The only collagen stimulator that delivers immediate volume correction AND progressive regeneration lasting 1-4 years
Ellans is a next-generation injectable filler manufactured by Sinclair Pharma (now part of Huons Group). Unlike conventional HA fillers, Ellans combines a carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) gel carrier - which provides immediate, reversible volume correction - with polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres that stimulate the body's own collagen production for long-lasting regenerative results. It is the only filler that allows practitioners to precisely tailor longevity - from 1 year (Ellans-S) to 4 years (Ellans-E) - through formulation selection.

Ellans represents a genuine advancement in injectable aesthetics. Unlike pure HA fillers that simply replace volume or pure collagen stimulators that require patience for results, Ellans delivers both - simultaneously. Its CMC gel carrier provides instant, visible volume correction at the time of injection, while its PCL microspheres slowly stimulate the body's own neocollagenesis for progressive, long-lasting tissue improvement.
Most remarkably, Ellans is the only injectable filler that allows practitioners to precisely select longevity. With four formulations offering approximately 1, 2, 3, or 4 years of results, Ellans enables tailored treatment planning to suit individual patient preferences, lifestyle, and anatomy - from first-time patients (Ellans-S) to experienced patients seeking maximum duration (Ellans-E).

The entry-level formulation. Ideal for first-time Ellans patients, areas requiring shorter-duration correction, or practitioners who prefer a conservative approach with new patients. The CMC gel is absorbed quickly after injection, and the PCL microspheres stimulate collagen for approximately 12 months before being fully biodegraded. $380.00/syringe.
The most popular formulation. Offers an excellent balance of longevity, cost-effectiveness, and predictability. Ideal for mid-face volumization, jawline definition, cheek augmentation, and nasolabial fold correction in patients who have experienced Ellans-S or who are confident in their desired outcome. $460.00/syringe.
For patients seeking premium longevity and value. Particularly suited to structural facial zones - cheekbones, temples, jawline - where sustained lift and projection are desired over multiple years. Best reserved for patients with established Ellans experience and clear aesthetic goals. $560.00/syringe.
Maximum longevity. Reserved for experienced Ellans patients with well-established aesthetic goals who want to minimize the frequency of maintenance treatments. Requires careful patient selection and thorough consent regarding the 4-year duration. $680.00/syringe.
Ellans suits patients seeking natural-looking, long-lasting facial volumization with the added benefit of progressive collagen stimulation. Its four formulations make it uniquely adaptable to a wide range of patients - from conservative first-timers to experienced patients wanting years of sustained results.

No. Unlike HA fillers, Ellans cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase. The PCL microspheres are biodegradable but cannot be removed once injected. This is why careful patient selection, thorough consultation, and precise injection technique are essential. Practitioners must ensure patients fully understand and consent to the selected formulation's longevity.
Both are collagen stimulators, but they differ significantly. Sculptra (PLLA) requires multiple treatment sessions and provides no immediate volume - results develop gradually over 3-6 months. Ellans (PCL) provides immediate volume correction with its CMC carrier gel, alongside progressive collagen stimulation. Ellans also offers four formulations for tailored longevity, whereas Sculptra results last approximately 2 years.
For first-time Ellans patients, Ellans-S (~1 year) or Ellans-M (~2 years) is generally recommended. Starting with a shorter-duration formulation allows both patient and practitioner to assess results and satisfaction before committing to longer-duration options. Ellans-L and Ellans-E are best reserved for experienced patients with established aesthetic goals.
Ellans is primarily indicated for mid-face volumization - cheeks, nasolabial folds, and facial contour. It is also used for jawline definition, chin augmentation, and temple volumization. It should be injected into the deep dermis or subcutaneous tissue using standard filler techniques. It is not indicated for lip augmentation or superficial injections.
Patients see an immediate result from the CMC gel carrier at the time of injection. As the CMC gel is gradually absorbed (over several weeks), the PCL microspheres progressively stimulate collagen production. The final result - fully collagen-supported - typically becomes apparent approximately 3-4 months after treatment and is sustained for the duration selected by the formulation choice.
