Contour plastic Ellanse / Elans. New generation biostimulating filler

In mid-2010, the Dutch company Aqtis Medical BV introduced a line of dermal fillers that are radically different from the contouring preparations available on the Russian market. The main component of Ellanse is not hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin, but a suspension of microspheres of polycaprolactone (30%) and carboxymethylcellulose (70%). Polycaprolactone has been used in surgery for more than 40 years and is well studied. Absorbable suture material, hemostatic drugs, matrices for tissue regeneration, etc. are prepared from it. Polycaprolactone microspheres have a regular spherical shape and have an absolutely smooth surface, which completely eliminates phagocytosis and avoids fibrosis. Thanks to these properties of the filler, Ellanse is evenly distributed in the tissues and does not migrate from the injection area, which makes the contouring procedure completely controlled and absolutely safe.

Ellanse is approved for use in the Russian Federation, has CE, FDA and ROSS certificates of conformity. In 2011, he was awarded by the international agency Frost&Sullivan in the category “The most innovative dermal filler”.

Composition and benefits of the drug

Ellans contains polycaprolactone, a biodegradable polyester. For medical purposes, this substance is often used as a suture material, which over time can be completely absorbed from the body. In professional language, this property has a name - biodegradation.

In Ellans, polycaprolactone acts as a self-absorbing thermal implant that stimulates the growth of fibrous cells, replenishing the volume with its own substances. Biodegradation of Ellans in tissues can occur slowly and unnoticed over 3 years.

The main advantage of Ellanse is the stimulation of the natural formation of collagen fibers in the skin. Doctors have been using dermal fillers based on polycaprolactone for about 20 years. During this time, it has been repeatedly proven that this substance does not cause allergic reactions and does not cause complications, unlike hyaluronic acid. This drug can be safe for almost every person.

One of the advantages of Ellansa is its compatibility with other rejuvenation methods. To enhance the effect of contouring, you can additionally attend massage sessions, hardware cosmetology and other procedures. Severe signs of aging can be removed by the Ellanse procedure combined with laser rejuvenation.

The entire Ellans line passed certification in 2008, which is responsible for full compliance with all EU conditions and quality standards. The filler is also registered in the Russian Federation and approved for use by the Ministry of Health. The drug has undergone clinical and laboratory studies. Registration certificate Ellanse FSZ 2010/07732/.

Effect of Elance filler components

They work successfully even where the use of expensive creams and even the intervention of plastic surgeons remains ineffective.

The main component of this dermal filler is a suspension of polycaprolactone microspheres, which is quite well known in medicine as a material that dissolves sutures. It is completely eliminated from the body as soon as its effect ends.

Among the most identified advantages of this cosmetic product are its:

• duration of exposure (up to 4 years);
• complete safety for the body;
• quick results;
• high accuracy of correction.

Types of Ellanse and their characteristics

Most filler contour fillers vary in composition and application. Ellanse fillers give the patient the opportunity to independently choose the duration of the effect after the injection session. There are 4 types of fillers that preserve the result for different periods of time:

• Ellanse S – duration of action 1 year;
• Ellanse M – retains results for 20 months;
• Ellanse L – effective for 30 months;
• Ellanse E – injection lasts 3-4 years.

To begin with, you can choose an injection that retains the effect for a year, and after that you can give injections with a longer-lasting effect. The advantage of Ellans is that the effect does not fade away every month, but continues to work for the promised period. Ellans does not contain components of animal or bacterial origin, therefore the allergic reaction is minimal.

Indications for use

Filler Ellanse instantly fills deep and expression wrinkles, smoothes nasolabial folds, and evens out the skin. When a filler is introduced into the body, the natural process of neocollagen synthesis starts. Collagen fibers form a strong protection around each polycaprolactone molecule, thereby helping to give the skin a youthful and healthy appearance.

Ellanse filler is effective for:

• minor facial skin defects;
• scars that appear after injuries or acne;
• improving the shape of the lips or bridge of the nose, ears;

How does the procedure work?

Contour plastic surgery with Ellansome can only be performed by a specially trained specialist who has been trained and will receive a certificate in working with this drug. This can guarantee an excellent result and minimal risk of complications.

2. To reduce pain, the patient may be prescribed a local analgesic (ointment or lotion).
3. The filler is injected using a thin needle.
4. After the injection, the skin is treated with an antiseptic, and the patient receives recommendations from a specialist.

Ellanse contouring gives an immediate effect after administration of the drug. Fillers do not show through even under the lightest and thinnest skin.
