Ellansé in Seoul
Ellansé is a collagen-stimulating booster treatment offered at DERNA Clinic, located in Seocho-gu, Seoul. For patients researching Ellansé Seoul options, this page outlines what the treatment involves, who it may suit, and what to expect during and after a session. Ellansé works by combining an immediate volumizing effect with a gradual collagen-building process, and it is available in S and M formulations, each administered per 1cc.
What it is
Ellansé is classified as a collagen booster. Unlike fillers that rely purely on volume, Ellansé is designed to provide two effects: an initial lift from the gel carrier and a longer-term stimulation of the body's own collagen production as the carrier is gradually absorbed. The S and M formulations differ mainly in viscosity and intended use, which a doctor will select based on the treatment area and the texture of the patient's skin. As with any injectable booster, individual results vary depending on skin condition, age, metabolism, and the amount used.
Who it suits
Ellansé may be considered by patients who are looking for gradual skin improvement rather than an immediate dramatic change. It is often discussed for areas where mild to moderate volume loss or skin laxity is a concern, or where a patient wants a treatment that continues to support collagen production over time rather than one that only fills space temporarily. People who have used other booster or filler treatments before and are familiar with typical injectable side effects may find the process straightforward. A consultation is necessary to confirm whether Ellansé, and which formulation, is appropriate for a given area and goal, since suitability depends on individual skin assessment.
Who should avoid it
Ellansé is generally not recommended for individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, those with active skin infections or inflammation in the treatment area, or people with a known allergy to any component of the product. Patients with keloid tendencies, uncontrolled autoimmune conditions, or a history of unusual reactions to injectable treatments should discuss this in detail with the doctor before proceeding. Anyone currently taking blood-thinning medication, or with a bleeding disorder, should mention this during consultation, since it may affect bruising risk. Because individual medical histories vary widely, a proper in-person evaluation is required before any decision is made — this page does not replace that assessment.
How the session goes
A typical visit begins with a consultation where the doctor examines the skin, discusses the patient's goals, and determines whether Ellansé is a reasonable option, along with which formulation and how much product may be needed. The skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to reduce discomfort. The doctor then injects the product using a needle or cannula, depending on the treatment area and technique preferred. Sessions are usually completed within the same visit, though the exact time depends on the number of areas treated and the amount of product used. Patients are generally able to see the treated area immediately, though some swelling or redness at the injection site is common right after the procedure.
Downtime and recovery
Downtime after Ellansé is usually mild but can vary between individuals. Redness, slight swelling, or small bruises at injection points are common in the first few days and typically settle within a week, though this timeline is not guaranteed for everyone. Patients are often advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, sauna use, and alcohol for a short period after treatment, and to avoid pressing or massaging the treated area unless instructed otherwise by the doctor. Makeup can usually be applied once any visible injection marks have settled, but patients should follow the specific aftercare instructions given at DERNA Clinic during their visit, since recovery needs can differ by area and amount treated.
Pricing
The listed price for Ellansé at DERNA Clinic is 790,000 KRW. This price may be subject to VAT and can vary depending on the consultation, the area treated, and the amount of product required, so patients should confirm the final cost during their visit or through direct inquiry. For patients comparing Ellansé Seoul pricing across clinics, it is worth asking specifically whether the S or M formulation is being quoted, as this can affect both suitability and cost.

Safety
As with any injectable treatment, Ellansé carries some general risks, including temporary redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, or in rare cases infection or an uneven result. These risks are not unique to any single clinic and apply broadly to booster and filler treatments. A thorough consultation, an accurate medical history, and a properly trained injector are important factors in reducing avoidable complications, though no treatment can be described as entirely free of risk. DERNA Clinic's medical team includes doctors with varied clinical backgrounds, as listed on this website, and patients are encouraged to ask directly about the specific doctor who will perform their treatment and their relevant experience before proceeding.
Frequently asked questions
How long does the effect of Ellansé usually last?
Duration varies by individual and treatment area, and it depends on factors such as metabolism, the amount used, and the formulation selected; a doctor can give a more specific estimate based on personal assessment during consultation.
Is Ellansé the same as a traditional dermal filler?
Not exactly. While it does provide some immediate volume like a filler, Ellansé is categorized as a collagen booster because it is also designed to stimulate the body's own collagen production over time.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most patients experience mild discomfort during injection, which can often be reduced with topical numbing cream; sensitivity varies from person to person.
Can I choose between the S and M formulations myself?
The choice is generally made together with the doctor after an in-person assessment, since it depends on the treatment area, skin condition, and the specific goals discussed during consultation.
What should I do if I notice unusual swelling or pain after treatment?
Patients experiencing unusual or prolonged swelling, pain, or other concerning symptoms after treatment should contact the clinic directly using the phone number or email listed on this website for further guidance.
