Lenisna
Volume from biology, not filler
Lenisna London – A Modern PDLLA Collagen Biostimulator at Montclaire Aesthetics
Lenisna is a next-generation biostimulator that improves skin quality and subtle volume by activating your body’s own collagen production. Rather than filling creases directly, it strengthens the dermal framework, restoring elasticity and gentle lift from within.
At Montclaire Aesthetics in Barnes, London, I recommend Lenisna for patients seeking natural rejuvenation – those who want improved definition and support without the heaviness or tell-tale look of conventional fillers.
What Actually is Lenisna?
Lenisna combines two complementary components that act in different time frames:
• PDLLA microspheres – these signal fibroblasts to produce new collagen and extracellular matrix
• Non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid – providing immediate hydration and tissue flexibility
This dual action is important. The HA component gives an early softness and glow, while the PDLLA quietly drives longer-term remodelling.
Over several months the dermis becomes denser, more elastic and better able to support facial movement.
Lenisna is not a traditional dermal filler.
Nothing permanent is being placed to occupy space.
The visible change comes from your own collagen.
Why Filler Isn't Always The Answer
Many patients arrive believing they need more filler because the face looks flatter or looser.
In reality the issue is often declining skin quality and structural collagen rather than simple volume loss.
Adding more HA can sometimes make lax tissue feel heavier, particularly in the lower face.
Lenisna offers a different route: improve the quality of the fabric rather than adding more weight to it.
Volumising Effects, Without Filler
Lenisna can create genuine volume improvement, but it does so biologically rather than mechanically.
As collagen and elastin rebuild, the mid‑face regains soft projection and the lower face feels better supported.
Patients commonly notice:
• a gentle return of cheek contour rather than a filler shelf
• improved support around the mouth and nasolabial area
• smoother transition between lid and cheek
• a rested appearance that still moves naturally
This makes Lenisna an excellent alternative for people who dislike the idea of traditional fillers, have previously felt fillers looked heavy, or whose anatomy no longer responds well to HA volume.
Lenisna For Skin Laxity
Skin laxity is driven by loss of collagen, elastin and dermal hydration.
Lenisna addresses all three layers at once.
• better snap and recoil when the skin is moved
• reduction in crepey texture across cheeks and jawline
• softer appearance of early jowling
• improved definition along the mandibular line
For peri‑ and menopausal patients this approach is often more logical than adding heavier fillers to already lax tissue.
Who Lenisna Suits Best
Lenisna is ideal if you:
• feel you look tired or less defined
• want lift without obvious volume
• have early to moderate laxity
• prefer gradual, natural change
• wish to reduce reliance on traditional fillers
Common treatment areas:
• mid‑face and cheeks
• perioral region
• lower face laxity
• delicate skin needing quality rather than bulk
How Results Develop
This is a biological process rather than an instant transformation.
Typical timeline:
• 1–2 weeks – improved hydration and glow
• 6–8 weeks – early collagen strengthening
• 3–4 months – fuller effect and soft lift
Results feel like better skin rather than an added product. Many patients report make‑up sits more smoothly and the face looks brighter even on tired days.
How Many Sessions Are Needed
Treatment plans are individual, but commonly:
• 1 session – subtle refresh and early laxity
• 2 sessions – noticeable structural support
• 3 sessions – more advanced rejuvenation and volume
Maintenance is often considered at 12–18 months depending on ageing pattern and lifestyle
The Appointment Experience
• detailed medical consultation and consent
• facial assessment of movement and support
• bespoke placement for your anatomy
• topical numbing for comfort
• gentle, precise technique
Most people return to normal life immediately with minimal downtime such as mild swelling or tenderness for 24–48 hours.
What Lenisna Can And Cannot Do
Lenisna is excellent for improving skin strength and soft volume, but it will not:
• replace the effect of surgical lifting
• dissolve existing heavy filler
• create dramatic overnight change
Honest expectations are central to good outcomes.
Lenisna Vs Other Options
Lenisna vs traditional filler – filler replaces volume instantly; Lenisna rebuilds your own framework gradually.
Lenisna vs Juläine – Juläine is a PLLA platform focused on structural stimulation; Lenisna adds an HA hydration element giving earlier softness and greater suitability for delicate tissues.
Lenisna vs Sculptra – Sculptra is an older PLLA technology aimed at deep architecture; Lenisna is a newer hybrid approach that feels lighter and more skin‑focused.
Safety And Suitability
Lenisna is technique‑sensitive and requires a full assessment.
It may not be suitable if you:
• have active inflammatory skin disease
• need immediate event results
• are pregnant or breastfeeding
• have certain immune conditions
A consultation at Montclaire is always about suitability first.
