Polycaprolactone microspheres give support straight away and prompt new collagen as the carrier gel is absorbed. At IN Eternity Clinic it is planned for where structure is needed, not as a general filler.
WhatsApp to Enquire →Key facts ↓Ellansé is made of tiny, smooth polycaprolactone spheres carried in a gel. The gel provides the initial shape. Over the following weeks it is absorbed, and the body forms collagen around the spheres, which are themselves broken down slowly over time.
Because the support shifts from gel to collagen, what you see in the first days is not the end point. Dr Sin Yong plans the dose around the expected collagen response, which is why less is placed than a first-time patient might expect.
For the nose, chin and jawline, Dr Sin Yong usually prefers a structural product such as polycaprolactone or calcium hydroxylapatite over hyaluronic acid alone. Placement is deep and in small amounts, and any previous filler is mapped with ultrasound first so new product is not layered on old.
Ellansé is not used to fix heaviness caused by earlier filler. In that situation the existing product is assessed and, where possible, corrected first.
“With Ellansé, the gel is the opening act. The collagen that follows is the result, so the plan is built for that, not for day one.”
Swelling, bruising and tenderness are common in the first days. Nodules can occur, especially with superficial placement. As with any injectable, vascular complications are rare but serious, which is why anatomy and technique matter. It is not used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, over active skin infection, or in people with a history of severe reactions to its components.
No. Hyaluronidase only dissolves hyaluronic acid filler. That is why Ellansé is placed conservatively after assessment.
HA filler holds water to create volume and can be dissolved. Ellansé gives initial support from its gel and then prompts collagen; it cannot be dissolved.
It can be. For nose shaping Dr Sin Yong usually prefers a structural product such as polycaprolactone or calcium hydroxylapatite. Suitability depends on the nose and any previous procedures.
It varies between people and between the different Ellansé versions. Longevity is discussed for your case at consultation.
It is mapped with ultrasound first. Layering new product on old is a common cause of heaviness, so correction may come before anything is added.
People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, those with active infection or inflammation in the area, and anyone with a known allergy to its components.
