What is ellacor?
ellacor with Micro-Coring Technology is the first and only device of its kind. It removes skin on the microscale, with 90% of patients showing an improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles.
An elegantly simple concept, ellacor uses hollow needles to remove aging and sagging skin, creating real improvement in moderate to severe wrinkles in the mid and lower face. It is a radical departure from other treatments. A new bridge between traditional minimally invasive options and surgical procedures.
The result is skin removal without surgery, general anesthesia, or scarring. Natural-looking results and a new way to address wrinkles at an aesthetic level not seen before. Over 86% of patients are satisfied with their ellacor results.

How ellacor Works
01
Numb & Prepare
On the day of the procedure, a local anesthetic is applied to the treatment area to keep patients comfortable from start to finish. No general anesthesia is required.
02
Micro-Core
Once the skin is numb, the ellacor device is strategically placed to create micro-cores in a precise grid pattern. Hollow needles remove excess skin at the micro scale.
03
Heal & Reveal
The micro-cores are so tiny that they begin to heal almost immediately, with no evidence of scarring. Mid- and lower-face wrinkles improve as the skin recovers.

No two faces age the same way, and no single treatment is right for everyone. The guide below covers general criteria, but we always confirm candidacy in person.
