Ellansé (PCL Collagen Stimulator)
Ellansé is a collagen-stimulating filler made of polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres in a gel carrier. It adds volume immediately and stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen, helping restore contour and elasticity with long-lasting results. Treatment takes about 20 minutes with numbing cream, and normal activities can resume right away.
What is Ellansé?
Ellansé is often chosen for deeper folds, contour refinement and areas where durable volume is desired, including selected body areas.
