Ellacor is an innovative skin treatment that removes loose skin, minimizing the appearance of wrinkles and visible sagging.

Ellacor effectively delivers a younger-looking appearance without any scarring. Learn more about this one-of-a-kind micro-coring treatment.

Ellacor Micro-Coring in Birmingham

Ellacor is a skin tightening treatment that removes loose and excess skin. This tissue removal improves the appearance of aged skin by removing skin that has lost elasticity. Common areas of treatment include the marionette lines and jowls.

This treatment is FDA-approved for the mid and lower face. This removes areas of excess skin on the microscale. This is a minimally invasive procedure. It does not require surgery or the use of thermal (heat) energy.

This treatment is ideal for patients with mild or moderate skin laxity due to aging or weight loss. If you are interested in Ellacor, schedule a consultation at Dr. Ellen Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery in the Birmingham area.

What Should I Do Before My Ellacor Micro-Coring Treatment?

Before your Ellacor treatment, you must consult with a professional to see if the treatment is right for you. Your provider will examine your skin and discuss your medical history and goals. Your provider will determine the right plan for your needs at your consultation. In most treatments, patients undergo up to three Ellacor treatments spaced 30-45 days apart.

How Is Ellacor Micro-Coring Performed in Troy?

Before your treatment, your skin specialist may apply a topical anesthetic and an injected anesthetic to numb the treatment area. The Ellacor technology uses hollow needles to remove micro-cores of excess skin, resulting in younger-looking skin. The removed micro-cores are vacuumed through the hollow needles.

This safe and effective treatment targets mid and lower-face areas without any scarring. This is because the diameter of each needle is below 0.5 mm and is below the requirement for scarring.

The Ellacor device glides across the 10 mm square treatment area, removing microcores of skin in less than 30 minutes. After the procedure, your body will naturally heal, and the skin will realign where the micro-cores were created.

This treatment has a quick healing time compared to other skin tightening techniques. Comparable techniques include surgery and thermal laser treatments. Ellacor micro-coring is the first skin tightening treatment to remove skin on the micro-scale. This treatment focuses on removing the aged skin cells and healing the skin.

How Should I Care for My Skin Following Ellacor Micro-Coring?

After your Ellacor treatment, you should expect three to seven days of downtime, depending on the amount of skin removed. You may experience initial redness, bruising, and swelling in the treatment area. Recovery usually is relatively painless and can be addressed with over-the-counter medications. You should avoid using makeup or skincare products for one week after your procedure.

Your doctor may provide you an ointment to use following your treatment until healed. It is essential to follow all at-home care instructions to ensure proper healing of the area.

How long do Ellacor results last?

Ellacor results can last anywhere from several months to five years, depending on your age, skin health, and how well you maintain your skin after treatment. Most patients experience impressive improvements in skin laxity and wrinkles for at least one to two years, with some enjoying even longer-lasting effects.

Is Ellacor painful?

Ellacor is designed to be a comfortable procedure thanks to the use of a local anesthetic similar to what dentists use. Patients usually feel only mild discomfort - most rated pain as a 2 out of 10 during clinical trials. The numbing process may involve a brief stinging sensation, but after anesthesia is applied, the treatment itself is generally pain-free. Mild tenderness or post-procedure discomfort along the treated area is normal and resolves quickly following your visit.

What age is best for Ellacor?

Ellacor is FDA-approved for adults aged 22 and older. Ideal candidates are those with moderate to severe wrinkles, skin laxity, or early signs of jowl formation, often beginning in their late thirties to forties. While patients in their mid-to-late thirties may benefit from the collagen-boosting effects, many find Ellacor most transformative once visible laxity and wrinkles begin to appear with age.

Does Ellacor help with jowls?

Ellacor is highly effective for treating moderate jowls and lower-face sagging, using micro-coring technology to tighten and lift the area without surgery. By removing tiny micro-cores of skin, Ellacor triggers natural collagen production and leads to a firmer, more sculpted jawline, minimizing signs of sagging for a smoother appearance. Most patients experience visible contour improvement and enhanced definition in the lower face and jawline.

How many times can you get Ellacor?

Most patients receive two to three Ellacor sessions spaced about one month apart to achieve optimal results. Your provider will customize the exact number of treatments based on your skin’s condition and goals. After the initial series, maintenance treatments are typically recommended every 12–24 months to keep skin looking its best. There’s no strict limit to how many times you can have Ellacor, as long as your skin is healthy and you follow your provider’s recommendations.
