The Ellacor procedure utilizes a groundbreaking technology called Micro-Coring. Imagine tiny needles gently removing micro-columns of skin, targeting specific areas with wrinkles and laxity. This controlled removal triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen production. Collagen is the protein responsible for the skin’s plumpness and elasticity. As collagen production ramps up, the treatment area tightens, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Ellacor with Micro-Coring Technology is the first and only device of its kind that removes skin on the
microscale with 90% of patients showing an improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe
wrinkles. Ellacor provides natural-looking results without the pain associated with more invasive surgery
or procedures. Over 86% of patients are satisfied with their Ellacor results!
Unlike traditional microneedling, which creates controlled injuries to stimulate collagen, Ellacor removes a small percentage of skin tissue. This distinction is key – Ellacor offers a more targeted approach to address wrinkles and sagging, potentially leading to more dramatic results.
Ellacor uses hollow needles to remove micro-cores of skin, resulting in an improved appearance of
moderate to severe wrinkles in the mid and lower face, as well as around the mouth, without the evidence of scarring. The Ellacor procedure removes excess sagging skin, leading to lower facial tightening and a visible reduction in skin laxity along the jawline.
Science backs the effectiveness of Ellacor. Clinical studies have shown significant improvement in wrinkles and skin laxity in the mid-to-lower face and neck. Patients reported a noticeable reduction in fine lines and deeper wrinkles, with a tighter, firmer feel to their skin.
It’s important to remember that individual results may vary. Factors like skin condition, age, and lifestyle can influence how patients respond to treatment. During your consultation at Ayana Dermatology & Aesthetics, our experienced team will assess your unique needs and determine if Ellacor is the right option for you.
• In-office procedure performed under local anesthesia
• Visible, natural-looking results
• 90% of patients showed improvement in moderate to severe wrinkles
• Precisely removes excess skin from targeted areas
Ellacor is ideal for patients looking for a non-surgical solution for mid-to-lower face wrinkles and excess skin. Ellacor is approved for Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV, which means it may not be a good option for patients with darker skin tones. Ellacor should not be performed on people who have medical conditions that inhibit proper wound healing and women who are pregnant.
On the day of your procedure, you will receive a local anesthetic to the treated area to help you stay comfortable during the procedure. Once your skin is numb, your provider will strategically place the ellacor device on your skin to create micro-cores in a precise grid pattern. Excess skin will be removed through hollow needles, but the micro-cores are so tiny that they will begin to heal almost immediately.
The number of Ellacor sessions required can vary based on individual skin conditions and desired outcomes. Generally, most patients achieve optimal results after two to three sessions spaced about one month apart. Your dermatologist will assess your skin and create a personalized treatment plan to ensure the best results.
Ellacor results are long-lasting, with many patients enjoying smoother and firmer skin for up to a year or more. The longevity of the results can be influenced by factors such as skincare routine, sun exposure, and overall skin health. Regular maintenance treatments and good skincare habits can help prolong the benefits.
Tips for maintaining results:
While Ellacor is generally safe, it is essential to be aware of potential risks and considerations. Here are some key points to keep in mind:
Remember, your dermatologist will provide detailed safety information and address any concerns during your consultation. It’s important to choose a board-certified dermatologist with extensive experience performing Ellacor to minimize potential risks and ensure optimal outcomes.
