Olidia explained

Olidia is a PLLA-based injectable made in Korea. PLLA is the same type of ingredient used in Sculptra. It comes as a powder that is mixed with sterile water before injection and is used to improve skin quality and firmness.

How Olidia works

After mixing, the PLLA particles are injected into the deeper skin or under the skin, often with a cannula. The particles are slowly broken down by the body while stimulating new collagen over weeks to months. Massage of the area is usually advised for a few days to spread the product evenly. It cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase.
