Summary

This study tests whether injections of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) can safely improve facial sagging and wrinkles in people who lost significant weight using GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide. Twenty-two adults aged 30-60 will receive three PLLA sessions, one month apart. Researchers will measure changes in wrinkle severity and overall appearance.
