Ellansé

Polycaprolactone microspheres that fill now and build collagen — long-lasting, so we start conservatively.

Discomfort is rated after numbing (out of 5). Time, downtime and longevity vary with the treated area and the individual.

Also known as: Ellanse, PCL filler

Ellansé contains polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres in a gel: the gel fills immediately and collagen forms around the microspheres as they degrade. Versions differ in how long they last. It cannot be dissolved, so we recommend HA filler first for first-timers.

Doctor’s note

Ellansé lasts a long time, so the first plan matters. I’d rather add more later than overdo it now.
