Description
Ellansé® M 2 × 1 mL Dermal Filler
Ellansé® M is an injectable polycaprolactone (PCL)-based dermal filler medical device developed for the correction of facial wrinkles, folds, and contour deficiencies, while also providing long-term collagen stimulation. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, Ellanse dermal filler contains biodegradable PCL microspheres suspended in a carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) gel carrier. This formulation provides immediate volumisation followed by progressive neocollagenesis as the PCL component is gradually resorbed.
Upon injection, the gel carrier delivers instant correction, while the PCL microspheres stimulate the body’s natural collagen production over time. Ellanse M represents the medium-duration option within the Ellansé range, designed for patients seeking extended longevity compared with the S version.
What Ellansé® M Is Similar To
Ellansé M can be regarded alongside other biostimulatory dermal fillers that combine structural volumisation with collagen stimulation. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which rely solely on gel volume, Ellanse works by supporting tissue regeneration through controlled biodegradation of PCL microspheres.
Compared with Ellansé S, the M version offers a longer duration profile. Due to its composition and mechanism of action, it is not interchangeable with hyaluronic acid fillers. This comparison is provided for clinical orientation only and does not imply interchangeability.
Treatment Areas / Indications
According to manufacturer documentation, Ellansé M is indicated for correction of facial wrinkles and folds and for restoration of facial volume.

Nasolabial folds • Marionette lines • Cheeks • Chin • Jawline • Facial contours
→ Ellansé M is generally selected for structural correction and collagen stimulation rather than superficial fine-line treatment.
