Q1. What is OLIDIA®, and how is it different from SCULPTRA®?
A. OLIDIA® is a collagen biostimulator formulated with PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid), the same active ingredient used in SCULPTRA®.
While both treatments stimulate the body's natural collagen production, differences may exist in particle characteristics, manufacturing processes, and treatment protocols.
OLIDIA® has been developed with a focus on uniform particle distribution and optimized collagen stimulation, providing a treatment approach designed to support natural-looking volume restoration and skin rejuvenation.
Q2. Do I need to massage the treated area after OLIDIA® treatment?
A. Although OLIDIA® is designed to promote smooth product distribution, gentle post-treatment massage may still be recommended.
Because PLLA works by stimulating collagen production over time, proper distribution of the injected product can help support even collagen formation throughout the treatment area.
Your physician will provide individualized aftercare instructions, including whether post-treatment massage is appropriate for your specific treatment plan.
Q3. How long does it take to see natural-looking volume after treatment?
A. Unlike traditional fillers, OLIDIA® does not create immediate volume by simply occupying space.
Instead, PLLA gradually stimulates the body's natural collagen production process. Most patients begin noticing progressive improvements in volume, skin quality, and facial contours approximately 4–6 weeks after treatment.
Results develop gradually, creating a natural-looking enhancement
Q4. How long do OLIDIA® results last, and how many treatments are recommended?
A. Treatment recommendations vary depending on individual goals, degree of volume loss, and skin condition.
In many cases, a series of three treatments performed at approximately one-month intervals is recommended to achieve optimal results.
Because OLIDIA® works through collagen regeneration, improvements may last approximately 18 to 24 months, although individual results can vary.
Q5. What are the advantages of OLIDIA® compared with fat grafting?
A. Both OLIDIA® and fat grafting can be effective approaches to facial rejuvenation, but they differ significantly in treatment method and recovery.
Compared with fat grafting, OLIDIA® offers:
• A non-surgical treatment approach
• Minimal downtime and recovery
• No donor-site procedure required
• Gradual, natural-looking volume enhancement
• Collagen stimulation that improves overall skin quality
Rather than creating volume through transplanted tissue, OLIDIA® stimulates the body's own collagen production, helping restore facial contours in a subtle and natural-looking manner.
