Ellansé Dermal Filler Treatment in London

Facial ageing involves measurable changes in tissue composition — progressive volume loss, reduced structural support, and the gradual deepening of lines and folds that alter facial proportions over time. Ellansé filler addresses these concerns through a dual mechanism: providing immediate contour correction while signalling the dermis to produce new collagen over the months that follow.

At our central London clinic, ellansé treatment is planned individually for each patient following a thorough clinical assessment. The approach is suited to adults experiencing volume loss and skin laxity, loss of definition along the jawline or cheeks, deepened nasolabial folds, or diffuse signs of facial ageing where a long-lasting, collagen-stimulating dermal filler may offer meaningful aesthetic improvement.

Before and After Ellansé Filler Treatment

Following ellansé treatment, many patients notice an immediate improvement in facial volume and contour, with the treated area appearing more defined and structurally supported from the first session. Further gradual changes in skin quality and firmness typically develop over the weeks that follow as the dermal response progresses.

Visible results continue to evolve for up to three months after treatment as natural collagen production increases within the tissue. Individual outcomes depend on the areas treated, the volume of product used, and the patient’s own biological response. Results vary between individuals and are discussed realistically during consultation.

What is Ellansé Filler?

Ellansé is a collagen-stimulating dermal filler composed of two principal components: a gel carrier made from carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres suspended throughout the formulation. The CMC gel provides immediate volume upon injection, while the PCL microspheres act as a biostimulant, encouraging the body’s own collagen production over the months following treatment.

Unlike standard hyaluronic acid fillers, which are gradually absorbed and offer temporary volumisation alone, ellansé works through a sustained collagen induction process. As the gel carrier is gradually metabolised, a framework of new collagen develops in its place, supporting the treated tissue and contributing to skin quality improvements that extend beyond the duration of the original product.

Ellansé is available in four formulations — S, M, L, and E — each calibrated to deliver a different duration of effect, ranging from approximately one to four years. This allows the treatment plan to be matched to individual goals, pace of ageing, and the anatomical area being addressed.

Key characteristics of ellansé dermal filler:

Composed of PCL microspheres in a CMC gel carrier
Provides immediate volume and long-lasting collagen stimulation
Available in four durations: approximately 1, 2, 3, and 4 years
Delivered via needle or cannula depending on the treatment area and clinical approach
Cell-free and biodegradable; no live cellular material involved

The Ellansé Filler Treatment Process: Step by Step

Initial Consultation

A face-to-face consultation explores your concerns, aesthetic goals, relevant medical history, and clinical suitability for ellansé. Where prescription products are required, Dr. Ivan provides this assessment.

Clinical Assessment and Treatment Planning

The treatment areas are evaluated for volume distribution, tissue condition, existing dermal filler history, and suitability. A personalised treatment plan is prepared based on clinical findings.

Pre-Treatment Preparation

The skin is cleansed and, where appropriate, the treatment area is marked to guide precise injection placement. A topical anaesthetic may be applied to support comfort.

Treatment Delivery

Ellansé is injected into the skin via needle or cannula according to the agreed treatment plan. Sessions typically take between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the number of areas and volume used.

Aftercare and Recovery Guidance

Specific aftercare instructions are provided at the end of each session. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activity, significant heat exposure, and pressure on the treated areas in the days following the appointment.

Procedure time: 30–60 minutes

Recovery: Minimal downtime is typical. Mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site generally resolves within a few days following treatment.

Benefits of Ellansé Treatment

Ellansé offers a clinically considered approach to facial rejuvenation for patients seeking improvement in volume loss and skin laxity without relying solely on traditional dermal fillers that volumise temporarily. Its dual-action mechanism means that a single session may address both the immediate contour concern and the longer-term quality of the tissue beneath the surface.

For patients concerned with deepening nasolabial folds, flattened cheeks, loss of jawline definition, or general facial ageing, ellansé filler may offer progressively refining results aligned with the body’s own collagen production cycle. Results continue to improve in the months following the first treatment as collagen remodelling activity develops, meaning outcomes are typically described as natural-looking and gradual rather than abrupt.

The long-lasting nature of the product means that many patients require fewer treatments over time compared with standard hyaluronic acid fillers, which may represent a practical consideration when planning long-term aesthetic care. Every treatment plan is confirmed through individual clinical assessment.

Key benefits of ellansé dermal filler:

May help restore lost volume and improve facial contour and definition
Stimulates your body's own collagen production for progressive skin quality improvements
Long-lasting results across a range of durations to suit individual treatment goals
Designed to address the underlying causes of facial ageing, not surface appearance alone
Natural-looking results that develop gradually rather than through immediate overfilling
Compatible with multi-area treatment planning and combination aesthetic protocols

Ellansé Filler Treatment Options

Option One: Single-Area Volume Restoration

A focused ellansé injection targeting a defined concern such as cheek volume loss, temple hollowing, or deepened nasolabial folds. Appropriate for patients with localised facial ageing in a well-defined zone, assessed and planned individually during consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do the results of ellansé last?

The duration of ellansé results depends on the formulation used, individual metabolism, the area treated, and the volume of product applied. The S formulation is typically associated with approximately one year of effect, while the M, L, and E variants may last two, three, or up to four years respectively. Individual response varies and is discussed during clinical assessment, where the most appropriate formulation is selected based on your goals and the agreed treatment plan.

What are the risks associated with ellansé filler treatment?

As with any injectable dermal filler, ellansé carries potential risks and considerations that must be reviewed before proceeding. Common side effects include bruising, swelling, redness, and tenderness at the injection site, which typically resolve within a few days. Less common considerations include asymmetry, nodule formation, or delayed tissue response. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, ellansé cannot be dissolved enzymatically, which makes thorough pre-treatment assessment and precise injection technique particularly important. All potential risks are discussed during consultation.

How many sessions of ellansé treatment are typically needed?

Many patients achieve their goals with a single ellansé session, as the product provides immediate volume and continued collagen stimulation from one visit. In cases of more significant volume loss or where multiple areas are being addressed, a phased approach over two sessions may be planned. Maintenance treatments are typically considered only after the initial formulation has fully completed its duration. The appropriate number of sessions is confirmed following individual clinical assessment.

Is ellansé filler treatment painful?

Discomfort levels vary according to the area treated and the delivery method used. The CMC gel carrier within ellansé has mild anaesthetic properties, which may help reduce sensation during injection. A topical anaesthetic is applied in advance where clinically appropriate. Most patients describe the experience as tolerable, with mild pressure or brief stinging at the injection site. Your practitioner will adjust the approach where necessary to support comfort throughout the session.

Is there any downtime after ellansé filler?

Ellansé treatment is generally associated with minimal downtime. Some patients experience mild swelling, bruising, or localised tenderness for a few days following the session, most notably within the first 24 to 48 hours. These responses are considered normal and typically resolve without intervention. Specific aftercare guidance is provided following each appointment, including advice on activity, heat exposure, and pressure in the treated area. Most patients are able to resume their usual daily activities within a short period following treatment.

Who may be a suitable candidate for ellansé filler in London?

Ellansé may be considered for adults experiencing facial volume loss, deepening folds and lines, reduced definition along the jawline or cheeks, or general signs of facial ageing that may benefit from a long-lasting collagen-stimulating approach. Suitability is assessed based on medical history, skin and tissue condition, existing dermal filler history, and individual goals. Ellansé is not injected into areas containing permanent filler. Individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding are not suitable candidates at this time. Suitability is confirmed through individual clinical consultation.

When will I see results from ellansé treatment?

Some patients notice an immediate improvement in volume and contour at the injection site from the first session, as the CMC gel carrier provides immediate volumisation upon delivery. Deeper improvements in skin quality, texture, and structural support typically develop progressively over the following weeks and months as the body’s own collagen production responds to the PCL microspheres. The full collagen effect is generally most apparent approximately two to three months following the first treatment and continues to refine thereafter.

Can ellansé be combined with other aesthetic treatments?

Ellansé filler may be integrated into broader aesthetic treatment plans alongside complementary rejuvenation protocols, depending on individual suitability and clinical assessment findings. Timing and sequencing of any combined treatments are planned carefully during consultation to ensure the approach is cohesive and clinically appropriate. Your practitioner will advise on the most suitable combination strategy for your specific concerns, anatomy, and goals. Not all combinations are appropriate for every patient, and suitability is always confirmed individually.
