The Regenerating Edit
Ellansé
Structure with Substance
Ellansé offers both immediate volume, contour and enduring strength. It is an injectable treatment that works with your body to rebuild natural support in the skin, rather than simply adding volume. It gives an immediate improvement, then encourages your own collagen to keep building over time. Dr Vix Manning has worked with Ellansé for over 13 years and is a UK and global trainer for the brand.
How it works
Ellansé works in two stages. Straight away, its CMC gel provides an immediate yet natural lift. Over the following weeks, the polycaprolactone microspheres gradually transform into a collagen stimulating matrix, rebuilding the skin's internal scaffolding so it is firm, resilient, and beautifully redefined. The product is fully broken down by your body over time, leaving behind the new collagen it has helped create.
Who it is for
Ellansé suits anyone noticing early to moderate volume loss in the cheeks, temples, jawline or chin, and anyone wanting a longer lasting result than a typical filler. It is particularly suited for full face rejuvenation, jawline contouring, chin definition, and cheek augmentation. It is not suitable in the hands, during pregnancy or breastfeeding. As a collagen stimulator, it is also not recommended if you have an underlying autoimmune condition.
What to expect
After a consultation with Dr Vix Manning, treatment takes around 30 to 45 minutes, with numbing cream or local anaesthetic for comfort. You will see an immediate improvement, with your results continuing to build over the next 6 to 12 weeks. Ellansé typically lasts around 2 years.

Frequently asked questions
How long does Ellansé last?
Around 2 years, which is longer than most hyaluronic acid fillers.
Does Ellansé look natural?
Yes. Because it builds gradually using your own collagen, results look natural rather than overfilled.
Is the treatment painful?
Most people find it comfortable with numbing cream or local anaesthetic. Mild swelling or bruising is normal afterwards.
Can Ellansé be dissolved?
No, unlike hyaluronic acid fillers it cannot be dissolved. This is why careful treatment planning with Dr Vix Manning matters.
How many sessions will I need?
Many people get the result they want from one session, though some choose a second session 8 to 12 weeks later to build on the first.
