Book consultationRebuild lost volume and firmness from within with AesPlla, a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator, delivered by Dr Kris in Cambridge. Instead of simply filling lines, AesPlla prompts your skin to make its own collagen, for gradual, natural-looking results that can last up to two years or more.

Collagen stimulators such as AesPlla rely on precise preparation, placement and aftercare to give smooth, even results. Dr Kris brings more than 12 years of clinical experience and a detailed knowledge of facial anatomy to every AesPlla treatment at Kriniko Medical Aesthetics.
If your face has started to look thinner, softer or more tired, often from your 30s onwards or after weight loss, AesPlla can help restore the collagen and structure behind a fresher appearance.
AesPlla works with your body rather than adding instant bulk. Dr Kris uses it to restore the collagen framework that ageing takes away, so your face regains its support and you still look like yourself.
Dr Kris looks at where volume and firmness have been lost across your face, not just at individual lines, and plans treatment to restore balance.
The number of vials and sessions is matched to the degree of volume loss and your skin, so you receive only the treatment you genuinely need.
AesPlla rebuilds structure. For expression lines or skin texture, it can be combined with anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers or regenerative treatments such as polynucleotides.
Whether you want to restore cheek volume, firm up the lower face or improve overall skin quality, Dr Kris creates a personalised AesPlla plan for gradual, balanced results.
The cheeks and temples are often the first places to hollow with age or after weight loss, making the face look tired and drawn. AesPlla gradually rebuilds the collagen in these areas, restoring soft, youthful contours without an obvious "filled" look.
Because support is restored to the mid-face, AesPlla can also help soften nose-to-mouth lines indirectly. Results build steadily over the weeks after each session, giving a natural lift that looks like well-rested you.
From our mid-30s, we lose around 1% of our collagen each year, leaving skin thinner, less firm and more prone to fine lines. AesPlla is spread across broader areas of the face to thicken and strengthen the skin itself.
This makes it a popular choice for patients whose main concern is laxity or crepey texture rather than a single line or feature. It can also improve the appearance of shallow acne scarring as new collagen fills in from beneath.
Collagen loss in the lower face can deepen marionette lines, soften the jawline and allow early jowls to form. AesPlla restores support along the jaw and around the mouth, helping the lower face look firmer and more defined.
Results are subtle and progressive, making AesPlla well suited to patients who want to tackle sagging without a sudden change. Dr Kris will advise whether it should be combined with other treatments for the best outcome.

Knowing what happens before, during and after your AesPlla appointments helps you feel at ease and set realistic expectations.
Dr Kris reviews your medical history, assesses volume loss and skin quality, and explains how many sessions you're likely to need. You'll have time to consider your plan before going ahead.
Numbing cream is applied and AesPlla is injected with a fine needle or cannula. Each session takes around 30–45 minutes, with a course usually of two to four sessions spaced about four weeks apart.
Mild swelling and tenderness settle within days. You'll be shown how to massage the area at home (often five minutes, five times a day, for five days) to help AesPlla spread evenly.
Initial swelling fades within days. A fresher glow is often noticed from around four weeks, with volume and firmness continuing to build for up to three months after your final session.
