What is Ellanse (洢莲丝 “少女针”)?
Ellanse is a collagen stimulating filler that provides immediate and long lasting results. It is used to reverse facial aging and improve loose skin by restoring collagen and volume that has been lost due to the aging process. It is used to lift and sculpt areas of the face including the forehead, temples, cheeks, nasolabial fold and chin. In recent years it has been gaining popularity especially in the Chinese market, where it is known as 少女针 “young woman’s injection”. Unlike most other dermal fillers which contain hyaluronic acid and last for 9-12 months, Ellanse contains Polycaprolactone (PCL)- a potent collagen stimulator that promotes new collagen formation in the area of treatment, with long lasting results of over 24 months. The ideal candidate for Ellanse is someone who has had hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers before, liked the result and is seeking a treatment that is more long lasting.
How does Ellanse (洢莲丝 “少女针”) work?
Ellanse is a dermal filler that contains 30% polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres suspended in a 70% Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) gel carrier. The CMC gel provides an immediate but short-lived (8-12 weeks) volume restoration of the treated area, while the PCL microspheres break down over the next 8-12 weeks to stimulate collagen production in the skin to provide a natural and long-lasting (1-4 years) improvement in facial volume and skin quality.
The PCL microspheres in Ellanse have a unique property – they stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that aids in the preservation of skin structure and elasticity. Over time, as the PCL microspheres gradually break down, they trigger the body’s natural collagen production process. This collagen production helps to rejuvenate and restore the skin from within.
The collagen that is produced as a result of Ellanse treatment replaces the gel carrier, providing long-lasting improvements to the treated area. The combination of immediate volumization and ongoing collagen stimulation creates a natural and rejuvenated appearance.
By using specialized transducers, Ulthera can precisely direct ultrasound energy to specific depths beneath the skin—namely, 4.5mm, 3mm, and 1.5mm. Focusing energy into concentrated points within the thermal coagulation zones allows temperatures under the skin to surpass 60°C.
This elevated temperature initiates a process known as neo-collagenesis in the targeted area, stimulating the production of new collagen, and reduced skin laxity, resulting in a firmer and more youthful appearance.
At 1.5mm
The focus at 1.5mm targets the dermis, addressing more superficial layers and areas with thinner skin, such as the forehead and temples. This effectively addresses fine lines and tightens the skin on the dermis.
At 3.0mm
The focus at 3.0mm transducers address the deep layers of the dermis, targeting the skin structure to stimulate collagen growth. Additionally, at this depth, it also targets fat.
At 4.5mm
The magic of lifting takes place at a depth of 4.5mm. Using the 4.5mm transducer, the physician can precisely target and treat the Subcutaneous Musculo-Aponeurotic System (SMAS) layer. The SMAS is a crucial fibrous network comprising muscle, collagen, and elastic fibres—the very layer targeted by plastic surgeons during a surgical facelift.

Results were definitely very apparent and fast
Very good service from Dr Bernard! He sat me down for a long, thorough consultation and explanation of not just the service I was interested in, but of other similar treatments just so I could make a better comparison and final decision, with no pressure into deciding anything on the spot as well. Tried Ultherapy and Pico Sure Laser treatments on two different occasions, and each time I felt very well taken care of. I’m scared of pain, but the team and Dr Bernard always knew how to minimize any pain and ensure I always felt good with his steady hands. Results were definitely very apparent and fast. ...read more read less
