Ellansé is a dermal filler composed of polycaprolactone microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. When injected into the skin, the gel provides immediate volume, while the microspheres stimulate the body's own collagen production over time. This combination approach means results develop gradually and last longer than traditional hyaluronic acid fillers.

Ellansé works well for people seeking to address fine lines, skin laxity, and volume loss in areas like the face and hands. It suits those who prefer results that build naturally over weeks rather than appearing instantly. A qualified provider will assess your skin condition and goals to determine if this filler matches your needs.

The appointment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. Your provider will cleanse the area and may apply a topical anesthetic or use a numbing cream before injecting. You may feel mild pressure or brief discomfort at injection sites.

There is typically no downtime required. Some people experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at injection sites, which usually resolves within a few days. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions to follow.

You may notice some improvement right away, but the most noticeable results appear over the following weeks as collagen stimulation takes effect. Results typically last 12 to 18 months, though individual timelines vary depending on metabolism and the treated area.
