What is Ellacor?
Ellacor is a revolutionary FDA-cleared innovation that punches out hundreds of tiny columns of skin and removes excess laxity to deliver significant tightening of the skin.
Unlike traditional surgeries, Ellacor dramatically improves the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles, particularly in the mid to lower face, without the pain or lengthy recovery times. As the first procedure of its kind, Ellacor removes skin without the use of heat, lasers, or radio frequency.
Am I a Good Candidate?
Ellacor is an ideal solution to reduce wrinkles & tighten their skin without undergoing surgery. However, as with any medical procedure, individual needs and outcomes can vary. In our practice, Ellacor is particularly effective for those with residual wrinkles in the mid to lower face, after rejuvenation of the skin with fillers, botox and is a potent alternative to tightening devices like Hifu and microneedling plus radio frequency.
Benefits:
- First and Only FDA-Cleared Non-Surgical Skin Removal: Ellacor is a unique procedure that removes skin without causing scarring.
- Effective on Laxity: Clinical trials have demonstrated that 90% of patients experience improvement in moderate to severe wrinkles.
- Minimal Pain: With appropriate anesthesia, most patients rated their pain level as minimum.
- Short Recovery Time: Recovery can range from 2 to 5 days but red marks can remain for up to 2 weeks, depending on individual healing processes.
- No Thermal Energy: Unlike other devices that use heat, Ellacor microscopically removes skin without the thermal effect of lasers, radio frequency, or ultrasound energy, which is an advantage for certain skin types.
More Details:
- How Does Ellacor Work? Ellacor employs specially designed hollow needles to punch out tiny micro-cores of skin, enhancing the appearance of wrinkles. These needles operate across the treatment area, removing 5 to 8% of the skin – several square centimeters in every session. As the skin heals, it naturally closes these micro-cores, resulting in a smoother, tighter appearance with no scars.
- How is Ellacor Different from Other Skin Treatments? Unlike microneedling, which punctures skin without removing it, Ellacor is the first device to remove skin on a microscale, a process called micro-coring. The technique allows removal of customized amount of skin safely with long term results.
- How Many Procedures Will I Need? Each patient’s skin is unique. Depending on your case, you may need 1 to 3 treatment, spaced approximately 30 days apart. Our experts will guide you in determining the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific needs.
Is the Recovery Long?
Recovery times vary based on individual factors, but most patients heal within several days to few weeks. We will offer more specific information tailored to your skin and treatment settings once we examine you.
Ellacor Vs surgical facelift
In comparison, a facelift generally removes more skin, but it isn’t always suitable for everyone. various alternative treatments, such as energy-based devices, are used to smooth the skin. However, these minimally invasive treatments and energy-based skin devices may not always be sufficient. For patients in this “in-between zone,” Ellacor offers a powerful solution, bridging the gap between energy-based skin treatments and facelift surgery.
Is Ellacor Right for You?
If you are seeking a non-invasive, effective solution for moderate to severe wrinkles, Ellacor could be the ideal procedure for you.
