Polylactic Acid (PLA), Cosmetic Eye Enhancer Leads to Disfigurement
Polylactic acid (PLA) is a popular cosmetic eye enhancer which is used to decrease volume loss around the eyes. According to a new study in Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, cosmetic eye enhancement with polylactic acid (PLA) leads to disfigurement when not injected properly.
"PLA should not be injected superficially, especially around the eyes," said study author and dermatologist Greg Goodman. "This material does not act as a dermal filler, which would be injected superficially to smooth wrinkles, but needs to be placed deeply below the muscles to be a safer and more effective agent."
Dr. Goodman cautions against its use around the eyes unless completed by a doctor who is experienced in its use.
