Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ellansé™ ?
Ellansé™ is a unique dermal filler administered by your healthcare professional for beautiful, natural-looking results that can be sustained for up to 4 years – eliminating the need for frequent repeat treatments. It is the first dermal filler Family with the unique feature of ‘Tunable Longevity’, so you can choose just how long you would like the results to last.
Ellansé is different from other dermal fillers due to the characteristics of Sustained Performance and Total and Controlled Bioresorbability (ST>span style=”font-size: 80%;”>AT Technology™). This means that Ellansé will maintain full correction until totally eliminated from your body, after it has achieved the desired performance duration.
How long will the results last?
That’s your choice! Ellansé gives you the unique opportunity to choose the duration of your renewed beauty. The Ellansé dermal filler Family is available in four versions, Ellansé-S (1 year), Ellansé-M (2 years), Ellansé-L (3 years) and Ellansé-E (4 years).
What does Ellansé™ cost?
In comparison to many other dermal fillers, treatment with Ellansé is very cost-effective due to less material being required for optimal aesthetic results. In addition, due to the maintained and longer lasting results, less frequent repeat treatments are needed over time.
As an example, the results of a single Ellansé™-E treatment lasts four years, compared with most other dermal fillers where you would need an average of 4 to 6 treatments during the same four year time period.

Is Ellansé™ a permanent filler?

Is allergy testing required?
In contrast to most other dermal fillers, Ellansé uses non-animal, non-bacterial and non-human derived components eliminating possible allergic reactions. Ellansé is made up of safe synthetic components, which means that your healthcare professional can treat you without prior allergy testing.
Can I use Ellansé™ when I am using medication?
If you are using medication, even without prescription, please consult your physician, as this might affect the treatment.
What do I need to do prior to the treatment?
Nothing, but you should, consult your physician about your medical history when deciding on treatment options.
What can I expect during treatment?
Before treatment, your healthcare professional will discuss your medical history and answer all of your questions. The treatment area will be cleaned with an antiseptic by your healthcare professional and together, it will be determined if an anesthetic is required. Ellansé will be injected in small amounts into the skin using a very fine needle. An ice pack may be applied to the treatment area before or after treatment to reduce possible swelling.
How will the treatment feel?
Ellansé is a unique, soft, and smooth formulation, which is injected into the skin through a very fine needle. Since each patient might react differently, it will be determined if an anesthetic is required. An ice pack may be applied to the treatment area before or after treatment to reduce possible swelling. Please consult your healthcare professional for advice.
How long will the treatment take?
Ellansé is only to be injected by a qualified and trained medical professional. The treatment is simple, quick and convenient and will take approximately half an hour, so you can enjoy your new look immediately. Ellansé does not require any skin-testing prior to the treatment.
When can I expect to see the results?
You can enjoy your new, natural and beautiful look immediately after treatment. Moreover, due to the specifically designed unique formulation, the results are longer-lasting and sustained over time in comparison to other dermal fillers.
Are there any side effects?
As with all dermal fillers, common injection related side effects like swelling, redness, and bruising may occur. These side effects are usually mild in nature and resolve within 1-2 days. Consult your healthcare professional about possible side effects.
Can I immediately return to my daily activities?
Yes, most patients can return to their daily activities immediately after the treatment. Approximately 24 hours after the treatment most of the possible swelling or redness should be gone. It is recommended to avoid excessive exposure to sun/UV light for one week after the treatment. Follow the advice of your healthcare professional.
What can I expect after treatment?
A beautiful, fresh new look! There is no medication prescribed after the treatment. After about two to three months you will have a check-up with your healthcare professional.
