Many people say that their face looks sunken after losing weight, or that their under-eyes are deeply hollow, making them look tired. There are also many cases where people feel that the filler quickly subsides, so they are looking for a longer-lasting method. This article explains how Ellanse filler, which induces self-collagen production, differs from existing fillers and what to check before the procedure.

Ellanse is a filler made of PLC components, and it is a product certified by the US FDA and European CE. Its characteristic is that it not only provides an immediate volume effect after injection but also induces self-collagen production over time.

• Provides immediate volume right after injection.
• You can expect more natural volume through self-collagen production.
• Wrinkle improvement effects through collagen regeneration are reported.
• A relatively long duration of 2 to 4 years is reported.

Commonly used hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are often pointed out for limitations such as unevenness, demarcation, and the Tyndall effect. Ellanse is a filler designed to compensate for these aspects. However, since the two products have different characteristics, what is suitable for which area depends on the individual's condition.

While this filler has many advantages, there are also clear points to be aware of. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be corrected by dissolving them with an enzyme if necessary, whereas Ellanse is difficult to correct in such a way. Therefore, consulting sufficiently with a specialist who has ample experience with the procedure is a way to increase satisfaction.

I once guided a patient in her 20s who was concerned about insufficient chin volume to chin filler. Approximately 2cc was injected, and the contour of her profile was naturally refined. A receding chin can often be corrected with around 1cc, but in some cases, more than 2cc may be needed depending on the condition. This was a case where a relatively simple procedure could resolve a long-standing concern.

If you are concerned about volume or contour, you can first check the direction that suits your current condition through chat consultation.

• 1:1 consultation tailored to individual conditions
• Use of genuine products and precise quantities
• Use of cannulas appropriate for the area

Through these processes, we prioritize naturalness and safety in performing procedures.

Ellanse is a filler that is reported to have advantages in terms of duration and collagen regeneration, but due to its characteristic of being difficult to correct, sufficient consultation is even more important. Since the area, volume, and suitability vary from person to person, we recommend clarifying any questions you may have through chat consultation before making a decision. You can confirm the direction suitable for your condition through a face-to-face consultation with Dr. Choi Byeong-geun.
