Ellansé™ is injected into the skin in a minimally invasive procedure with a ready-for-use syringe. Injection of the EllanséTM dermal filler provides an immediate and sustained full correction of facial folds and wrinkles.
The mode of action is the same throughout the entire Ellansé Family. Ellansé is a dermal filler providing immediate results, as well as Biostimulation inducing neo-collagenesis for longer-lasting and sustained results.
- Due to the optimum viscosity and elasticity of the gel-carrier, the wrinkles and folds undergo immediate physical correction after treatment.
- The gel-carrier (suspension medium for microspheres) is gradually resorbed over a period of several weeks after treatment.
- In parallel, the perfectly smooth PCL-microspheres stimulate neo-collagenesis to replace the volume of the resorbed carrier. The microspheres are not phagocytozed because of their size (25-50 µm) and surface characteristics (totally smooth and spherical-shaped). Instead, the surface of the smooth and spherical PCL microspheres is coated with a monolayer of macrophages and a scaffold of new high quality collagen
- This scaffold formation leads to the soft tissue augmentation effect of the dermal filler and results in extended correction times and unique sustained performance, leading to increased patient satisfaction.
The soft tissue augmentation effect is maintained throughout the duration performance of Ellansé (Sustained Performance). This new collagen creates volume to correct the signs of facial aging and produces a longer-lasting natural and youthful look.
The cosmetic results are soft and natural looking, and feel like the patient’s own skin. The PCL microspheres fully bioresorb, controlled and predictably, into water soluble products and are then fully excreted through normal metabolic pathways as CO2 and water (Total Bioresobability).
Collagen is one of the important support structures found naturally in our skin, helping to maintain the appropriate tightness, elasticity and suppleness. Over the course of time, our skin gradually loses its natural collagen, leading to facial laxity and the formation of wrinkles and folds. Ellansé uses the body’s natural response to stimulate the generation of the body’s own collagen (neo-collagenesis) – restoring a fresh, youthful look.
The actual duration of the aesthetic results is tunable, and offers the physician and the patient a choice for a particular Ellansé Family product (Ellansé-S, Ellansé-M, Ellansé-L, Ellansé-E), according to their preference.
The mode of action is exactly the same for all the different Ellansé versions due to the uniformity of particle size and particle smoothness.
