Ellansé® is a slow-resorptive injectable utilized to fill wrinkles and treat facial volume loss by promoting collagen in the skin.
Ellansé®: A long-lasting volumizer
Ellansé® consists of 70% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) gel and 30% polycaprolactone microspheres (PCL).
Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a polymer compatible with biological tissues that offers an instant filling effect by the volume injected and promotes the production of new collagen by the body. The microsphers have a diameter of 25 to 50 microns, are smooth, flexible and completely resorbable.
Polycaprolactone is known for over thirty years and is comprised in the composition of numerous US FDA approved medical devices (surgical sutures, healing adjuvants, orthopedic and cardiovascular surgery, etc.).
Ellansé® is a fully resorbable product consequently there are no dangers of allergy or rejection.
Treatment: Restoring facial volume
In order to compensate for the fat melting that occurs with age Ellanse is used as a volumizing filler.
The areas of injection are:
- The temples
- The cheekbones
- The nose bridge
- Cheeks
- The nasolabial folds
- Expression lines
- The chin
- The hollow of the chin
As a biostimulatory substance, Ellansé® is suitable in situations where it is not particularly necessary to add volume, but to treat the signs of skin aging:
- Fine lines on the lips and cheeks
- Filling more prominent wrinkles in the cheeks, forehead or chin
Course of a session
The session lasts less than thirty minutes.
The physician injects Ellansé® into the subcutaneous tissue after the skin is cleansed. The injection is pain free because it contains lidocain, a local anesthetic that increases patient comfort during treatment.
Ellansé® uses the body's natural reaction to encapsulate polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres and induce the formation of new collagen.
One session is sufficient to get the desired result.
Side effects of the injections
There is at most a mild bruising or a slight swelling for a few days. Activities can be resumed immediately.
Results
The effects of the Ellansé® Soft volumizer are instantaneous. The final result will last one to two years.
