Ellansé Collagen-Stimulating Filler in Tunbridge Wells

Ellansé is a collagen-stimulating dermal filler containing polycaprolactone microspheres within a carboxymethylcellulose gel carrier. It provides initial structural correction while supporting gradual collagen production.

It is both. Ellansé provides immediate structural support like a dermal filler and also encourages a gradual collagen response.

Ellansé contains polycaprolactone microspheres and cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Hyaluronic acid fillers may usually be dissolved or reduced where clinically appropriate.

No. Ellansé cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase in the way a hyaluronic acid filler can. This is an important consideration before treatment.

Ellansé may be considered for selected facial areas including the cheeks, mid-face, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, chin and jawline. Temples may also be treated where clinically appropriate and currently offered.

Ellansé should not be promoted for the lips, eyelids or tear trough area. A different injectable or skin treatment may be more appropriate.

Initial structural correction may be visible immediately. Temporary swelling can affect the appearance during the first few days, while collagen-related changes develop gradually.

Results may last for around 24 months, depending on the product used, treatment area, amount, tissue condition and individual response.

Ellansé treatment at rtwskin currently starts from £450. The final cost depends on the treatment area and amount of product required.

Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising or visible injection marks may occur. Visible reactions may create social downtime for several days.

Patients may feel temporary stinging, pressure or discomfort. A topical anaesthetic or another comfort measure may be used where appropriate.

Common temporary effects include redness, swelling, tenderness and bruising. Less common complications will be discussed as part of the consent process.

No. Ellansé may improve selected areas of facial support and contour, but it cannot remove excess skin or replace surgery where there is advanced laxity.

Yes. A consultation is required to assess anatomy, medical suitability, previous filler, treatment goals, alternatives, risks and total cost.

Ellansé is composed of a smooth carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) gel combined with polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres. CMC provides immediate volume and lift, while PCL stimulates your body’s natural collagen production over time. Both components are fully biodegradable and safely broken down by the body.

Results from Ellansé can last from 18 months up to 2–3 years, depending on the specific Ellansé product used (S, M, L, or E), your skin type, age, and lifestyle factors such as smoking or sun exposure.

You’ll see an immediate lift and contour improvement right after treatment. Over the following 2–3 months, results continue to improve as new collagen is stimulated, leading to natural firmness and long-lasting rejuvenation.

Most patients achieve excellent results with just one session, thanks to Ellansé’s dual effect of instant correction and long-term collagen stimulation. In some cases, a touch-up treatment may be recommended after 12–18 months to maintain results.

Discomfort is usually minimal. Ellansé is often combined with a local anaesthetic or numbing cream to make the injections more comfortable. Most patients describe only a mild stinging or pressure during the procedure

Common side effects are mild and temporary, such as redness, swelling, tenderness, or small bruises at the injection sites. These usually resolve within a few days. Serious complications are rare when performed by trained medical professionals.

Yes. Ellansé can be safely combined with treatments such as wrinkle-relaxing injections, skin boosters, laser rejuvenation, or Silhouette Soft thread lifts for a more comprehensive result. Your practitioner will advise on the best treatment plan for your needs.

When administered by experienced medical professionals, Ellansé is considered very safe. It is CE-approved in Europe and has undergone extensive clinical testing. Safety relies heavily on correct injection technique and practitioner expertise.

Absolutely. Ellansé is increasingly popular among men seeking to restore definition in the jawline, cheeks, and chin, or to achieve a more masculine contour. Treatment is tailored to respect male facial structure and avoid over-feminisation.

No. Like all dermal fillers, Ellansé is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. While there is no evidence of harm, treatments should be postponed until after this period for safety.

Ellansé is ideal for patients seeking both immediate results and long-term collagen stimulation. Because Ellansé is non‑reversible, precise treatment planning is crucial. Once injected, it cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase, unlike hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are dissolvable and may be preferable for those wanting more flexibility or very subtle adjustments. A consultation will help determine the best choice for your goals.

Downtime is usually minimal. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days. Most patients return to daily activities immediately after treatment.

Ellansé works in two phases: Immediate effect: The CMC gel restores lost volume and enhances facial contours. Long-term effect: PCL microspheres gradually stimulate new collagen over several months, improving skin firmness and elasticity. This dual action makes Ellansé a powerful option for natural, long-lasting rejuvenation. Common uses include cheek augmentation, jawline contouring, deep wrinkle correction, and overall facial rejuvenation.

Ellansé should only be performed by fully qualified and medically registered practitioners, such as doctors or nurse prescribers trained in aesthetic medicine. This ensures proper understanding of anatomy, safe injection technique, and early recognition of rare complications.

A treatment takes approximately 30-45 minutes and with no downtime required, you can go straight back to your normal daily life afterwards.

Your practitioner might decide to use Lidocaine Anaesthetic Injections in the cannula entry points to minimise discomfort during the treatment. Local anaesthetic injections are not always required, your practitioner will discuss all the process during your complimentary consultation prior to the treatment.

It is recommended to avoid hot bathing and vigorous exercise for 24 hours and over-exposure to the sun and UV light for 1 week following treatment.

As with any injection there may be side effects such as localised redness, swelling and bruising which will usually subside between 2-10 days following your treatment. For more information, please speak to your practitioner.
