Abstract

Facial injections have a comparative mature market and system in China, but all kinds of injection materials have their own advantages and disadvantages, even hyaluronic acid, as the most common injection material, can form an unnatural stiffness after injection. Currently, Ellansé, a biodegradable collagen stimulator, has shown superior aesthetic results while ensuring safety and naturalness, making it a more preferable choice for a variety of facial injections. The purpose of this review is to introduce the features and benefits of Ellansé, so that doctors in the field can better understand and learn how to use it properly and minimize the risk of complications, and have a better choice for the medical aesthetic field in China in numerous aspects. The papers with the keyword “Ellansé” is very few in number, and there is a lack of systematic overview. Ellansé itself has unique advantages for the Chinese population, as it is an attractive option for the treatment of aging face due to high patient satisfaction, long-lasting results and low side effects (Guo et al. in J Cosmet Dermatol 21(5):1959–1966, 2022). More clinical data will be available in the future to confirm its performance and longevity in various sites.
