Ellanse

Firmer Skin and a Fresher-Looking Face

What is the Ellansé treatment?

Ellansé is a collagen biostimulator treatment made of polycaprolactone (PCL) that helps the body produce natural collagen. Collagen is an important part of the skin that helps it feel firm, dense, and supple. As we age, the amount of collagen in the body decreases, so skin can start to sag, lines and folds appear, and the shape of the face seems to change.

What concerns can it help with?

Ellansé can help improve signs of aging such as:

• Skin that is starting to sag
• Cheeks that look lower or have lost density
• A face that looks more hollow from volume loss
• Facial lines and folds that are starting to show
• Facial shape or contour that looks less defined
• Skin that feels less firm and supple

How does Ellansé work?

After it is injected into the treatment area, the active ingredient in Ellansé, Polycaprolactone (PCL), stimulates the body to form new collagen. This process happens gradually, not like a result you see in a single day. As new collagen forms, your skin can look:

• Firmer
• Denser
• More supple
• Smoother
• With a fresher-looking face
• With a more structured face shape

Who is Ellansé for?

Ellansé can be a choice for adult patients who are starting to have:

• Sagging skin
• Skin that feels less firm
• Loss of volume in the face
• Facial lines or folds
• Facial contour that is starting to look less defined

However, not everyone needs Ellansé. The doctor will first examine your skin condition and face shape to decide whether Ellansé suits the patient’s needs.

How long is the procedure and is there recovery time?

The treatment usually takes about 45–60 minutes, depending on the area treated and the number of procedures needed. During the treatment, the doctor injects the areas that have been decided on.

After the treatment, your skin may have some temporary reactions such as:

• Redness
• Swelling
• Bruising
• Pain or discomfort
• Slight sensitivity in the injected area

These complaints can differ for each person and usually improve gradually.

Some patients can return to their activities after the treatment, but the doctor may set certain activity limits during the early recovery period.

How many treatments are needed?

The number of Ellansé treatments is not the same for everyone. In some patients, the treatment can be done in 1 session, while other patients may need additional sessions depending on their facial condition and the result they want.

When do results start to show?

Ellansé results show gradually. A rough timeline:

• Days 0–3: The shape or volume in the treated area can start to show. However, there may still be swelling, redness, or bruising so the result cannot yet be judged as final.
• Days 4–14: Swelling and post-injection reactions usually start to ease. The face shape starts to look more stable.
• Weeks 3–4: Changes in the skin start to look clearer. Skin can feel denser, more supple, and firmer.
• Months 2–3: Collagen forms gradually, so improvement in skin quality and firmness can become more visible.
• Months 3–6: Results can look more optimal as collagen formation continues.

Timing and results can differ for each person, depending on skin condition, the area treated, the amount of product, and each person’s body response.

Can Ellansé be combined with other treatments?

Ellansé can be combined with other treatments if needed.

For example:

Ellansé +	Patient Condition	Goal of the Combination
Ellansé + HA Filler	The face looks more hollow, cheeks have lost volume, or there are parts of the face you want to make more balanced	Helps collagen formation to improve skin quality and corrects parts of the face that look more hollow and less attractive.
Ellansé + Botulinum Toxin	There are wrinkles from frequent facial movement, or the jaw looks large because of muscle	The face looks fresh, wrinkle-free, and more attractive.
Ellansé + Ultralift	The face is starting to look saggy, cheeks are dropping, or the jawline is starting to look less clear	Helps make the face look firmer and more defined
Ellansé + Hollywood Face Sculpting/RF	Skin is starting to sag, feels less firm, and the face looks less fresh	Helps collagen formation and increases skin firmness.
Ellansé + Laser	The face is starting to lose firmness and the skin surface looks rough, dull, or has many fine lines	Ellansé helps from within through collagen formation, while laser helps improve the look of the skin surface
Ellansé + Skin Booster	The face is starting to sag but the skin also feels dry, dull, or less smooth	Helps skin look more hydrated, smooth, and fresh while also helping increase skin density
Ellansé + Eye Area Treatment	The face is starting to look tired because the area around the eyes looks hollow or has fine lines	Improves the look of the face so it looks fresher

What to know before and after the treatment?

Before the treatment

Tell the doctor if you:

• Have allergies
• Are taking medication or supplements
• Have certain health conditions
• Have a skin infection or inflammation
• Have had fillers or other injection treatments
• Have had a reaction after a previous treatment

This information is important so the doctor can decide whether the treatment is safe and suitable.

After the treatment

To help your recovery:

• Do not press or massage the injected area without the doctor’s guidance
• Avoid strenuous exercise for a while as the doctor instructs
• Avoid saunas and excessive heat
• Avoid activities that can put too much pressure on the treated area
• Use skincare as the doctor advises
• Use sunscreen regularly
• Follow all aftercare instructions

If an unusual complaint appears, gets worse, or does not improve, contact the doctor right away.

Consult a GLOSKIN Doctor

Every face has a different shape, skin condition, and need. So the doctor needs to look at your skin condition, face shape, the parts that have lost volume, and the degree of skin laxity before deciding on a treatment.

A GLOSKIN doctor will help decide:

• Whether Ellansé suits you
• Which areas need care
• How much product is needed
• How many treatments are needed
• Whether it needs to be combined with other treatments

The goal is to get results that suit the patient’s facial condition.
