What is Ellacor?
Ellacor is an innovative, minimally invasive cosmetic treatment designed to reduce signs of aging, specifically targeting wrinkles and excess skin, primarily on the face. The procedure utilizes advanced micro-coring technology, a method that involves the precise removal of small, full-thickness cores of skin. This technique, less invasive than traditional surgical facelifts, is aimed at stimulating the body’s natural healing process and promoting the production of collagen and elastin, two key proteins that provide structure and elasticity to the skin. Not only does this procedure stimulate natural healing, but removes a percentage of the skin to truly tighten the skin and reduce laxity (excess skin). As a result, Ellacor helps in achieving a more youthful appearance with improvements in skin texture and firmness, all without any scarring.
Ellacor treats:
- Wrinkles and Fine Lines
- Skin Laxity (Sagging Skin)
- Textural Improvements
- Facial Contouring

The Ellacor Procedure
Preparing for Your Procedure
As with any procedure, you should stop any medication or supplements that are not essential for 10-14 days prior to decrease your risk of bleeding complications. Please refer to your list of medications to avoid and always check with your doctor prior to stopping medications.
Micro-Coring & Stimulating Natural Healing
Ellacor employs a specialized device that removes tiny, full-thickness cores of skin. This micro-coring technique is precise, removing only small fractions of skin and leaving the surrounding areas intact.
The removal of these skin cores creates a controlled injury, which triggers the body’s natural healing response. This process involves the production of new collagen and elastin, proteins that are essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.
Not only does triggering the skin’s natural healing response keep scars from forming, but reducing the skin’s surface area by removing small cores of skin will naturally tighten the skin.
Duration & Treatment Area
The duration of the Ellacor procedure can vary depending on the size of the treatment area and the extent of the skin issues being addressed. It is generally a relatively quick procedure, often completed within an hour.
No Scarring with Ellacor
You do not need to worry about scarring as a side effect of an Ellacor treatment. Ellacor’s micro-coring treatment eliminates visible scarring due to its minimally invasive approach. The microcores are so small that they collapse and heal easily, resulting in stunning results without the consequence of scarring.
In addition, Ellacor stimulates the body’s natural healing process, allowing the surrounding tissue to close the tiny gaps without significant scar tissue formation. The increased collagen production aids in smooth healing, enhancing skin regeneration.
Recovery
Possible Side Effects
After the treatment, patients may experience some redness, swelling, or bruising in the treated area. These side effects are usually mild and subside within a few days. The doctor will provide specific aftercare instructions to aid in recovery and optimize results.
Recovery Time & Results
One of the advantages of Ellacor is its minimal downtime. Patients can often resume their normal activities shortly after the procedure, although they may be advised to avoid strenuous activities for a brief period. We recommend avoiding strenuous activities for 1-2 weeks.
The results of Ellacor develop over time as the skin heals. Improvements in skin texture and firmness can be observed as the production of collagen and elastin increases, leading to a reduction in wrinkles and a more youthful appearance. In addition, talk to your doctor about Thread Lifts treatment for lifting and tightening effects if you want to enhance your look even further.
Ellacor FAQs
The results of Ellacor typically begin to appear within a few weeks, with full effects observable several months post-treatment as collagen production increases. These improvements can last for several years, although the exact duration varies depending on individual factors like skin type, age, lifestyle, and skincare regimen.
While Ellacor effectively counters signs of aging, it does not halt the natural aging process, and some patients may opt for maintenance treatments to prolong the results. Adhering to good skincare practices and leading a healthy lifestyle can also help extend the benefits of the Ellacor treatment.
While many patients notice improvements after just one session, the total number needed can depend on factors such as the extent of skin laxity and the depth of wrinkles. Ellacor treatments are customized for each individual, with some requiring multiple sessions spaced weeks or months apart for optimal results. Additionally, periodic maintenance treatments may be desired to sustain the skin’s improved appearance.
While both Ellacor and facelifts target facial aging, they differ significantly in their approach, recovery time, results, and suitability for different patients. Ellacor offers a less invasive alternative with more subtle, gradual results and minimal downtime, whereas a facelift provides more dramatic, immediate changes but involves a surgical procedure with longer recovery.
