Ellansé, Sculptra and Gouri: rebuild your own collagen
Collagen stimulators prompt your skin to rebuild its own collagen for firmer, lifted skin that improves over months. We offer Ellansé, Sculptra and Gouri, matched to your face at consultation.
Three options
Ellansé, Sculptra or Gouri: which suits you?
Ellansé gives instant volume and keeps building collagen. Sculptra rebuilds volume and firmness over a course, with no instant change. Gouri is a liquid collagen stimulator that spreads across the whole face from a single point, firming and lifting without adding volume.
- Ellansé: instant lift, then collagen for months
- Sculptra: gradual volume over a course
- Gouri: whole-face firmness with no added volume
- Your practitioner matches the product to your face
The treatment
What are Collagen Stimulators?
Collagen stimulators are injectable treatments that prompt your skin to produce its own collagen, available at PureSkin in Marylebone, London. Instead of filling lines, they rebuild the support structure under the skin, so your face looks firmer, lifted and more youthful over the following months. We offer three: Ellansé, Sculptra and Gouri, and your practitioner recommends the one that suits your face and goals.
- Firmer, tighter skin as collagen rebuilds
- Lift and structure that look natural
- Results that keep improving for months
- Longer-lasting than standard fillers
- Options with or without added volume

The science
How do Collagen Stimulators work?
Each product places a biostimulating material under the skin. Your body responds by laying down new collagen around it, which thickens and firms the skin and restores support. Ellansé adds a gel carrier for immediate volume, while Sculptra and Gouri work through collagen alone, so their results build over several weeks.

Questions
Collagen Stimulators FAQs
What is a collagen stimulator?
A collagen stimulator is an injectable treatment that prompts your skin to produce its own collagen. It firms and lifts the skin over weeks to months, rather than only filling an area.
What is the difference between Ellansé and Sculptra?
Ellansé gives instant volume from its gel and keeps building collagen for months. Sculptra has no instant effect and rebuilds volume and firmness over a short course. Your practitioner recommends one based on your face.
What is Gouri?
Gouri is a liquid polycaprolactone (PCL) collagen stimulator that spreads across the whole face from a single treatment point. It improves elasticity, firmness and lift without adding volume or changing your features, and most clients need one session.
How much do collagen stimulators cost in London?
At PureSkin, Gouri costs from £199, Ellansé from £550 and Sculptra £700 per session. Your consultation is free, and your practitioner confirms the plan and price.
How long do collagen stimulators last?
Collagen stimulators last longer than standard hyaluronic acid fillers because your own collagen does the work. Your practitioner explains the expected duration for your chosen product at consultation.
Are collagen stimulators better than fillers?
They do different jobs. Fillers add volume in a precise spot and show results straight away. Collagen stimulators rebuild firmness and support across an area over time, and many clients combine both.
Do collagen stimulators hurt?
We apply numbing cream first, and some products contain local anaesthetic, so most clients feel pressure and brief stinging. The area can feel tender for a day or two.
When will I see results?
Ellansé shows volume straight away. Sculptra and Gouri build over several weeks as new collagen forms, so the full result shows over 2 to 3 months.
Where can I get Ellansé, Sculptra or Gouri in London?
PureSkin offers Ellansé, Sculptra and Gouri at 11 Welbeck Street, London W1G 9XZ, in Marylebone, a minute from Harley Street and a short walk from Bond Street station. The clinic is open Monday to Saturday, 11am to 7pm.
