Treatment Overview
Ellansé is a bio-stimulating dermal filler composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Ellansé not only provides immediate volume but also stimulates long-term collagen production, enhancing skin firmness and elasticity. Depending on the formulation, results can last between 1–4 years.
Juvelook is a hybrid skin booster that combines polylactic acid (PLA) microspheres with hyaluronic acid (HA). It hydrates the skin immediately while promoting gradual collagen remodeling, improving skin density, texture, and radiance.
In Korean dermatology, Ellansé and Juvelook are often combined as part of advanced anti-aging protocols: Ellansé restores volume and structure, while Juvelook rejuvenates skin quality for firmer, healthier, and more youthful skin.
Purpose & Benefits
- Volume Restoration: Ellansé corrects hollow cheeks, temples, and midface volume loss.
- Structural Support: Provides lift and contour definition through collagen stimulation.
- Skin Rejuvenation: Juvelook improves elasticity, texture, and dermal hydration.
- Wrinkle Softening: Both treatments reduce fine lines and folds.
- Dual Action: Ellansé targets structural aging; Juvelook enhances dermal health.
- Non-Surgical Alternative: Mimics facelift-like effects with injectables only.
Ideal Candidates
- Men and women in their 30s–60s with volume loss and skin laxity.
- Individuals with sagging midface, hollowness, or contour irregularities.
- Patients with fine wrinkles, dullness, or loss of elasticity.
- Those seeking long-lasting, non-surgical rejuvenation.
- Patients who want both structural lift and improved dermal quality.
Possible Risks & Complications
- Ellansé: Temporary swelling, bruising, or tenderness at injection sites. Rare risk of nodules or unevenness if injected improperly.
- Juvelook: Redness, mild swelling, or bruising; rare risk of small lumps if not evenly distributed.
- Combination: Safe when performed by experienced dermatologists, though temporary sensitivity and mild swelling may occur.
Techniques Used
