Maintaining healthy skin can become trickier as we get older, and wrinkles and crow’s feet are more likely to set in. The reason behind this is a loss of collagen and elasticity, meaning that it’s harder for the skin to bounce back from all the mini muscle contractions that happen day to day.
Let's take a look at how Ellnse filler combats the impact of ageing. Versatile and long-lasting, there’s a number of benefits to using Ellnse Singapore and we’ve put together a guide on everything you need to know about this procedure.
Question 1:
WHAT IS ELLNSE PCL FILLER (少女针)?
Ellnse filler is a collagen stimulating cosmetic filler used to restore volume lost due to the ageing process. It can lift and sculpt targeted areas of the face, particularly where there is hollowing or volume loss.
ELLNSE 少女针
Dermal Fillers for Natural Collagen Stimulation. Ellnsé is made of polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres, mixed with a carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) gel carrier.
The gel delivers immediate results, while the PCL microspheres act as a biostimulator, to ramp up production of your own collagen over the next three months. This improves skin elasticity and creates a more youthful appearance.
Question 2:
HOW DOES ELLNSE FILLER (少女针) WORK?
Ellnse filler is composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres suspended in a carrier gel. When injected, the gel provides an immediate but temporary filling effect, while the PCL microspheres contribute to long‐term volume by stimulating new collagen production. As the carrier gel is absorbed in the first 6‐8 weeks, the loss in volume from the carrier gel is gradually replaced by buildup of collagen induced by the PCL.
Ellnse is a medical aesthetic procedure, that is administered with the use of syringes injected directly into your skin. As Ellnse enters your skin, its active ingredients work fibroblasts to stimulate collagen production.
Question 3:
WHAT IS ELLNSE USED FOR?
Ellnse is used in multiple areas of the body, including:
- Cheeks
- Forehead
- Jawline
- Chin
- Nose
- Hands
- Temple and brow
- Lower face
It’s an effective treatment against many types of conditions, such as nasolabial folds, wrinkles, sunken cheeks, a distorted jawline and much more.
Question 4:
ELLNSE TYPES
Ellnse types of PCL Collagen Stimulating fillers as follows (information from manufacturers):

- Ellnse-E – This type of filler lasts for 48 months or four years.
Patients can choose the longevity of their fillers accordingly. Commonly used are Ellnse S and Ellnse M
Question 5:
HOW LONG DOES ELLNSE PCL FILLER LAST?
Once the procedure is finished, you’ll benefit from long-lasting results of between 2 – 4 years depending on the type of Ellnse PCL filler used.
Question 6:
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR ELLNSE PCL COLLAGEN STIMULATING FILLER TO WORK?
You’ll see immediate results in terms of more volume, improved facial contour, or smoothing of deep folds.
Over the next three months, Ellnsé will continue to promote collagen stimulation, as your natural collagen production ramps up.
Question 7:
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ELLNSE PCL FILLER IN SINGAPORE?
Benefits of Ellnse Natural Collagen Stimulation Injection as follows:
- Combines immediate volume replacement with longer-term stimulation of collagen production.
- The newly produced collagen helps to rejuvenate and restore the skin from within, and provides long-lasting results.
- Restores a youthful appearance by providing immediate facial volume to areas which have been affected by age related volume loss such as the cheeks, temples, forehead and chin. It stimulates collagen to provide a long lasting and natural effect, with firming and tightening of the skin.
Question 8:
WHAT ARE ELLNSE PCL FILLER SIDE EFFECTS?
Side effects of Ellnse PCL filler as follows:
- Swelling and redness
- Pain and stinging sensations around the injection area
- Bleeding at the injection spot
- Numbness or itching
These side effects will usually go away within a matter of hours or days. But if they last for longer, then we advise you seek medical help.
It’s also important to note that you shouldn’t have the treatment if you have a history of allergic reactions, auto-immune conditions, skin inflammation, are receiving steroid treatment or if you’re pregnant.
Question 9:
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF ELLNSE PCL FILLER?
(1) Longer lasting than other hyaluronic acid fillers
Because Ellnse PCL filler helps boost your own collagen supply, you will see the visible effects for much longer than with HA-based dermal fillers. Typically, dermal fillers last between 6-12 months, depending on various factors. Ellnse Natural Collagen Stimulation Injection, however, creates a lift that can last for up to 2 years.
(2) Better volume over time
For the same reasons as above, you’ll notice that your skin stays smooth and supported for much longer than with other dermal fillers.
(3) More cost effective in the long run
Because your results last longer, it stands to reason that you will need less treatments over the years. This makes Ellnse PCL filler a more cost effective option when treating some skin concerns.
Question 10:
CAN ELLNSE PCL FILLER BE DISSOLVED? CAN ELLNSE PCL FILLER BE REVERSED?
Ellnse PCL Filler cannot be dissolved once it has been injected, unlike its HA-based counterparts. With this in mind, many patients prefer to start with a hyaluronic acid dermal filler first to ensure they are satisfied with the end look before moving onto Ellnse Natural Collagen Stimulating Injection.
Unlike hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Juvedrm and Restyane, Ellnsé PCL Filler can’t be dissolved early with hyaluronidase if you don’t like your result or have a complication.
If you’re not happy with your result or develop lumps, you’ll have to live with it until the filler is reabsorbed.
Question 11:
IS ELLNSE PCL FILLER (少女针）SAFE?
Ellnse PCL Filler has received approval for cosmetic use by Singapore’s HSA and Europe’s CE. The contents of ellnse- Polycaprolactone (PCL) and Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) are classified by US FDA as Generally Regarded as Safe.
Common injection-related side effects include inflammation, discomfort, mild swelling, or bruising (all of which can usually be covered by makeup). Most people have only mild reactions that resolve within a day or two.
Severe side effects are extremely rare, but they are possible, if your body reacts to the ingredients or if your treatment is performed by an unqualified injector. Some patients develop lumps that last as long as the filler does, but the impact is aesthetic rather than a safety concern.
All injectable fillers also carry a small risk of vascular occlusion, which happens when a provider accidentally injects filler into a blood vessel. This creates a blockage that can lead to tissue death. It’s a rare complication, but because this filler can’t be dissolved with hyaluronidase, it’s important to be treated by an experienced Dermatologist or Aesthetic Doctor with deep expertise in injectables and facial anatomy.
Question 12:
ELLNSE PCL FILLER SINGPORE REVIEW: IS THERE A DOWNSIDE TO ELLNSE POLYCAPROLACTONE FILLER?
Downside to Ellnse PCL Fillers as follows:
While Ellnse PCL Filler has many benefits, there are some considerations that need to be made before opting for treatment.
- Ellnse Collagen Stimulator is not dissolvable
Unlike its HA-based counterparts, Ellnse PCL filler can’t be dissolved once it has been injected. With this in mind, many patients prefer to start with a hyaluronic acid dermal filler first to ensure they are satisfied with the end look before moving onto Ellnse. - Unsuitable for some areas
As mentioned, Ellnse PCL filler isn’t suitable for areas where a dermal filler can’t go deep enough into the layers of the skin, such as the under eye area, eyelid or lips. However, Ellnse can be paired with other dermal fillers if you would like an all over facelift. Your aesthetic doctor will be able to advise you on how best to approach your treatment. - Doesn’t hydrate the skin
Ellnse PCL filler doesn’t hydrate the skin the way hyaluronic acid does, so you don’t get the same dewy glow.
Question 13:
ELLNSE PCL FILLER VS DERMAL FILLERS: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
Difference between Ellnse PCL Filler and Dermal Fillers are as follows:
Ellnse is different than other dermal fillers because it’s made from polycaprolactone microspheres which dissolve in a unique way. When it’s injected into the body, it goes through a reabsorption process where the compounds break down gradually.
Throughout this process, the microspheres maintain their original volume until every molecule has been dissolved. This also applies to the longevity of the treatment, as results are dependent on the number of molecules within the spheres.
So, the more molecules there are, the longer the results will last.
