Ellanse
Ellansé is a unique, next-generation dermal filler that not only provides immediate volume and contouring but also stimulates long-term collagen production for natural, lasting results. Unlike traditional fillers, which primarily focus on adding volume, Ellansé works as both a filler and a biostimulator, making it a powerful option for achieving a facelift and contouring effect. Its versatility, safety, and natural-looking outcomes make it a popular option for those desiring youthful, sculpted facial contours without the need for surgery. Ellansé is composed of two main components:
Polycaprolactone (PCL) Microspheres:
Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a biodegradable, synthetic polymer that has been used in various medical applications, including sutures and drug delivery systems, for many years. In Ellansé, PCL is formulated into smooth, uniform microspheres with a specific size range (25-50 micrometers). These microspheres act as a collagen stimulator. The PCL microspheres provide the scaffold for new collagen production. Once injected, they gradually stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, which leads to a more sustained, natural-looking volume and firmness in the treated area over time. PCL is biocompatible and slowly biodegrades through hydrolysis into non-toxic monomers, which are eventually metabolized by the body.
Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) Gel Carrier:
Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is a biocompatible, resorbable gel carrier that provides the initial volume and lift upon injection. CMC is an inert gel that is composed of water and cellulose, a naturally occurring polysaccharide. The CMC gel carrier provides the initial volume and acts as a suspension medium for the PCL microspheres. The CMC gel gradually gets resorbed by the body within a few weeks after injection, leaving behind the PCL microspheres to continue stimulating collagen production.
Common Treatment Areas for Ellansé:
1) Cheeks
Restoring volume to the cheeks creates a lifted appearance, reducing sagging and giving the face a more youthful contour. Ellansé also helps define the cheekbones, adding structure and balance.
2) Jawline and Chin
Ellansé can be used to enhance the jawline, creating a sharper and more defined contour. It also improves the appearance of jowls, offering a lifting effect in the lower face.
3) Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines
Ellansé can smooth deep lines and wrinkles around the mouth and nose, while simultaneously tightening and lifting the skin for a more youthful appearance.
4.) Temples and Brow Area
Hollow temples can contribute to a sunken, aged look. By restoring volume in this area, Ellansé lifts and contours the upper face, improving the overall facial structure.
Benefits:
Immediate and Long-Lasting Results:
Ellansé provides an instant lifting effect while simultaneously working to produce new collagen, ensuring long-term improvements in skin firmness and contour.
Non-Surgical Solution:
As a non-invasive treatment, Ellansé offers a viable alternative to surgical facelifts, with no incisions, scarring, or downtime required.
Natural-Looking Enhancement:
The biostimulatory effect of Ellansé ensures that the results develop gradually over time, making the enhancements look natural as the collagen rebuilds your skin’s structure.
Versatile and Customizable:
Ellansé can be tailored to suit each individual’s unique needs and desired outcome, with customizable results lasting from 1 to 4 years.
How does it work?
How Ellansé Works for Facelift and Contouring:
1. Immediate Volume and Lift:
Ellansé is injected into targeted areas of the face to restore volume lost due to aging. This immediate volume creates an instant lifting effect, reducing the appearance of sagging skin and providing definition to areas like the cheeks, jawline, and chin. This gives the face a more youthful and lifted appearance right after the procedure.
2. Collagen Stimulation:
Unlike traditional fillers, Ellansé contains polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres, a biocompatible material that works to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. Over time, these microspheres encourage the skin to produce new collagen, which gradually replaces the filler material. This collagen production not only enhances the lifting effect but also improves skin elasticity, texture, and firmness, resulting in a long-lasting, natural contour.
3. Customized Longevity:
One of the key benefits of Ellansé is its customizable longevity. Depending on the patient’s needs, Ellansé is available in different formulations that provide results lasting from 1 to 4 years. This makes it ideal for patients looking for long-term solutions to sagging skin and volume loss, without the need for frequent touch-ups.
4. Facial Contouring:
Ellansé can be used to sculpt and contour areas such as the cheekbones, temples, and jawline, helping to define and enhance the natural shape of the face. By restoring volume to key areas, Ellansé improves the overall balance and harmony of the facial structure, creating a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Ellansé is ideal for individuals experiencing volume loss, sagging skin, or facial wrinkles, who are looking for a non-surgical option to lift and contour their face. It’s especially beneficial for patients seeking long-lasting results and those who prefer a natural, gradual enhancement of their facial features.
Consultation
During the consultation, our professional doctors will assess your facial structure, skin condition, and aesthetic goals to determine the best treatment plan with Ellansé. This personalized approach ensures optimal results tailored to your needs.
Procedure
The treatment is minimally invasive and typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. The filler is injected using fine needles or cannulas to ensure precision and minimize discomfort. Most formulations contain local anesthesia, but numbing cream can also be applied to ensure a comfortable experience.
