Lenisna explained

Lenisna is the export name of the product sold in Korea as Juvelook Volume. It combines PDLLA (poly-D,L-lactic acid) microparticles with hyaluronic acid. It is used for mild volume loss and skin firmness rather than sharp contouring.

How Lenisna works

The doctor injects the product into the deep dermis or under the skin with a needle or blunt cannula. The hyaluronic acid gives some immediate hydration and soft volume. The PDLLA particles stay in the tissue and act as a scaffold that encourages the body to make new collagen over the next 2–3 months. Compared with regular Juvelook, the particles are larger and it is placed deeper, so it is aimed more at volume than skin texture.

Who Lenisna is for

• Mild hollows in the cheeks or temples
• Thin or sagging skin that needs firmness
• People who want a natural, gradual change

Who should avoid Lenisna

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women
