Rejuvenate Your Skin With Ellacor
Ellacor is a minimally invasive treatment that uses micro-coring technology to treat moderate to severe signs of aging and skin imperfections. It is the first FDA-approved non-surgical treatment that involves the removal of loose skin.
The Ellacor device uses tiny hollow needles that puncture the skin and remove “micro-cores” or thin columns of tissue. This triggers the body’s natural healing, which includes regeneration of healthy skin and collagen stimulation for a skin-tightening and resurfacing effect. This treatment does not use heat so there is no risk of damaging the surrounding skin.
What Areas & Concerns Does Ellacor Work Best For?
Ellacor is commonly used to treat signs of aging on the lower face, including the jawline. We have also used it to effectively treat scarring and a variety of skin imperfections, including:
Loose Skin
As the skin ages, it loses elasticity and structure, which leads to skin laxity or loose skin. This can give the face a droopy, aged appearance. Ellacor removes loose skin and tightens the remaining tissues to smooth the skin’s appearance and redefine the contours of the lower face.
Sagging Jowls
Jowling, or deep skin folds on the jawline, can create the appearance of a double chin or droopy lower face. Ellacor skin tightening treatment can significantly improve the appearance of jowls and other types of deep wrinkles on the jawline, neck, and lower face.
Acne Scars
By removing micro-cores of skin and resurfacing healthy skin tissues, Ellacor can significantly improve the appearance of acne scarring. Because the damaged skin is removed, these results are permanent.
Wrinkles
Fine lines and deeper wrinkles can all be treated during your Ellacor procedure. This is a great treatment option for nasolabial folds (laugh lines), marionette lines, and perioral lines around the mouth.
Ellacor Treatment
Ellacor treatments take 30 minutes or less and can be performed in a comfortable procedure room at our office or a surgical suite. Dr. Wix Harris or Dr. Johnson will start your treatment by numbing the area and then the Ellacor device will be carefully moved across your skin. Because the skin will be numbed, you will not feel any pain as the needles puncture the skin. We typically recommend a series of three treatments scheduled one month apart for the best results.
Recovery & Downtime: 3-7 days (It’s important to note that all patients are different, and heal at different rates. Recovery time ranges from a few days to weeks, which can vary by patient and treatment settings)
Numbing: Local anesthesia (Injection numbing & topical numbing)
Cost: Varies depending on the treatment area
Candidacy: Healthy adults with loose skin, wrinkling
Duration: One year or more
