Ellanse Fillers in Bristol with Dr Brad

Get Ellansé™ Collagen-Stimulating Dermal Fillers in Bristol
Long-Lasting, Natural Facial Rejuvenation — Doctor-Led Treatment
Ellansé™ is an advanced collagen-stimulating dermal filler designed for patients who want natural-looking facial rejuvenation that lasts significantly longer than traditional fillers.
Unlike standard hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers that simply add temporary volume, Ellansé works in two phases: it provides immediate structural support, then gradually stimulates your own collagen production, improving skin quality, firmness and contour over time.
At my Bristol clinic, Ellansé is used selectively and conservatively as part of a doctor-led facial ageing strategy, not a “one-size-fits-all” filler approach.
What Is Ellansé and How Is It Different?
Ellansé is a biostimulatory dermal filler made from polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres suspended in a smooth carrier gel.
-
The gel delivers immediate volume and contour
-
The PCL microspheres trigger gradual collagen regeneration
-
Over time, the gel is absorbed and replaced by your own collagen
The result is a natural, progressive improvement in facial structure and skin quality that evolves with your face rather than sitting artificially on top of it.
Key differences vs traditional fillers:
-
Lasts 1–4 years, depending on the formulation used
-
Improves skin quality, not just volume
-
Requires fewer repeat treatments
-
Ages more naturally over time
This makes Ellansé particularly attractive to patients who are frustrated with frequent top-ups or who want a more structural, long-term solution to facial ageing.
Who Is Ellansé Best Suited For?
Ellansé is not a beginner filler and is not suitable for every patient — which is exactly why careful assessment matters.
Ellansé may be ideal if you:
-
Have age-related volume loss in the mid-face or lower face
-
Want longer-lasting results than HA fillers
-
Prefer gradual, natural collagen-driven improvement
-
Are looking for structural support rather than soft volumisation
-
Have had fillers before and want a more durable option
It is particularly effective for:
-
Cheek volume restoration
-
Jawline definition
-
Chin projection
-
Nasolabial folds
-
Marionette lines
-
Facial contouring and support
Who Is NOT Suitable for Ellansé?
Ellansé is not reversible, so patient selection is critical.
I will usually advise against Ellansé if:
-
You are new to dermal fillers
-
You want frequent changes or experimentation
-
You are seeking lip enhancement
-
You are anxious about long-term commitment
-
You want a very soft or temporary result
In these cases, hyaluronic acid fillers are often more appropriate.
Being selective protects both your safety and your outcome — and is a key reason patients seek doctor-led treatment rather than high-street filler clinics.
Ellansé vs Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
| Feature | Ellansé | HA Fillers |
|---|---|---|
| Longevity | 1–4 years | 6–18 months |
| Collagen stimulation | Yes | No |
| Reversible | No | Yes |
| Maintenance | Low | Moderate–high |
| Skin quality improvement | Yes | Limited |
Ellansé is not “better” — it is different.
The best results often come from using the right filler for the right indication, not forcing one product to do everything.
What Results Can I Expect?
Most patients notice:
-
Immediate improvement in contour and support
-
Gradual improvement in skin firmness and quality over 3–6 months
-
Results that remain stable and natural-looking over time
Because Ellansé stimulates your own collagen, the outcome tends to age gracefully, rather than deflating suddenly as some fillers do.
Subtlety is key. The goal is restoration and support, not obvious volume.
The Treatment Process
Consultation
Every Ellansé treatment begins with a medical consultation. Your facial structure, skin quality, ageing pattern and expectations are assessed in detail before any decision is made.
Ellansé is recommended only when it is clearly the right option.
Treatment
-
Performed in-clinic by a qualified doctor
-
Typically 30–45 minutes
-
Local anaesthetic used for comfort
-
Precise placement in structural facial planes
Recovery
-
Mild swelling or tenderness is common
-
Bruising is possible but usually minimal
-
Most patients return to normal activity immediately
Safety and Expertise Matter with Ellansé
Because Ellansé is long-lasting and not dissolvable, experience matters more than ever.
At my Bristol clinic:
-
I personally assess and treat every patient
-
Ellansé is used conservatively and selectively
-
Facial anatomy and long-term ageing are central to planning
-
Patient safety always comes before sales
This is not a treatment to rush into — and not one that should be offered casually.
