PLLA Injections for Loose Skin After Weight Loss Surgery
Part of Genetic & congenital, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests injections to tighten and lift loose, sagging skin that develops after bariatric (weight loss) surgery. The injections use a substance called PLLA to stimulate your body's natural skin-rebuilding process.
