As the years pass, our skin naturally begins to lose its youthful fullness, firmness, and glow. While hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers have long been trusted for adding volume and smoothing lines, a new class of injectables is gaining attention: Ellansé collagen stimulator, known in Mandarin as 少女针 (Youth Fillers). Unlike conventional fillers, these treatments do more than fill—they activate your body’s collagen production for progressive, lasting rejuvenation.
What Is Ellansé Collagen-Stimulator?
Ellansé Collagen Stimulators are injectable treatments that contain biodegradable polycaprolactone microspheres within a smooth gel. Unlike traditional HA fillers that offer temporary volume through water-binding effects, Ellansé collagen stimulator take a longer-term approach. After injection, they not only provide immediate structural support but also act as a framework that triggers collagen production over the following months.
In Singapore, their appeal lies in their subtle, progressive results that improve skin quality from within. Instead of offering instant, sometimes unnatural volume, Ellansé collagen stimulator helps the skin restore its own youthful structure, enhancing elasticity and volume in a way that looks and feels natural.
Why Choose Ellansé Over Traditional Fillers?
Ellansé collagen-stimulator stands out because they treat the root causes of ageing. Whereas HA fillers primarily serve as a temporary fix by filling space and hydrating the skin, Ellansé collagen stimulators stimulate the production of new collagen. This means results develop more gradually, but with deeper and more sustained impact.
HA fillers deliver quick results but usually wear off in six to twelve months. Ellansé collagen stimulator, on the other hand, can last for twenty-four months or more. More importantly, they leave behind a framework of natural collagen that continues to support the skin even after the filler has metabolised. While HA filler is reversible with an enzyme, Ellansé collagen stimulator is not, so proper placement by an experienced doctor is essential for optimal results.
Where Can Ellansé Be Injected?
Ellansé collagen stimulators are best used in areas of the face that benefit from structural support and long-term collagen regeneration. The temples, for instance, tend to hollow with age, giving a gaunt appearance. Injecting Ellansé collagen stimulators in this area restores fullness and subtly lifts the brows. The cheeks, too, benefit from volume restoration, bringing back mid-face projection and contour.
In the jawline and chin, Ellansé collagen stimulators help reshape the lower face by adding definition and reducing early signs of jowling. Even the forehead, which can appear sunken or uneven due to volume loss, can be gently refined with Ellansé collagen stimulator, creating a smoother and more harmonious profile. These deep injection sites are ideal for collagen-stimulating effects, resulting in firmer, more youthful skin.
How Do Ellansé Collagen Stimulators Work?
Once injected, the gel carrier offers an immediate lift by filling out hollow or sagging areas. But the real magic begins in the weeks and months that follow. The polycaprolactone microspheres activate fibroblasts—cells responsible for collagen production—creating a slow but steady improvement in skin structure and resilience. As the microspheres gradually degrade, newly formed collagen takes their place, maintaining the firmness and shape of the treated area.
This dual mechanism—instant support and long-term collagen stimulation—makes Ellansé uniquely suited for those who want their aesthetic improvements to evolve naturally over time.
What to Expect During Treatment
The treatment process begins with a detailed consultation to assess your facial anatomy, skin concerns, and aesthetic goals. After cleansing the skin and applying a topical anaesthetic, the doctor will carefully inject the filler using either a fine needle or a blunt-tipped cannula. The technique and placement are tailored to the area being treated and the results you hope to achieve.
You might experience some mild swelling, redness, or bruising after the injections, but these effects are typically short-lived. Over the following weeks, you’ll start to notice improvements in skin texture, lift, and overall facial harmony, with results becoming more defined as your body produces new collagen.
Who Is It Best For?
Ellansé collagen stimulators are especially well-suited for individuals in their 30s to 50s who are beginning to notice facial ageing but are not yet ready for surgical intervention. If you’re seeing early signs of skin laxity, volume loss in areas like the cheeks or temples, or diminished definition in your jawline, this treatment can offer a natural and long-lasting improvement.
They are ideal for those who prefer gradual, understated enhancements that blend seamlessly with their features. Because of their structural properties, Ellansé are not typically used in mobile or delicate areas like the lips or under the eyes. In those cases, softer, reversible HA fillers are more appropriate.
Can It Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Yes, Ellansé collagen stimulators are often part of a comprehensive rejuvenation plan. They can be used alongside botulinum toxin to address dynamic wrinkles, or combined with face lifting ultrasound treatments such as HIFU or Ultherapy to tighten skin. Where hydration and fine-line reduction are needed—especially in areas unsuitable for Ellansé—HA fillers or skinboosters may be added to the regimen. This layered approach ensures that each treatment complements the others, delivering enhanced overall results without sacrificing safety.
How Long Do Results Last?
The longevity of Ellansé is one of their biggest advantages. Ellanse M Collagen Stimulator lasts for 2 – 3 years. Factors like treatment area, metabolism, lifestyle habits, and skincare routine all influence how long results last. As collagen production increases, the skin becomes firmer and more resilient, maintaining the benefits of the filler long after the gel has broken down. Patients may choose to repeat the treatment after 2 years to extend the rejuvenation effect and collagen production.
