| Popis: | Summary:. Injectable poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) has been widely used for skin texture improvement, volume augmentations of the face or body, and other cosmetic or reconstructive treatment. Despite its significant efficacy, many side effects have also been reported. Here, we describe a case of rosacea aggravated by intracutaneous injection of PLLA using a mesogun injector with stamp-type microneedle. After the treatment, the patient exhibited aggravated rosacea symptoms, such as flushing and erythema. A possible mechanism for the exacerbations might be that PLLA stimulated subclinical inflammatory reaction in the skin. We suggest that PLLA injection should be administered more cautiously in patients with rosacea or other inflammatory skin lesions. |
