Lanluma

Głównym składnikiem LANLUMA jest kwas L-polimlekowy (PLLA) o działaniu biostymulującym.

LANLUMA – what is it?

LANLUMA jest biostymulatorem tkankowym, a więc preparatem, który po podaniu w skórę pobudza fibroblasty do produkcji naturalnego kolagenu i elastyny – tworząca się gęsta sieć ich włókien tworzy naturalne rusztowanie dla tkanek, co prowadzi do odmłodzenia i ujędrnienia skóry, poprawy owalu, spłycenia zmarszczek. Poprzez produkcję kolagenu pojawia się też naturalny, nasilający się w czasie efekt przywrócenia objętości (np. w obrębie policzków) zanikającej w wyniku procesów starzeniowych. Głównym składnikiem LANLUMA jest kwas L-polimlekowy (PLLA) – substancja biostymulująca znana i wykorzystywana w medycynie od ponad 30 lat (PLLA fizjologicznie występuje też w ludzkiej skórze).

In the treatments, depending on the indications, we use two types of LANLUMA products:

LANLUMA V (210 mg PLLA) – recommended for face, neck and hand treatments,

LANLUMA X (630 mg PLLA) – recommended for body treatments, such as for rounding the buttocks in the unique “peach buttocks” procedure.

The treatment can be performed on areas such as:

  • face,
  • neck,
  • décolleté,
  • hands
  • arms
  • buttocks,
  • anti-ageing prevention,
  • loss of firmness, flabbiness of the skin,
  • volumetric losses that occur with age, such as sunken cheeks,
  • wrinkles and furrows, e.g. nasolabial furrows,
  • tissue drooping, jawline abnormalities, sagging cheeks,
  • płaskie, opadające pośladki (kwadratowe lub w kształcie litery A), wymagające uniesienia i zaokrąglenia,
  • loose, flabby skin of the arms, so-called bat wings,
  • first, second and third degree cellulite (thighs, buttocks, arms),
  • signs of ageing in the neck and décolleté – fine lines, tech neck, skin sagging,
  • symptoms of ageing in the hands – loss of volume, loose skin, wrinkles.
  • The facial treatment usually involves 2-4 sessions at 6-week intervals.
  • For cellulite and sagging skin (thighs, arms, buttocks), we usually do 3 sessions every 2-3 months, followed by a booster session once every 6 months.
  • To emphasise the buttocks, we usually perform 1-3 sessions every 4-6 weeks.

Proces przebudowy skóry w wyniku pobudzenia produkcji kolagenu zaczyna się ok. 6-8 tygodni po zabiegu i trwa przez ok. 9-10 miesięcy. Rezultaty uzyskane po 3 sesjach utrzymują się ok. 2 lat.

It is important to note that immediately after the procedure, a volumetric effect may be visible as a result of filling the tissues with the product. Thus, it is transient in nature, and it disappears when the water that makes up LANLUMA is absorbed. Now you have to wait patiently for about 2-3 months for the skin to remodel due to collagen stimulation and thus “build” the natural volume. As it occurs thanks to the body's natural regenerative abilities, the effects last for a long time.

Duration of the procedure

About 30 minutes. If an anaesthetic cream is used, add to this at least 30 minutes (this is how long the cream must remain on the skin to work). Injection anaesthesia can also be used, or the doctor can add lidocaine to water while preparing the injection mixture. At our clinic, we also use a proprietary method of anaesthetising the skin for injection treatments, especially biostimulating treatments, using cooling compresses and skin compression.

Pain intensity

Thanks to the use of anaesthesia, the procedure is virtually painless.

Recovery

The facial procedure does not require long recovery; you can return to your daily activities immediately afterwards. If the procedure is performed on the buttocks, we recommend wearing special compression underwear, but the patients can return to their daily lives.

LANLUMA – how does the procedure work?

The preparation is in the form of a powder, which the doctor must mix with sterile water just before the injection. They may also add lidocaine to it or use anaesthesia beforehand. Usually the preparation is administered by cannula – to a depth depending on the area and indications. Finally, the doctor performs a massage of the injected areas, which is an essential part of the procedure. The patient should continue performing the massage for 2 weeks after the treatment. In the case of buttock treatment, a bandage is applied at the very end of the procedure to maintain the effect of lifting and reshaping the buttock.

LANLUMA – how to prepare for the procedure?

The treatment does not require any special preparation, but a few days before the procedure, avoid taking anti-inflammatories that can reduce blood clotting (such as the popular Aspirin), as they can increase the risk of bruises and haematomas after the injection, Do not consume coffee or alcohol on the day of the procedure. When planning biostimulative treatments, it is also a good idea to introduce vitamin C supplementation to your diet beforehand, as it further stimulates collagen production initiated by LANLUMA administration.

„Od wielu lat pracuję z biostymulatorami na bazie PLLA. To niezwykle skuteczna substancja biostymulująca, która pozwala nie tylko odmłodzić twarz, ale też modelować ciało, zwłaszcza w okolicy pośladków!”

Dr Barbara Jerschina

LANLUMA – recommendations after the procedure

Immediately after the procedure, the skin may be red, swollen and tender, so you can use cooling packs for quick relief. These symptoms are temporary and usually completely resolve within 2-3 days.

Attention! It is very important to massage the injected areas every day for 2 weeks after the procedure according to the doctor's instructions that you will receive at our clinic. The massage lasts about 5-10 minutes and usually needs to be done 2 to 5 times a day, so it is not very inconvenient for patients. It will allow the product to be evenly distributed in the tissues, and reduce the risk of lumps and nodules that sometimes appear after the procedure.

Besides, follow the typical skin care recommendations after injection treatments:

  • on the day of the treatment, we recommend that you do not wash your skin or apply any creams,
  • keep your skin clean, using mild cleansers; don’t touch it with dirty hands, don't rub it with a used towel, replace bed linen with clean one, don’t cuddle with pets,
  • if there is redness or bruising, you can use special creams to speed up the healing of the skin after the procedure,
  • avoid swimming pool, gym, hot baths, sauna, and vigorous exercise for at least 1 week,
  • protect your skin with a high SPF sunscreen – injection sites are sensitive to UV rays,
  • after a facial treatment, you can usually apply makeup, preferably mineral makeup (with a clean brush), to your skin the very next day,
  • we also recommend continuing vitamin C supplementation for at least one month after the treatment,
  • you should also drink plenty of water, about 2.5 litres a day,
  • after biostimulation treatments, eat a nutritious diet, and especially supplement it with proteins, so your body can form new collagen.

For buttock contouring, banding and the use of compression underwear after the procedure are recommended to support the shape of the buttocks.

FAQ – frequently asked questions about LANLUMA

LANLUMA has a biostimulating effect, resulting in improved volume and rejuvenation of the skin from the inside. Sometimes, especially for those with advanced signs of ageing, it may be necessary to supplement its effects with hyaluronic acid-based fillers or botulinum toxin. We also recommend combining LANLUMA with skin refreshing, cleansing and conditioning treatments, such as Silk Peel, Aquapure, Hydrafacial or Geneo, as well as modern technologies, such as lasers or plasma. However, for the safety and effectiveness of the entire therapy, it is a prerequisite that their sequence and intervals are planned in advance. For cellulite and body treatments, the best results are achieved by combining treatments with diet, exercise, and hi-tech technologies, such as shockwave. Come in for a consultation with Dr Barbara Jerschina, who specialises in anti-ageing and weight loss programmes.

Gaining popularity, biostimulation treatments stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the skin, the so-called skin support proteins responsible for its firmness, density, and elasticity. It improves the contour, lifts the sagging cheeks, reduces wrinkles, and even naturally restores volume, for example, in the cheek area.

LANLUMA is not a filler in the sense that cross-linked hyaluronic acid preparations are. The volume gained is, in a way, generated by your body as a result of stimulating the skin to produce collagen and elastin. New fibres over time create new support for the tissues, the skin becomes firmer, denser and tighter. The procedure can replace hyaluronic acid in some cases, especially in young people, but it is always worthwhile to take a comprehensive approach to improving your appearance for best results.

LANLUMA zapewnia efekt utrzymujący się do 2-3 lat. Zależy to nie tylko od indywidualnych predyspozycji, ale także, w dużej mierze, od twojego stylu życia, diety, nawyków pielęgnacyjnych. Na pewno należy unikać palenia papierosów i nadmiernej ekspozycji na słońce – czynniki te sprzyjają bardzo szybkiej degradacji kolagenu, co powoduje gorsze i krótsze efekty zabiegów biostymulacji.

  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • Inflammation of the skin at the treatment site
  • Cancer diseases
  • Unregulated autoimmune diseases
  • Advanced diabetes
  • Keloid scar tendencies
  • Allergy to the ingredients of the preparation

The preparation must not be administered in the area of the eye, eye socket, and mouth!

If properly performed, the procedure is very safe and carries very little risk of adverse effects. Most of them are temporary (bruises, haematomas). Occasionally, lumps and nodules may also appear, which is usually related to the inadequate technique of administering the product or massaging the tissues after treatment. Dr Barbara Jerschina is very experienced in the use of biostimulators (including those based on L-polylactic acid), and each treatment is preceded by a proper qualification of the patient to minimise the risk of side effects. At our clinic, you will also get detailed instructions on how to care for your skin after the procedure. We encourage you to visit us!
