WHAT IS ELLANSÉ?

HOW DOES ELLANSÉ WORK?

Ellansé Dermal Filler contours and regenerates the lost volume through the body’s own natural processes rather than just adding volume directly. Collagen is a very important protein, that keeps the skin elastic, firm and youthful. As the skin matures, the level of collagen starts to reduce. Ellansé can prevent collagen loss and the formation of aging signs like wrinkles and skin laxity.

Ellansé continues to trigger the production of collagen for almost 4 years, which is much longer than other fillers. It consists of 2 important ingredients – Polycaprolactone (PCL) which restores the volume or better contours immediately and then dissolves after 3 months, while the other ingredient, Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) carrier gel, triggers the production of collagen and maintains this newly restored volume or contours. Basically, when the first ingredient breaks down and disappears, the body is left with a natural product in the skin.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

  • WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR ELLANSÉ TREATMENT?

    Ellansé Dermal Filler is suitable for both men and women who wish to restore the lost volume and enhance their facial contours. It is ideal for patients who are starting to notice aging signs on their faces.

    When people are in their late 20s, their collagen slowly starts to diminish. Excessive and prolonged sun exposure can contribute to faster collagen loss. This could be the best time to try

    Ellansé Dermal Fillers, preserve already existing collagen and stimulate the production of the new one. The patients keep the volume in their facial areas and reduce the early aging signs. When starting with Ellansé at this age, only small amounts are necessary to improve the start of volume loss.

    When people are in their 30s and 40s, they start to experience a greater loss of collagen. They might notice the loss of facial fat, increased skin laxity, flatter cheeks, under-eye hollows, hollow temples and wrinkles. The facial shape slightly changes which results in a tired-looking and unhealthy appearance. Ellansé Dermal Fillers are perfect for these facial issues because they can treat the whole face and reduce aging signs. As new collagen gradually builds up, it naturally restores lost volume and improves skin elasticity and thickness.

    When people are in their 50s and above, they experience increased skin laxity because of greater volume loss and thinner skin. Ellansé Dermal Fillers can brilliantly address these issues and they can be safely combined with other anti-aging treatments.

  • HOW IS ELLANSÉ DIFFERENT FROM HYALURONIC ACID?

    Both Ellansé and Hyaluronic Acid Fillers can be used to treat the same facial areas, but they work differently. Therefore the patients should establish their goals of the treatment prior to choosing either Ellansé or Hyaluronic Acid Fillers.

    Both Dermal Fillers are brilliant for targeting wrinkles and lines like nasolabial folds.

    However, Ellansé Dermal Fillers provide longer-lasting results, correct deep wrinkles and restore cheek volume. They have a thicker, gel-like structure which allows them to last longer. They also trigger the collagen production and improve facial contours. Hyaluronic Acid fillers have a shorter duration because they are more liquid. HA fillers are ideal for lips enhancement and augmentation as Ellansé Dermal Fillers are not suitable for lip treatments.

    Another difference between these two Dermal Fillers is that HA fillers can be dissolved, while Ellansé can’t. Therefore it is very important to find an experienced doctor to perform the procedure and ensure the best results.
