— A Popular Collagen-Stimulating Fillers

PCL fillers represent a different approach to facial rejuvenation in aesthetic medicine. While traditional dermal fillers primarily work by replacing lost volume, PCL (polycaprolactone) fillers take things a step further by stimulating the skin's own collagen production — supporting improvements in firmness, texture, and overall skin quality that develop gradually over time.

Across Asia, including Taiwan, China, and Singapore, PCL fillers have seen growing interest among individuals who prefer collagen restoration and skin quality improvement over more dramatic volumetric changes. This shift reflects a broader move towards treatments that work with the body's natural processes.

At Artisan Clinic Singapore, our doctors are trained in refined injection techniques, ensuring that PCL fillers are delivered with precision and care — working with your natural facial structure to maintain harmony and balance.
Whether your concerns involve fine lines, skin laxity, or long-term collagen health, PCL fillers offer a clinically backed approach that works gradually with the body's own renewal processes.
In the sections below, we cover how PCL fillers work, their key characteristics, and their role in collagen-based facial rejuvenation in Singapore.

What Is PCL Filler (少女针)?

PCL fillers — commonly known as 少女针 in Chinese — go a step beyond traditional dermal fillers by supporting the skin's natural renewal process. Rather than simply replacing lost volume, PCL fillers stimulate collagen production from within, addressing common signs of ageing such as sagging, fine lines, and reduced firmness.


The treatment consists of polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. The gel provides initial volume and contour, while the PCL microspheres gradually activate the skin's collagen-building processes over the following months. This dual action offers both an immediate volumising effect and progressive skin strengthening — with results that can be sustained over an extended period.


Unlike conventional fillers that primarily address volume loss, PCL fillers work as a collagen stimulator — encouraging the skin to rebuild its own structure and elasticity for outcomes that develop naturally over time.

How Does PCL Filler (少女针) Work?

PCL filler works in two stages — providing an initial volumising effect and long-term collagen stimulation for results that develop naturally over time.

01

PCL Microspheres Collagen Stimulation

A key component of this treatment is polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres, which function as a biostimulator. Once injected, these biodegradable microspheres work to encourage collagen production in the treated area. This process occurs not only in the deeper layers where the filler is placed but also in the surrounding dermis, contributing to:

Improved Skin Quality

— Firmer, smoother, and more elastic skin over time.

Long-lasting lift and volume

— Effects that continue to improve over the following months and can last several years.

02

CMC Gel — Initial Volume & Lift

While collagen takes time to rebuild, the carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) gel component provides an initial volumising effect. It helps lift and restore volume to areas of concern, offering a refreshed appearance shortly after treatment — even before the collagen stimulation process begins.

03

Artisan Techniques for Natural Results

When performed with refined technique and a holistic approach, PCL filler can create a subtle, naturally lifted appearance. At Artisan Clinic Singapore, our doctors focus on working with your facial contours rather than overfilling, aiming for a refreshed look that still looks like you.This two-phase effect — initial volume combined with long-term collagen rebuilding — is what makes PCL filler a valued option for those seeking gradual, natural-looking improvement.

The PCL Filler (少女针) Difference

Exceptional Safety Record

PCL fillers have been studied across multiple clinical trials. In one systematic review involving over 1,100 patients, more than 83% experienced only mild, short-lived side effects, with no reports of serious complications including vascular injuries (ResearchGate). A separate multicenter study that followed patients for up to 30 months also reported no severe adverse events, supporting PCL's profile as a well-tolerated option over the longer term (ResearchGate).

High G′ (G-prime) – Built for Lifting

This filler is recognised for its high G′ (firmness), which provides structural support beneath the skin. This property allows it to lift and contour areas such as the cheeks, jawline, chin, and nose — functioning similarly to a soft-thread lift, with results that settle naturally over time.

Cohesive, Stable Fill for Controlled Placement

PCL filler is cohesive, meaning once placed, it stays in position — unlike some conventional fillers that may spread or shift over time. This makes it well-suited for mobile areas of the face, such as the smile lines and cheeks, where precise placement is important for a balanced outcome.

Why It Stands Apart from Traditional HA Fillers

Bottom line: PCL filler offers a clinically validated safety profile, powerful lifting capacity, and reliable positional stability. It’s a refined collagen stimulator that sculpts with control—ensuring results look natural and balanced.

Who Is PCL Filler (少女针) For?

PCL filler goes beyond volume replacement — it supports reshaping, lifting, and restoring facial structure in a way that develops naturally over time. It is well-suited for individuals seeking long-lasting, collagen-stimulating outcomes tailored to their unique facial anatomy.

Sunken or Aged Faces

For those experiencing volume loss that leaves the face looking tired or hollow, PCL filler works by encouraging collagen production from within the skin. It helps address hollow areas such as the temples, cheeks, and under-eyes, while also contributing to improvements in overall skin texture. Over time, patients may observe a reduction in wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven skin tone as collagen renewal takes effect.

Sunken or Aged Faces

When the lower face begins to lose its support structure — leading to nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and jowls — traditional fillers alone may not fully address the concern. PCL filler, combined with strategic injection techniques, can create a lifting effect similar to a thread lift by targeting key support points across the face, without resulting in a puffy or overdone appearance.

Sunken or Aged Faces

PCL filler is a suitable option for those looking to improve facial balance and structure. It can be applied along the jawline, chin, and nose to subtly refine these features, working towards a more defined and proportionate facial profile. The goal is to enhance structure while preserving the face's natural softness and character.

Sunken or Aged Faces

A common assumption is that fillers aren't suitable for fuller or rounder faces — especially those that may already appear overfilled from previous treatments. However, with a methodical sculpting approach, PCL filler can be used to contour and define facial features, bringing more structure and balance to rounder face shapes.

How Much PCL Filler (少女针)  Do You Need?

The amount of PCL filler used varies from person to person, depending on:

Common Myths About PCL Filler (少女针)

Myth 1
“PCL filler will make my face look overfilled. 🧐“

Overfilled results can occur when a treatment is not well-planned. At Artisan Clinic Singapore, our doctors strategically place the filler to balance volume, lift at the right support points, and work towards a natural-looking outcome. With proper placement and technique, the same amount of filler can produce a well-balanced result.

Myth 2
“I already have a full, round face — won't this make it worse? 🧐”

Not necessarily. When injected with a sculpting and lifting approach, PCL filler can help define and contour the face by restoring support and lifting sagging tissues. The focus is on reshaping, not just adding volume.

Unlike other fillers in Singapore, Ellansé is a filler which contains collagen stimulation properties and does not use hyaluronic acid as its main component.

The main component of Ellansé fillers is Poly-Caprolactone (PCL), a type of long lasting polymer that your body can absorb naturally over time. With the use of collagen, Ellansé fillers restore volume to the skin as well as lifting it and making it look healthier.

WHAT IS ELLANSÉ

How does Ellansé fillers work?

The inevitable effects of aging is a loss of collagen and elastin within the dermis. As we age, our skin, fat and muscles in our face slowly degenerate. Sagging skin, wrinkles, eye bags, sunken temples. These are all signs of aging that can make us look weary and haggard.

Ellansé fillers contains polycaprolactone (PCL), a bioresorbable medical polymer that stimulates neocollagenesis. This process allows your skin to naturally produce collagen over 3-6 months, which fights against and slows down the effects of aging.

Benefits of Ellansé fillers in Singapore

Ellansé has an advantage whereby a single* session is enough to correct and rejuvenate (*depending on the lack of tissue and ageing of the skin). The administration process is totally pain-free with local anesthetic injection or application of anesthetic cream.

  • Restoring volume to the face
  • Reducing the appearance of dark eye circles
  • Contouring the nose bridge
  • Enhancing chin and jawline definition
  • Stimulating collagen growth
  • Reducing facial aging

The Ellansé filler difference

Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid-based fillers which address signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles by filling up lost volume, Ellansé fillers directly reverses the underlying causes of ageing, resulting in longer lasting results.
