Facial Skin Rejuvenation With Poly-L-Lactic Acid (Plla): Four Case Studies, Stanley Setiawan, Theressia Handayani, Stefani Luziani

Journal of General - Procedural Dermatology and Venereology Indonesia

Background: Facial aging is characterized by the decline and loss of skin structure. Poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) is a biopolymer and biodegradable injection material that functions as a collagen stimulator. This active ingredient works by stimulating the formation of skin collagen after interacting with the PLLA crystal component. The expected final result is an increase in the skin volume with the thickening and increased density of the skin layers due to collagen remodeling. At present, data on the application of PLLA for facial photorejuvenation remains limited.

Case Illustration: Four patients aged 22-49 years old, with different severity of aging, underwent PLLA …

Dermoscopic And Histopathologic Findings In Diagnosing Postpartum Pemphigoid Gestationis, Rudi Chandra, Irma Damayanti Roesyanto-Mahadi

Journal of General - Procedural Dermatology and Venereology Indonesia

Background: Pemphigoid gestationis (PG) is an uncommon autoimmune vesiculobullous skin disorder associated with pregnancy, that occurs during mid-to-late pregnancy and immediate postpartum period.
