Overview of Ellanse Worldwide

Ellanse, commonly known as the ” 少女針(Shōjo hari),” is a fully absorbable medical device that received CE certification from the European Union and approval from the US FDA for market release in 2009. It was introduced throughout Europe in 2010 and was honored with the “European Dermatology Innovation Technology Award” in 2011. In 2015, Ellanse was approved by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and launched in Taiwan.

The product offers four versions provided by the manufacturer for consumers to choose from. These versions vary in longevity of effect, with the S version lasting one year, the M version lasting two years, the L version lasting three years, and the E version lasting four years. Currently, only the S and M versions are approved in Taiwan.

Advantages and Features of Ellanse

While there are many products for facial contouring and augmentation, Ellanse quickly gained acceptance among both physicians and customers after its market release, maintaining its prominent position. It’s got the advantages of other injectables while minimizing certain drawbacks.

Ellanse combines the characteristics of hyaluronic acid, regenerative materials, and RADIESSE. Like hyaluronic acid, it provides “immediate filling” effects, while also “stimulating collagen” production like RADIESSE and regenerative materials. However, unlike some materials that require continuous postoperative massage or waiting for autologous collagen to grow for 1-2 months before noticeable effects, Ellanse can be more widely used for lifting and contouring without these requirements.

The Mechanism of Ellanse

The Mechanism

of Ellanse

Ellanse primarily consists of 30% PCL (polycaprolactone) and 70% CMC-based gel carrier (Carboxymethylcellulose).

When Ellanse is used for filling, it is injected into the dermis layer of the concave area. The CMC-based gel carrier initially provides adequate support, resulting in an immediate filling effect on the skin. Once the CMC-based gel carrier is absorbed, the PCL microspheres continue to stimulate cells, inducing the proliferation of autologous collagen, along long-lasting effects.

The CMC-based gel carrier consists of smooth microcrystalline spheres with small particles, providing immediate filling support. It has high viscosity and elasticity, filling surface depressions of the skin and sculpting facial features. As the PCL microspheres are gradually absorbed by the body, they are replaced by naturally regenerated collagen, which helps the skin maintain its fullness and elasticity for a longer time.

↑ (Over time, the PCL microspheres are absorbed by the body, while the natural collagen gradually fills the space left by the spheres.)
