What is Ellansé®?
Ellansé Ellansé® is a unique biostimulatory filler composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres suspended in a carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) gel carrier. Upon injection, the CMC gel delivers immediate volumizing results, while the PCL microspheres gradually stimulate collagen production — improving skin texture, firmness, and density over the following months.
Ellansé How It Works
Phase 1 — Immediate Fill: The CMC gel carrier delivers instant lift and visible contour improvement from the moment of injection. Phase 2 — Collagen Regeneration: Over time, the PCL microspheres stimulate fibroblasts to produce new Type I collagen, rebuilding skin elasticity and structural integrity for a naturally youthful appearance that continues to improve over several months.
Core mechanism of action
Ellansé® Via Targeting the dermis, muscle, and soft tissue Dr. Xu customizes treatment parameters based on your bruising tendency, vascular occlusion risk profile, and skin characteristics to balance efficacy and safety.
Am I a candidate for Ellansé®?
You may be a good candidate if you experience: facial volume loss (cheeks, temples, chin, or jawline); skin laxity or deep wrinkles; desire a natural, long-lasting rejuvenation; prefer collagen stimulation over temporary filling; or wish to restore facial balance without surgery. This treatment may not be suitable if you are: pregnant or breastfeeding; diagnosed with an autoimmune or connective tissue disorder; have a history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring; or have an active skin infection or inflammation in the treatment area.
Ellansé® is not recommended, or requires careful assessment, if any of the following apply:
- First-time filler / uncertain about preferred shape (start with hyaluronic acid)
- Delicate high-risk areas (tear trough / lips — hyaluronic acid filler is generally preferred)
- Pregnancy / breastfeeding
- Active infection or inflammation at the injection site
- Keloid-prone skin
- Active autoimmune conditions (individual assessment required)
Ellansé Treatment process
Comprehensive consultation and facial analysis → Cleansing and topical anesthesia → Precise injection of Ellansé® into target areas → Gentle massage and contouring → Post-procedure care and hydration guidance.
