Ellanse Collagen Stimulation Treatment
As the skin ages, it can become more difficult to maintain a youthful appearance. Loss of collagen and elasticity means fine lines and wrinkles are prone to develop from regular facial movements over time.
Ellanse treatment provides an effective approach for combatting visible signs of ageing. In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about Ellanse and how it can help revitalize your skin.
What is Ellanse?
Ellanse is an innovative dermal filler that provides both immediate volume restoration and long-term skin rejuvenation. Ellanse contains polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres that stimulate your body’s natural collagen production over time.
Traditional fillers use hyaluronic acid, which provides temporary volume but no additional benefits once dissolved. Unlike these options, Ellanse continues nourishing skin from the inside out for visibly youthful skin long after treatment.
How does Ellanse work?
When injected, the Ellanse microspheres gradually break down, triggering collagen growth in the treated area. This leads to plumper, lifted skin with a more youthful appearance. The gelling carrier also provides instant volume correction. As the microspheres continue stimulating collagen for up to 2 years, your skin stays nourished from within.
Advantages of Ellanse:
- Lasts up to 2 years, much longer than hyaluronic acid fillers
- Continued collagen boosting leads to better volume over time
- More cost-effective than repeat treatments
- High clinical safety, approved in the UK as well as US
Who is Ellanse suitable for?
Ellanse is ideal for those seeking a natural-looking solution to age-related volume loss, fine lines and laxity. If you want results that lasts 18-24 months without repeat treatments, Ellanse may be the answer for you.
What Can Be Treated With Ellanse?
Ellanse is a versatile treatment that allows for highly customized treatment across multiple zones.
Common treatment areas include:
- Cheeks
- Forehead
- Jawline & lower face
- Chin
- Nose
- Temple and brow
Ellanse can smooth wrinkles and hollows for a complete facial transformation, targeting nasolabial folds, wrinkles, sunken cheeks, a distorted jawline and much more.
Since Ellanse filler stimulates the body’s collagen production, it’s not suitable as a lip filler or as a non-surgical blepharoplasty (eyelid lift).
Our doctors will craft a personalised strategy to target your specific needs and achieve natural-looking rejuvenation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Ellanse provides up to 2 years of collagen stimulation and rejuvenation. The effects will gradually improve over 3-6 months as collagen replenishes in the skin.
Ellanse is considered a safe and effective treatment when administered by a qualified and experienced doctor.

Discuss your safety concerns with our experienced doctors during your consultation.
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Ellanse cannot be removed once injected. For this reason, some patients may prefer to first try a hyaluronic acid filler to preview the final cosmetic result before committing to Ellanse.
While Ellanse lifts and contours areas effectively, it is not recommended for the delicate under-eye, eyelid or lip regions where shallow injection is required. For a comprehensive facial transformation, Ellanse can be combined strategically with hyaluronic acid fillers in other zones. Our doctors will craft a personalised approach based on your unique concerns and goals.
