How Does Ellanse Work?

The fillers are made of polycaprolactone microspheres suspended in a carboxymethylcellulose gel carrier. The polycaprolactone microspheres are synthetic, but also bioresorbable. Once injected into the skin, the solution works to give immediate results and also to stimulate the body’s collagen production for long-lasting effects. By encouraging the body to increase its collagen production, these fillers give the skin the ability to heal itself.

Treatment Details

Ellanse dermal fillers are only intended to be administered by a licensed medical practitioner. Cleanse and disinfect the treatment area. You can use a local anesthetic, if needed. Prepare the syringe by attaching the needle with the Luer lock fitting. Slowly push on the syringe plunger until a drop of filler comes out. Inject subdermally at a 30° angle using the tunneling technique and a 1:1 correction factor. After injection, massage the area to distribute the filler evenly.

How Long Does Ellanse Last?

Each of the Ellanse fillers are formulated to last between 1 to 4 years: Ellanse S lasts up to a year; Ellanse M can last up to 2 years; Ellanse L lasts up to 3 years; and Ellanse E can last up to 4 years. The effects can vary depending on the patient’s age, skin condition, and lifestyle, as well as whether the filler has been injected correctly.
