Ellanse — Clinic Care

What is Ellanse?

A long-lasting filler using PCL (polycaprolactone) microspheres that stimulate collagen production

Lasts longer than HA fillers (1–4 years), providing both volume filling and collagen stimulation simultaneously.

Overview & characteristics

Ellansé is known as a filler in which polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres are dispersed within a gel carrier. Immediately after injection, the gel fills the volume, and over time the PCL particles are discussed as stimulating surrounding collagen production through that mechanism, which is why its duration is considered relatively long-lasting. The fact that it is divided into several types — such as 1 to 4 years — according to the rate at which the particles are absorbed is also commonly mentioned.

How to manage

Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, it is generally not easy to dissolve, so careful consideration in selecting the care area and volume is typically recommended. For a few days after injection, it is best to avoid massage or strong pressure and to monitor the area as swelling subsides. If nodules or asymmetry are noticed, consulting a dermatologist is recommended.

Good to know alongside

It is frequently compared and discussed alongside hyaluronic acid fillers and collagen-stimulating fillers (such as Sculptra). The characteristic of simultaneously addressing volume filling and collagen stimulation is noted as a key feature.

Everyday care tips

Before the session, it is advisable to discuss your desired contour and how long you want the results to last thoroughly during your consultation, and for a few days after the session, avoid pressing firmly on the care area.
