates seamlessly into multi-modality treatment plans. It can complement other collagen-stimulating and skin-rejuvenating procedures such as skin boosters, polynucleotides, microneedling, and peels. Practitioners should space treatments appropriately to ensure optimal results and minimise irritation. This synergy allows clinicians to target both deep structural support and surface-level rejuvenation for comprehensive anti-ageing outcomes.
