Lanluma for crepey underarms

Question

A sculptra doctor has suggested lanluma for my crepey underams. I can't find evidence of him or anyone else having done this before Is it as safe, effective and without side effects as he says it is? Also, would lanluma be suitable for boney/veiny hands and arms as well? Thank you

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

Thank you for reaching out with your question about Lanluma for treating crepey skin under the arms. Lanluma is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) filler, similar to Sculptra, used for stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture and firmness. While it is primarily used for body contouring and enhancing skin elasticity, its use for crepey skin under the arms is less common and may not be widely documented.

As with any aesthetic treatment, the safety and effectiveness of Lanluma depend on the expertise of the practitioner and the individual patient's response. It's important to ensure that your doctor is experienced with the product and has a good understanding of its application for your specific concern.

Regarding its use for bony or veiny hands and arms, Lanluma might help improve the appearance by increasing collagen production and adding volume. However, these areas can be more challenging to treat due to thinner skin and more prominent veins and tendons.

I recommend discussing your concerns in detail with your doctor, asking about their specific experience with Lanluma for these areas, and reviewing before-and-after photos of similar cases. This will help you make an informed decision about whether this treatment is right for you.
