The first of a new class of filler designed to naturally regenerate collagen and restore volume and shape that has changes as you have aged. Using the body’s natural response to stimulate collagen, the effects of treatment are immediate followed by further gradual improvement. Ellansé™ offers predictable bio resorption too, maintaining your shape and contours for the duration of the product. There are 4 members of the Ellansé™ family (S, M, L, E) with a range of duration from 1-4 years.
Ellansé™ is developed, manufactured and marketed by AQTIS Medica BV based in Utrecht, Netherlands. Introduced to the UK in 2010 it is distributed by Sinclair. In 2011 Ellansé™ won the Frost & Sullivan European Technology Innovation of the year award.
Collagen stimulators fillers are not made from hyaluronic acid, but products that stimulate in a different way. Collagen is a naturally occurring protein found in your skin and body where it plays a key role, providing support and structure. As we age, we produce less collagen, leading to visible signs of ageing. Ellansé™ is a collagen stimulating filler that provides immediate volumisation followed by long-term collagen stimulation. The volumisation and correction of wrinkles is seen immediately after treatment, following which gradual stimulation of your own collagen production gives natural-looking and long-lasting result.
Ellansé™ is a safe and clinically proven synthetic dermal filler, composed of totally smooth polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres held in an aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) gel carrier.
PCL is a well known totally bioresorbable soft medical material used in numerous European (CE marked) and US food and dry administration (FDA) approved medical devices like biodegradable sutures and orthopaedic implants. It has an excellent safety profile.
CMC has also been used in numerous CE and FDA approved commercial product applications in medical cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries for several decades with an excellent safety profile.

Skin differs in its thickness and texture from one area to another. Different fillers are suitable for particular areas depending on the depth of the filler placement required to correct the volume loss or skin hydration.
Treatment is a safe and effective way of replacing lost volume, lifting and hydrating tired lined skin. Treatments enhance, define, lift and recontour areas where bone and fat changes have altered the facial structure. A combination approach gives the best natural results.
Dermal filler treatments vary by both volume and type of filler used to give the best results. We often get asked about the cost of treatment. At Thames Skin Clinic we pride ourselves on results rather than focus on the price of a treatment, it is more important that we get the correct quality of product rather than offer cut price treatments, products and services (especially when it comes to medical treatments). You will never see Thames Skin Clinic advertising services on social coupon sites such as Groupon as we believe they have a negative impact on our customer safety, results and satisfaction. We also wish to abide by the advertising regulator and work in a safe ethical manor.
Our prices reflect the skill, training and premier product choices we have made as well as the true reflection of the beautiful bespoke clinic surroundings.
