New ellacor® Micro-Coring™ Technology

The system is equipped with hollowed-out needles that ‘punch out’ and remove thousands of skin cells, triggering the skin’s natural healing processes. This FDA-approved procedure can help patients who are struggling with signs of aging and other skin issues, allowing them to rejuvenate and revitalize their look.

What is Ellacor?

What makes Ellacor different from other minimally-invasive treatments is its cutting-edge micro-coring technology. This unique skin rejuvenation technique can remove thousands of microscopic skin fragments in as little as 10 to 15 minutes. As with most cosmetic skin treatments, patients find that they require a few days of healing before they feel better and start seeing the results. After about 2 to 3 months, there is a perceivable reduction in the appearance of fine lines and sagging skin. Furthermore, the device’s needs are incredibly small, meaning that there are virtually no scars left behind following the treatment.

What are the benefits of Ellacor?

Across the industry, Ellacor is considered to be a turning point in skin treatments. While this unique, innovative technology comes with a wide array of benefits, it is most often touted and sought-after for its ability to reduce signs of aging in the face (wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, etc). Best of all, the treatment accomplishes these changes without having to make any incisions, meaning that patients walk away essentially scar-free.

Other benefits of Ellacor treatments include:

Revitalization of the face
A completely non-invasive procedure
A short recovery period
Reduces jowls and provides the face with more definition
Reduces wrinkles, folds, and fine lines

What conditions is Ellacor designed to treat?

Ellacor micro-coring technology is a great treatment option for those who are looking to refresh and revitalize their skin without having to undergo surgery. The device contains stainless steel 22-gauge micro-needles which can address loose and sagging skin in areas such as the jawline, cheeks, jowls, and chin. After undergoing the procedure, patients find that their skin is more supple and elastic than it’s been in years.

Beyond its incredible effects, patients love Ellacor for the fact that it leaves behind little-to-no scarring. Patients can see a major difference in their skin after just a few visits and there is virtually no downtime following the treatment sessions.

Who is an ideal candidate for Ellacor?

Ellacor is a great treatment option for patients who are early on in the aging process and are starting to see signs of wrinkles and lines. Patients who are further along in life and have more pronounced signs of aging in the face may not see the greatest benefit from this procedure. That said, patients who have milder issues can definitely get to where they want to be.

Beyond that, ideal candidates should:

Be in good physical and mental health

Be free of any serious medical issues that could lead to complications
Have no history of keloid scarring
Be free of any skin blemishes or conditions that may be worsened by the treatment
Have avoided all skin treatments for at least six months
Refrain from taking any blood thinners or supplements that could affect the procedure
Have realistic expectations for the results of the treatment

What does the Ellacor procedure involve?

Although Ellacor is totally non-surgical in nature, patients will still be advised to receive an anesthetic prior to the treatment to make sure that they are fully comfortable. Once the anesthetic has been administered, the Ellacor handpiece is applied to the patient’s skin, punching out small fragments of skin and stimulating collagen production. The device then removes all the particles from the area.

What is the recovery process for Ellacor like?

Ellacor is one of the best treatments out there for patients who are looking to revitalize themselves without needing to undergo a surgical procedure. While it is a considerably gentle procedure, patients may still experience symptoms such as swelling, bleeding, oozing, and redness for a few days. That said, these effects usually fade away within a few days and patients are then able to get back to their normal routines. However, residual bruising can persist for up to 10 days following the procedure.
