Ellanse dermal filler is one of the most powerful fillers for lifting and stimulating collagen production.
Ellanse filler has a much higher dynamic G’ (read as prime) profile when compared to most hyaluronic acid fillers (exceptions being Teosyal Ultradeep, RHA4, Belotero Intense etc) , which is a correlation of how it is able to resist the downward sag and gravitational pull of the facial tissues, retaining the structures in a lifted position.
When injected in the deep fat pads of the sub orbicularis oculi, deep cheek and deep pyriform fat pads, they give an immense lifting power.
Ellanse contains 30% polycaprolactone microspheres which are proven to stimulate a majority of Type I Collagen (the youthful collagen as compared to Type III which is scar type collagen ) in surrounding tissues where it’s injected. The collagen will make up 70% of the space that was initially taken up by the CMC gel, 3 - 4 months after injection.
Repeated Ellanse treatments over time will result in the stacking of more and more collagen over time, and the continuous improvement of the patient's facial age, thus giving it the name ‘少女针‘(loosely translated as the Needle of Youth).
The Ellanse filler themselves last 2 years and more, so it’s definitely one of the most sought after dermal fillers in Asia now.
Hyaluronic acid fillers stimulate very little collagen in their studies and can be seen as a “stop-gap” measure rather than a true anti-ageing treatment.
