Program Ellansé — PCL Collagen Stimulator

Immediate volume, then collagen you built yourself

What is Program Ellansé?
A collagen biostimulator, not a hyaluronic acid filler: 30% polycaprolactone microspheres suspended in 70% carboxymethyl cellulose gel. The gel gives volume immediately and resorbs over two to three months; the PCL prompts your own type I collagen to take its place.

Polycaprolactone has been used for absorbable surgical sutures for over twenty years, so its behaviour in human tissue has a longer record than most aesthetic products. Ellansé places it deep — on bone or under muscle, not superficially — where it suits temples, midface, jawline and chin.

What holds the tissue up at month twelve is your own collagen, not the product. It is worth being clear about the trade: unlike an HA filler, Ellansé cannot be dissolved with an enzyme.

You wait for your body to resorb it. That makes the choice of injector, plane and volume weigh more than it would elsewhere.

Common questions
Is Ellansé approved by the US FDA?+
No. Ellansé has held a CE Mark in Europe since 2009 and is registered with the Thai FDA, but it has never been approved by the US FDA and is not sold in the United States. The reason is procedural rather than safety-related: the FDA requires at least 24 months of follow-up plus histological evidence of how the material breaks down in human tissue, and the manufacturer has not pursued it. Any clinic page claiming US FDA approval for Ellansé is incorrect. What matters for a patient in Thailand is the Thai FDA registration number on the box.
Can Ellansé be dissolved if I do not like the result?+
No. Hyaluronidase breaks down hyaluronic acid only and has no effect on polycaprolactone or on the CMC gel. If a problem develops, the options are intralesional corticosteroid, collagenase, or surgical removal, depending on what the problem is. This single fact should weigh more heavily in your decision than price or duration, and it is why the injector's specific experience with PCL matters more here than with a standard filler.
Which Ellansé variant is available in Thailand?+
S. Ellansé is made in four variants — S, M, L and E — which differ only in how long the body takes to break the polymer down. In Thailand the registered and available variant is S, lasting roughly 12–18 months. If a clinic offers you M, L or E, ask to see the Thai FDA registration number on that specific box.
Why does the result seem to fade at around two months?+
Because it does, briefly. The CMC gel that gives immediate fullness is resorbed over the first two to three months, while the collagen your body builds around the PCL particles is not yet fully formed. Weeks 6 to 10 are the dip between the two, and it is the point at which most patients conclude the treatment has failed and ask for more product too early. It is expected. Assess the real result at month three to four.
What happens if a lump forms?+
Small palpable irregularities in the first fortnight often settle on their own or with massage as directed. A persistent nodule can be treated with intralesional corticosteroid, and there is a published case series describing collagenase used to dissolve Ellansé nodules; surgical removal is a last resort. Ask any clinic what its protocol is, and whether managing it is included, before you book. Seek immediate medical attention for severe pain, blanching or mottled skin, or any visual disturbance — these may indicate vascular occlusion, which is an emergency.
How much does it cost?+
฿25,000–30,000 per 1 cc syringe. A 2 cc programme is ฿49,999. The volume you actually need depends on the concern — 1–2 cc for a single area such as chin or temples, 2–4 cc for midface and jawline. Pricing follows medical assessment.
