At Skin Medical, we offer Ellansé as an innovative HA filler designed to treat your skin for long-term rejuvenation and skin quality improvements. Ellanse’s collagen stimulating microspheres add volume, lift, reshape and improve skin texture all in one treatment. This article covers the must-know information around Ellanse and why it might be the right treatment for you. If you have any questions reach out to our team.
As we age, maintaining healthy, youthful skin becomes increasingly challenging. Over time, the natural production of collagen slows down, which reduces the skin’s elasticity and firmness. This eventually leads to common ageing concerns: a lack of volume, poor skin quality, fine lines and wrinkles. We see patients with these concerns in clinic every day and whilst there are many different treatment options, there is one biostimulating filler which stands out from the rest – Ellanse.
Known for its versatility and long-lasting effects, Ellanse offers numerous benefits if you’re looking to restore lost volume and sustain your skin’s youthful glow. This innovative treatment not only addresses the visible signs of ageing like wrinkles or sunken skin but also encourages the natural collagen production which contributes to a more subtle, natural looking result that many people are looking to achieve.
If you want to learn more about this treatment, you are in the right place. So let’s run through the key details of Ellanse, how we use it at Skin Medical why you should always seek a professional and how it differs from other collagen stimulating fillers.
See how Ellanse works and meet the team behind the treatment at Skin Medical in Northwood, and Harley Street, London.
Ellanse is a type of advanced dermal filler, which encourages your body to produce its own collagen. This is thanks to its unique composition of polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres, an innovative polymer with a long history of use in the biomedical field.
Ellanse is injected deep into the skin where the smooth microspheres (tiny particles) are evenly distributed using the Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMS) carrier gel. This carrier gel creates an immediate volumisation which helps correct sunken skin, fine lines and wrinkles. Then over the course of a few months, the presence of the smooth microspheres boosts your body’s natural collagen production.
This combined effect of immediate results with ongoing collagen improvement over time is what our patients love and why we believe Ellanse is the next big thing (our patients agree, check out our 5 star rating on google!).
Patients who are researching biostimulating or collagen stimulating fillers will see there is a lot of choice in terms of the treatments available. At Skin Medical, we also offer Lanluma, Sculptra and other collagen boosting treatments. However, the key difference with Ellanse is that double action, that you just don’t get with other collagen fillers.
Lanluma, which is primarily made of PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid), will give you great collagen stimulation over time (and is indicated for the face and body) but it won’t give you that immediate volumising effect you will get with Ellanse.
Ellanse is a highly safe and minimally invasive treatment but this depends (like all injectable treatments) on who is actually injecting the product.
Since Ellanse is a non-surgical treatment, you avoid many of the risks and complications associated with more invasive procedures, But like with many injectable products in the United Kingdom, anyone can go and purchase products, or undertake short courses and be allowed to legally treat the general public. In addition, something to bear in mind is that unlike HA fillers, Ellanse cannot be completely dissolved once it has been injected. So although it is completely safe, a consultation with Dr Sabika at Skin Medical will help you to understand if it is the right choice for you.
Ellanse is not only for superficial wrinkles, it targets the deeper layers of the skin. At Skin Medical, we recommend Ellanse for several key concerns.
