Description
PACK MIX ELLANSÉ (ELLANSÉ S + ELLANSÉ M) by AQTIS Medical / Sinclair is a professional-use mix pack of two polycaprolactone (PCL)–based collagen-stimulating dermal fillers. The pack contains one box of Ellansé S (2 × 1 ml prefilled syringes) and one box of Ellansé M (2 × 1 ml prefilled syringes) for subdermal implantation in the face to restore lost volume, correct wrinkles and facial ageing signs, and contour facial features. Ellansé products combine immediate volumising from a carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) gel carrier with long-lasting neocollagenesis induced by smooth PCL microspheres, providing visible, natural-looking results that typically last around 1 year for Ellansé S and up to 2 years for Ellansé M. The fillers are CE-marked Class III medical devices, non-animal, bioresorbable and designed exclusively for use by trained healthcare professionals in medical aesthetic practice.
Bnefits
Immediate correction of facial wrinkles, folds and volume loss with visible results after a single treatment session
Long-lasting performance: Ellansé S typically around 12 months and Ellansé M up to approximately 24 months, depending on patient factors
Biostimulatory effect via polycaprolactone microspheres that stimulate the body’s own type I collagen production for sustained improvement in skin density, firmness and elasticity
Restores and enhances facial contours (cheeks, chin, jawline, temples, nose bridge) with natural-looking volume
Fully bioresorbable and biocompatible implant composed of smooth PCL microspheres in a CMC gel carrier
Soft, homogeneous gel for predictable placement and good tissue integration using standard dermal filler techniques
Designed to maintain full correction for the intended duration before gradual resorption

Usage
For strict medical use only; Ellansé S and Ellansé M must only be injected by qualified and appropriately trained healthcare professionals experienced in soft tissue augmentation and familiar with Ellansé instructions for use.
Before treatment, obtain full medical history, assess indications and contraindications, discuss expectations, and obtain informed consent.
Cleanse and disinfect the treatment area using appropriate antiseptic techniques under aseptic conditions.
Attach the supplied 27G 3/4" needle or a suitable sterile cannula to the prefilled syringe according to the manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring secure Luer-lock connection and removal of air bubbles.
Inject slowly into the mid to deep dermis or subcutaneous/hypodermal layer of the face depending on the indication and anatomical location, using appropriate linear threading, fanning or bolus techniques while aspirating according to local practice to reduce risk of intravascular injection.
Avoid intravascular injection and high-risk vascular zones; do not overcorrect and distribute product evenly to achieve smooth, natural results.
Gently mould or massage the treated area if required to optimise contour and integration, following the instructions for use and clinical training guidance.
Provide post-treatment advice, including avoiding make-up for a period (often ~12–24 hours), avoiding excessive pressure, extreme temperatures, saunas, swimming pools and strenuous exercise until initial swelling and redness have subsided.
Schedule follow-up review to assess outcomes and manage any adverse effects or need for additional treatment.
Use each syringe for a single patient only and dispose of all sharps and used devices in accordance with local regulations and infection control standards.
Contraindications
Known hypersensitivity or allergy to any component of the product (e.g., polycaprolactone, carboxymethylcellulose or excipients)
Pregnant or breast-feeding women, or patients actively trying to conceive or undergoing assisted reproduction, as the product is not indicated in these groups
Patients under 18 years of age
History of hypertrophic or keloid scarring or a tendency to form keloids in the proposed treatment area
Active skin disease, inflammation or infection (e.g., acne, psoriasis, dermatitis, cold sores/herpes labialis) at or near the intended injection site
Systemic infection, fever or significant acute illness at the time of treatment
Uncontrolled systemic diseases such as poorly controlled diabetes, significant autoimmune or connective tissue disorders, immunosuppression (medical or drug-related), active malignancy or recent chemotherapy/radiotherapy, unless carefully evaluated and cleared by the treating physician
Known coagulation disorders or current use of anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication that significantly increases bleeding risk, unless carefully assessed and managed by the treating clinician
Previous permanent fillers or implants (e.g., silicone) or certain surgical materials in the intended treatment area where interaction with Ellansé could pose a risk
Recent isotretinoin (Roaccutane) therapy (typically within the last 6 months), according to expert guidelines
Any condition or circumstance that, in the opinion of the treating practitioner, could increase the risk of complications or interfere with healing, including unrealistic expectations or inability to comply with aftercare instructions
Adverse Effects
Common injection-related reactions: transient pain or tenderness, erythema (redness), swelling/oedema, warmth, pruritus and local discomfort at the injection site
Bruising or ecchymosis at injection sites, which may occasionally be extensive and take up to two weeks or more to resolve
Transient lumps, irregularities or firmness due to product placement or local swelling; usually resolve but may require massage or clinical review
Nodules or granuloma-like reactions (delayed lumps) which may appear weeks to months after treatment; may be associated with inflammation or triggered by intercurrent illness or immune activation and require specialist management
Infection at the injection site, presenting with warmth, redness, swelling and pain days after treatment; may require antibiotics and medical intervention
Reactivation of herpes simplex (cold sores), particularly when treating perioral regions
Hypersensitivity or inflammatory reactions, including prolonged redness, swelling or induration
Vascular occlusion due to inadvertent intravascular injection or external compression, characterised by severe pain, skin blanching or livedo, and poor capillary refill; can lead to tissue ischaemia, necrosis and scarring if not promptly recognised and managed
Extremely rare but serious complications reported with dermal fillers in general, such as visual disturbance or blindness due to embolisation to retinal vessels, and cerebrovascular events including stroke when filler enters or compresses arterial circulation in high-risk areas
Other rare events described with soft tissue fillers such as prolonged oedema, delayed inflammatory reactions, or late-onset immune-mediated responses
Storage Conditions
Store Ellansé S and Ellansé M in their original packaging in a clean, dry, secure environment.
Recommended storage temperature: generally between 15 °C and 25 °C (or 2–25 °C depending on specific local IFU), protected from direct sunlight.
Do not freeze; avoid excessive heat or temperature fluctuations.
Keep out of the reach and sight of children and unauthorised persons.
Do not use after the expiry date indicated on the packaging and do not use if the blister or syringe appears damaged or compromised.
Store and transport in accordance with local regulations for sterile Class III medical devices.
Duration
Typical visible effect is immediate and maintained for approximately 1 year with Ellans\u00e9 S and up to approximately 2 years with Ellans\u00e9 M; actual duration depends on patient factors, treatment area, volume injected and practitioner technique.
Onset
Immediate volumising and wrinkle-correcting effect directly after injection from the CMC gel carrier, with progressive improvement over several months as PCL microspheres stimulate neocollagenesis and remodel facial contours.
