PDLLA + HA Collagen Skin Booster
Smoother texture. Refined pores. A healthier “glass skin” glow — built gradually with collagen support.
At The Hera Clinic, we offer a PDLLA + Hyaluronic Acid (HA) hybrid skin booster designed to improve skin texture, enlarged pores, acne-scar-related roughness and early fine lines.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers that focus on volume, this treatment is designed for skin quality improvement — helping your skin look smoother, clearer and more refined over time.
What is a PDLLA Skin Booster?
A PDLLA + HA hybrid skin booster is an injectable used to improve skin quality rather than “instant volumising” like traditional fillers.
- HA (hyaluronic acid) helps support hydration and skin suppleness.
- PDLLA (poly-D,L-lactic acid) is a biocompatible polymer used in dermatology that can help stimulate collagen remodelling, supporting gradual improvements in firmness, texture and overall skin quality.
Think of it as a “skin-quality builder”: subtle, progressive, and designed for patients who want refinement without an overfilled look.

How it works
This treatment targets the “skin quality” pillars that contribute to a smooth, radiant look:
- Collagen support (PDLLA)
PDLLA has been widely discussed in dermatology literature for its potential role in tissue regeneration, scar remodelling and skin firmness/elasticity improvements over time.
- Hydration & glow (HA)
HA supports moisture retention, which can improve skin smoothness and the appearance of fine lines related to dehydration. Skin booster reviews describe how injectables can improve common ageing changes like dullness and dehydration.

Combination Treatments for Enhanced Results
