Ellansé for the Body
Ellansé is a polycaprolactone (PCL) collagen stimulator that gives immediate correction plus longer-term collagen support. On the body it may be used in selected areas such as hand backs, hollows or depressed contours where durable results are wanted. Treatment takes about 20–40 minutes; suitability is decided after examination.
What is Ellansé for the Body?
Ellansé is not dissolvable, so it is used selectively and conservatively. See the facial Ellansé page for background.
Safety note: Korea restricts certain large-volume body filler uses (for example, breast augmentation with injectable filler is not permitted). Violacell only recommends body injectables in amounts and areas that your physician considers appropriate after an in-person assessment. See body filler safety.

Results and how long they last
Collagen-based improvement builds over 2–3 months per session and can last a long time; maintenance is discussed at follow-up.
