Signature Treatments
• Dual-Action Process: Ellanse sets itself apart with its unique two-stage action. Initially, it delivers immediate correction to the treated area, acting as a dermal filler. Then, it prompts the body’s own collagen production, leading to natural, more enduring aesthetic enhancement over time.
• Biocompatible and Absorbable: Ellanse is composed of Polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres in a gel carrier. PCL is a well-known bioresorbable soft medical polymer. It is biocompatible and will be completely resorbed by your body over time. This quality contributes to its long-lasting yet non-permanent effect, allowing for future treatment flexibility.
• Versatile Applications: The versatility of Ellanse offers a broad scope in aesthetic treatments. It can help address a range of concerns, from reducing the appearance of wrinkles and lines, restoring volume loss, to enhancing facial contours. Its adaptability allows it to cater to various facial aesthetic needs.
What Are Ellanse?
Ellanse operates on a unique, dual-action process that offers both immediate and long-lasting results. This two-fold action is the cornerstone of its efficacy and is what makes it stand out in the field of aesthetic treatments.
- Immediate Filling Effect: The first stage of the Ellanse treatment involves an immediate filling effect. As Ellanse is administered, the carrier gel containing Polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres works as a dermal filler, immediately providing volume and correcting the treated area. This generates an immediate visible enhancement, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, lines, or any volume loss.
- Stimulation of Collagen Production: The second stage of Ellanse treatment commences as the PCL microspheres stimulate neocollagenesis, the production of new collagen in your body. By stimulating the body’s own collagen production, Ellanse works to counteract the signs of aging in a more enduring way. This process continues over time, allowing for the gradual improvement of skin quality and structural integrity.
- Bioresorption of PCL Microspheres: The active ingredient in Ellanse, Polycaprolactone (PCL), is a soft medical polymer that is completely bioresorbable. Over time, the PCL microspheres are naturally broken down and absorbed by your body. This attribute ensures that the treatment effect is long-lasting but not permanent.
Application Of Ellanse Treatments
Ellanse treatments can be considered for a variety of purposes to help individuals achieve their aesthetic goals. From combating the natural aging process to addressing specific cosmetic concerns, Ellanse treatments offer a range of applications. These treatments combine immediate results with long-lasting effects. Here are some typical uses:
- Restoring Facial Volume: With age, the loss of collagen and subcutaneous fat can lead to a reduction in facial volume. For many people, loss of facial volume can be a concern, often resulting in a tired or aged appearance. Ellanse treatments can help to restore this lost volume, especially in areas like the cheeks, under the eyes, and around the mouth. The treatment can provide a natural-looking improvement in facial volume, offering a fresher, more youthful look.
- Correcting Lines and Wrinkles: Over time, as skin elasticity diminishes, lines and wrinkles can become more prominent. These might appear as laugh lines, crow’s feet, or forehead creases. By stimulating collagen production and instantly providing volume, Ellanse treatments can assist in reducing the appearance of these lines and wrinkles. The result is smoother, younger-looking skin.
- Improving Skin Quality and Texture: Beyond volume restoration and wrinkle reduction, Ellanse treatments can also enhance the overall quality and texture of the skin through the stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. This collagen production can help improve skin elasticity and firmness, resulting in smoother, more radiant skin over time.
