What You Need To Know About Collagen Stimulating Filler Ellanse?

You may have heard about Ellanse also known as 少女針 a new anti-aging treatment that is becoming increasingly popular among people all around the world. It is an injectable filler, however it differs significantly from conventional fillers in a number of ways. The question of how it differs from other filler treatments such as Sculptra, Radiesse, and hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane comes up all the time in my clinic.

The greatest option for you will depend on your specific requirements. All of them are effective treatments. I will try to provide you with as much information as I can about Ellanse so that you can decide if it is a good fit for you.

Absence of Hyaluronic Acid

Ellanse is a filler that does not contain hyaluronic acid. It is injected into the skin to lift, sculpt, and restore volume lost as a result of skin aging. Poly-Caprolactone (PCL) microspheres, a bioresorbable soft medicinal polymer, are its main component. The PCL is suspended in a carboxymethylcellulose gel carrier (CMC).

Ellanse reverses skin aging in two steps when injected into the skin:

• The CMC gel immediately lifts and sculpts the skin. The gel, on the other hand, only lasts about 12 weeks.

• Simultaneously, the PCL microspheres begin to boost your skin’s collagen production. The collagen stimulation reaches a climax at 12 weeks, yielding the ultimate result.

Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which lift because of their gel-like qualities, Ellanse works by increasing your body’s production of collagen. The results are valid for two to four years.

Why does Ellanse last so long compared to other dermal fillers?

Ellanse is constructed of microspheres, which disintegrate in a different way than other fillers. Ellanse enters your body and undergoes a “resorption” process in which the molecules gradually disintegrate. Until practically all of the molecules are dissolved, the microspheres retain their original volume.The amount of molecules that make up the spheres determines its lifespan. The greater the number of molecules, the longer the result will last. 

Which Aspects of the Body Can Be Treated?

Ellanse is a very varied musician. It is firm enough to sculpt face features like the chin and nose while remaining malleable enough to restore volume to the forehead. In my profession, I particularly like Ellanse for the chin since it is so defined, as well as for the forehead because it produces natural, long-lasting effects.

Ellanse can be used to treat the majority of the places that hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers can treat, including the following:

• Areas of the temples and brows

• Forehead

• Cheeks

• Nasolabial Folds

• Marionette lines on the lower face

• Nose

• Chin

• Jawline

• Hands

The following are some of the benefits of HA fillers over Ellansé:

• When it comes to HA fillers, there is an antidote: they can be dissolved if a problem arises. As a result, both small (lumpiness) and significant (necrosis) issues can be managed more easily.

• HA fillers provide the face a more dewy appearance. As a result, they are employed as Skinboosters to improve skin texture.

• HA fillers are superior for fine-tuning sensitive regions like the undereye area.

• HA fillers are less expensive in the beginning.

• If you decide to have surgery (for example, a nose implant), the HA fillers can be removed. Ellansé cannot be dissolved, and you will have to wait a few years for it to resorb.
